I struggle with t zone problems and dry skin elsewhere. I love this primer so much. I use it almost everyday with no problems. It evens out my skin and sets a great surface for me to apply my foundation. Definitely give yourself time in the morning to apply this because it needs to dry a bit before applying your foundation. It makes such a smooth finish! Almost airbrushed, which I love. The price is more than other products but you really do pay for quality. I absolutely love this brand. Fully recommend.

Love this so much!
Tips: Use a small amount all over your face. Make sure it dries a bit before adding your foundation.

Doesn’t work with my oily skin
To be honest, I love this in winter but in summer it is a disaster. The formulation is beautiful, doesn’t feel siliconey (is that a word?) and just sit beautifully over my moisturiser!! But in summer, EVERYTHING just falls off my face !! Makeup starts separating etc. it’s good to use a water based primer with a water based product or vice versa which I did, but still no luck !! I would recommend but just not for oily skin.

A Daily Favourite!
Best primer I have ever used for longwear at big events or for long work days.
A beautiful smooth, velvet feeling formula. Has a small hint of blue in the undertone that helps colour correct the skin - it's almost not noticeable unless you pay close attention before applying foundation over top!
Helps soften the appearance of pores, fine lines and smooths the skin creating a more flawless base before applying makeup.
Tips: I love the concentrate this through my Tzone area to create a longwear effect that will help smooth larger pores on my nose and chin. That way you're not wasting product all over the face on areas where makeup doesn't wear off quickly anyway.

Like velvet!
I love this primer, it really does what it says and extends the life of my foundation. I love the silky feel and you don’t need a lot, which is good because it is expensive.
Tips: Sephora sells the mini size - try it, you’ll love it!

I've been using this primer for over a year now and would easily rate it one of the best I've tried (and there are plenty!). The texture of your skin after applying this is silky smooth and it helps your foundation to sit lightly without caking. I usually use all day foundations, so I'm not sure if this helps with the foundation sitting nicely all day or not, but it certainly stops the cakiness that you sometimes get later in the day.
Tips: Give yourself plenty of time to apply this and dry before your foundation goes on.
