Silky Colour Correcting

Love how this formula helps smooth the skin and also adds a little extra colour correcting. A very silky formula.

I personally love the lavender tone to help brighten my skin underneath makeup. The green is also great for helping soften red tones in the skin.

Tips: Drys quickly so don't waste time when applying.

Lovely primer

I have used the anti-redness primer, I love how this feels with the application, did not notice too much anti-redness though. Does help with making my makeup stay longer. This primer is at a good price point, might try a different type in this range next time.

Tips: Work fast with applying as it dries down pretty quicky.

Studio Photo Loving Primer - Clear

I received the clear version of this primer in the beauty vault I believe, I have never been a big primer person, so own very few and wanted to have a good, go - to primer for daily use. I believe this does the job, it feels very slippery - with a silicone texture, making your skin feel unbelievably smooth. It dries quickly - I have no complaints with this.

Great primer but didn't help with redness.

I purchased a tube of this a while ago, I chose the Studio perfect primer in Green which is supposed to conceal redness. I suffer from redness around my nose, on top of my nose and my forehead, I find it gets worse during winter time.

It comes in a clear tube, great to see how much product is left, the primer is easy to squeeze out and its best to use a small amount at a time. I squeeze out a pea size amount and apply it to my face.

In regards to concealing redness, it does not help at all, the redness is still the same after applying the primer. In saying that it is a great primer, as soon as it touches your skin, it leaves a silky like texture, it gives a smooth velvet feel to your skin and sticks to any kind of foundation you apply on top. I notice a big difference in how long my foundation lasts compared to not using this.

Overall I would repurchase this, I am already on my second tube, it is a really good inexpensive primer but it is not good if your wanting it to conceal your redness. I plan to purchase the clear one next.

Doesn't help with redness

I own the NYX Studio Photo-Loving Primer in the shade Green. I have very pale skin that can get quite pink/red around my nose and on my cheeks. It seems to get worse in Winter, so I picked up this product in the hope that it would calm the redness on my face. However I found that this made absolutely no difference to the colour of my face at all.

The packaging is made of plastic so it is easy to squeeze out all the primer, even when it's running low. This product looks quite green in the bottle, but once I started to rub it on my face it went clear. I one point I only covered half of my face with this primer, but even then I couldn't notice any difference. So if you were planning on buying this to reduce redness, I would say don't bother.

This primer feels quite thick when you squeeze it out of the tube, but it felt light once it was on my face. It's a silicone based primer. I found that I had to use a lot of this primer to be able to cover my whole face. I own multiple primers and use them all at the same rate. I purchased this primer most recently, yet it has nearly run out.

I'm not sure if this primer helped to make my makeup last longer. I did find that my nose was less oily when I used it, so that's a bonus for people with oily skin. My pores also appeared to be slightly less obvious. It provided a nice base to apply my foundation to, as my skin felt smoother and more 'even'.

Overall, this primer doesn't do much in terms of reducing redness. But it is affordable and it did seem to reduce some oiliness. I probably wouldn't purchase this primer again, because I feel like there are better alternatives out there that I haven't tried yet.

Inexpensive

This review is for the green primer, but might as well be for the clear primer as the green tint did nothing at all to help control the redness. To me, it's mostly gimmicky. With that said, I loved the primer at first, but you have to shake really well as it have a great tendency to separate. The smell is ok and the texture is fine, although a bit on the thick side after a while, when the ''watery part'' is gone first.

I would purchase this product if you were looking to test a silicone primer for the first time. It's inexpensive and it does the job. By using this as your first time silicone primer, you'll see if you like it without paying too much money, and then you'll be able to move to a more expensive one if you like this kind of primer.

I will not repurchase as I think there's better primer out there, but it was not a bad product.

Good but not Great

I purchased this primer in the green shade, hoping to help hide some of the redness my very fair skin likes to show. I'd like to say that it did this but I'm not totally convinced. The product is clearly green in the packaging, green on your fingers but once applied to your face it's as if it goes clear and it's hard to imagine it doing any colour correcting. That being said I did really enjoy this as a primer, it definitely helped my makeup stay put.

Tips: If you're looking for a high quality colour correcting concealer take a look at Make Up Forever's HD Primer collection.

Prime time NYX

I have this primer in "clear".

To be completely honest, the only reason I bought it was because I needed a primer but didn't want to pay very much. I wasn't bothered about whether or not it would work well.

However, I was pleasantly surprised! The formula feels smooth on my face - almost like velvet, and it does a pretty good job of keeping my makeup where it is supposed to be!

For the price, it is definitely worth a go!

Tips: A little goes a long way with this one! Apply sparingly and let dry before applying anything on top.

NYX Studio Photo-Loving Primer

I have the Lavender one of this. I have had this for a while. The product comes in a tube and the product itself is a purple creamy formula.

I used to use this all over my face. But to me it felt like I was rubbing nothing on my skin, the product would just vanish. Although the product isn't awesome I felt it helped with keeping my make up longer than if I didn't use a primer. I had heard alot about this and I had hoped for better. It make my skin semi -smooth in the nose area but didn't really do much anywhere else. I still use it but only to prime my eye lids as I don't fell its a strong enough primer on the whole face.

As a eye lid primer I feel it's works really well. I can fell it gliding onto my eye lid the product that I am applying over top sticks and stays on really well. I fell it makes any eye shadow pop and just makes the eye shadow look that much better.

smooth and good value

I tried the lavender one. I found it very good for the value of it. It left my skin feeling very smooth and did not leave my skin oily. My foundation stays perfectly and i hardly need to touch up. I didnt really notice too much difference in skin brightening though as that is what the lavender one claims to do. I would still use it again though.

Tips: Don't use too much, only a little bit is needed
