Oily skin

I absolutely love this primer! This is amazing if you have oily to combination skin. Keeps me matte all day and stay's put.

Tips: Use your fingers to apply the primer. Found my foundation had a more flat and even coverage than if I was to use a brush.

Best Primer - MAC Primer

MAC products are good quality products. Each application of MAC primer is amazing! My skin looks better after applying this before i start my daily make up routine! I would strongly recommend to anyone!!! It's definitely worth the cost...

Tips: Ensure that your face is clean and dry before applying your primer!

Holy Grail!

Why oh why did I not get this sooner?!!

I don't have much experience with primers but this is just fantastic!

First of all, the packaging is lovely. A sleek black cylinder with a pull off cap & a pump for getting the product out. Only draw back is you cannot see how much is in it. The Black has a slight sparkle to it too.. it's pretty!

The product is a cream, smooth & silky and a little goes a long way. I fine 1 & 1/2 pumps does my whole face & jaw line.

It has a slight shimmer when on the skin which apparently is a light deflector or something along those lines... It's nice anyway.

My skin looks dewy without being sticky with it on by it's self.

Foundation application is easier. It's almost grippy & hold the foundation well.

I have found it's not slipping off by the end of the day & I'm not as oily as I used to be.

Primer novice

Let me begin by saying my experience with primer is that its the coat you do before painting a house, and is not to be used on the face. I have an old flatmate who is a primer fan and when I headed to Australia for the first time back in February for a dance event I suddenly got worried about my face falling off during the combo of excessive heat, humidity and dancing. So I stopped at MAC in duty free and 'accidentally' purchased a primer, plus a wee sample pot of BB cream. It pumps out of the bottle in a nice consistency, the packaging is small enough and designed so you can add it to your existing makeup bag rather easily. It spreads on smoothly (with fingers of course) and seems pretty novice proof. My foundation (covergirl or mac or anything else) seems to all stick to it very nicely and I've had no issues

Tips: Take the plunge, get a primer, and suddenly your face goop actually stays where you want it to!

Silky skin.

This was the very first primer I used and while it is expensive it is definitely worth it.

It comes in a black cylindrical container and contains 30mls; one problem with this type of container is you are unable to see how much is left however the pump dispenser allows you to control how much you want out and has the added bonus of being hygienic I typically need between 1-1/2 pumps to do my entire face.

The primer feels rather silky I suppose a bit like silicone. It has a slight shimmer to it which adds a subtle luminescence to the skin without looking like you have rubbed glitter all over your face. It guides/absorbs into my skin well and It makes my make up look fantastic and last all day.

Locked in radiance

Very lightweight formula which completely evens out skin tone and any redness you may have, all the while adding radiance and a glow to the skin. One of the best primers I have ever used, a really good base to any good lasting makeup look. This is a primer one should always have as a staple go to for a primer, it really does its job of prepping and priming with the added benefit of radiance. Makes ones skin look healthy and bright.

Tips: Nice just used after moisturised face after a shower for a no makeup day. Makes skin look bright and radiant!

Light glow and soft skin!

I have pretty regular/dry skin and this primer make my skin so soft and ready for foundation application! Will definitely repurchase.

Tips: It does have a few sparkles in the mix, so if you're very sensitive maybe try a different primer.
