Average performance and expensive to boot.

This is a pink coloured primer with a mousse texture. It doesn't have fragrance but has an underlying smell of rubbery chemicals, which is faint.

With this primer, I needed a lot (like 2 pea-sized amounts) to cover my entire face. It spreads smoothly, but it tends to "absorb" into parts of your face before you have a chance to spread it all over.

It leaves the skin feeling very smooth and silicone-y but doesn't really fill in pores or help with uneven texture. Also, it has no colour-correcting properties.

This is my experience and I won't repurchase because of how expensive it is and how much I needed for one full application.

Dried my skin

I feel like this dried my skin quite a bit. It made my makeup application very complicated and overall patchy. Maybe I'm not using it right. The consistency of the primer is however, quite thick and not really what I'm used to. But overall, made applying makeup harder than not using the product. Certainly did not work on my skin!

Not my fav

Jeeez this little jar was expensive and I hardy use it! It does slightly minimize pores but it sucked all the moisture out of my skin like a leach! I only ever reach for this if I'm having a good skin day and I only use a TINY amount on my pores around my nose where I'm not so dry. I would defs not recommend, there are other amazing pore minimizes out there for cheaper and that work amazing!

Like silk

This is one of the best primers I've used. The product is quite thick compared to others, but it smooths out to a velvet mousse that fills all your imperfections. No interference with foundation, but has a tendency to rub into tiny clumps if too cold.

Tips: Warm it up with a hair dryer if it's a cold day - you'll avoid clumps!

Pore filling and velvety smooth

I have been wanting to try this for a long time. I was lucky enough to have a lovely lady send this to me.

The first thing I need to note is a little goes a long way. And the packaging is tastefull and fuss free.

I dont apply this all over my face but I use it on the fine lines under my eyes and over my nose and cheeks and on some scarring on my chin.

Now this thing reminds me of MagiX by avon. It smooths my fine lines, fills in my pores like a boss so they look non existant and my "crater" scars are dramatically reduced.

It glides on like a dream and my skin feels velvety and perfected after I use it. The "perfected" parts of my skin did not change after applying concealer and foundation but it did not increase the longevity of my make up nor did it alter it. All in all this is an amazing product and I will continue to reuse and repurchase it

Flawless skin

The primer pottle comes in a simple black and white box, that seems rather basic, considering the high price of the product. The primer itself comes in a teeny transparent bottle with a black lid, and it looks quite adorable. The primer is a pretty pale pink in colour and feels very velvety and thick. The primer is quite thick and difficult to spread, even when following the instructions on the box to rub the texture between the fingers to help spread it. The primer does what it says on the box, it helped improve the overall appearance of my skin, blurred away my imperfection and gave it an overall smoother appearance. It also helped my foundation to glide on a lot easier. This didn't make my foundation last any longer than normal, which is something I look for in a primer. I find that there is a very small amount of product in the pottle for the price, as I need quite a lot to cover my face and I feel like this would run out very quickly. Although I do like the primer, I probably would not repurchase it as it is very expensive and I have found other primers for half the price work just as well as this one.

L'Oreal Base Magique

I am a primer buff and I am always on the lookout for a new one to try.

It comes in a cute little pot, clear glass and black plastic lid.

I use my fingers to apply after my serum and daily mooisturiser. I warm it with my finger tips and it spreads easily.

I love the look of my skin after this application. It is smooth and flawless, just amazing!

My foundation goes on easily and smoothly and looks like a professional has applied it.

I am more than happy with this little pot of primer, a little goes a long way, however it is a bit pricey.

Delighted

I’m so happy I stumbled across this product, even though it cost me nearly $40, it was worth it! It’s not a huge pot, but if you are using it nice and sparingly it can last you a long time, and you don’t need heaps to apply in order to get awesome results. I found that after using this product as a base first my finished makeup results were smoother and longer lasting. I’ll definitely be using this product again!

A Great Primer

I find this to be a great primer. It can be a little difficult to apply so find it definitely pays to gently press it between your fingers first and then apply to the face. I apply extra to the areas that need it more (under eyes and above lip). My makeup then glides over the surface of my face. This definitely makes my makeup last longer and is a product I will continue to use.

Tips: Squish between fingers before applying to face.

Great

I really like this primer. A great product that smooths out my complexion before foundation. Which goes on effortlessly and stays on. I like this product so much and I'll.be buying it again.
