I liked this product mainly for the fact of the nice smooth skin feeling it gave my face after using. In saying that, you don't get much in a tube so I scrimped on using it to get my moneys worth. For my skin type it seemed fine with the Maybelline foundation I used with it - but like all my makeup, doesn't seem to stay on my face without touchups.

This gives a siliconey silken feel to the skin when applied (Like Garnier perfect blur), so applying makeup on top it will make the foundation/concealer move around and not last very long. On the other hand it hides pores and has a blur effect on the skin. So it kind of makes the skin looks better by itself. I also think it is kind of hard to remove and even though they say it is non-comedogenic, I find myself getting small breakouts after using this. I will not be buying this again as the one I have is not even finished halfway and I had it for a ..while.
This product and I have a love/hate relationship... So where to begin, I picked this up on sale to give it a try. Instantly I knew from the consistency of the product it wasn’t going to work for me, it is greasy and a tad thick so isn’t going to be great on oily skin but I worked with it. Then I tried to apply foundation on top of that... it went downhill from there. I guess if you had dryer skin it could work a little better for you. I give it a 3 because I must say on the dry parts of my face my makeup did apply a lot nicer (around my mouth and under eye). Did it erase pores like it said it would??? Hmmm somewhat yes. Over the colder months I have been using a small bit of this and my porefessional primer and a little light coverage matte foundation for the days I don’t want to wear a full face.
Tips: I use in combination with either my Porefessional or any other matte primer. Works well on dry parts of the skin
Picked this up on sale (like I always do when I want to try something!) after reading many reviews and articles praising it. I’ve got combo skin and I just think it’s too greasy for my type. Don’t really think it does anything for pores it’s just a standard primer really. Feels too think and oily when applying for my taste and makeup doesn’t really stay put.
I found this primer never set down on my skin, so it felt oily/greasy. Meaning the make up slid around more than without it, so would not recommend unless you need to add moisture to your skin.
This products feels lovely and silky smooth on the skin, it's easy to use and you just apply it with your fingers. This didn't erase my pores and my foundation seemed to slip around and not sit right on my skin (combination/Oily) I did find a way to get help my foundation stay on better but still this product isn't for me.
Tips: I found applying it with my fingers first and then pressing the primer into my skin with a dry or dampened beauty blender helped my foundation stay on a little better.
I don't usually use a primer, because I like to keep my routine as simple as possible. But recently I have felt my dry skin looking dull and just dry. I really wanted something to give me a fresh and more youthful appearance. I have also notived pores around my nose looking particularly prominent.
Well this is a lovely product that has certainly made me happy! It certainly blurrs and reduces pores. It feels silky smooth and even fills in my forehead lines quite a bit. On its own (over moisturiser_ - it just adds a youthful plumpness to my skin. And under makeup, it is a smooth base. I also find it makes my skin feel more hydrated. It prolongs my foundation, especially around my dry nose patches.
Overall I am very pleased with this product. And the price is great too!
Tips: apply with clean fingers over moisturiser
This primer wasn't bad but it definitely wasn't my favourite either. It did blur my pores as it says it does but it feels like silicone. I have quite dry skin so it definitely helped my foundation not cling to dry patches but I found it wore off around my nose towards the end of the day. The packaging is very basic but thats what you would expect with its reasonably low price but i felt the product didn't want to come out so i'd have to squeeze it more only for heaps to come out! :/
Tips: I think this primer would be good for someone just starting out in make up, or maybe as a cheap alternative to have around when you don't want to waste a more expensive primer on a day when you're not doing too much.
I tried this after hearing a few good reviews from friends and YouTube. I hated the way it made my skin look :( I tried it with different foundations but always ended up with same result, it just wasn’t for my skin.
This primer does have a lovely consistency and texture. It's smooth and light, does not feel heavy on the skin and isn't oily. It creates a smooth canvas on which to apply your foundation. My only gripe is that as time passes, it causes my makeup to separate. I find better hold on my foundation without using this primer.
Tips: A little goes a long way...
