NYX Studio Photo-Loving Primer

I bought this product after being dissatisfied with the effects of other water-based primers I'd previously used. I chose the redness reducing primer as I have some post-acne redness in my cheeks. I found that this primer had minimal colour correcting effects, but it did work wonderfully at keeping my foundation looking perfect all day. I have dry skin, and find my foundation can sometimes look patchy, but with the help of this product it didn't. I put it on at 7:30am and it still looked good at 9pm, after a day of work and a fast paced jazz dance class. I'd recommend this to a friend, it works well and is so affordable. Only downfall is not being available in NZ stores but according to their Facebook page that might be changing this year!

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.

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.

I purchased the green (anti-redness) primer from this line but found it didn't do much for me. It didn't reduce my redness much at all and felt rather heavy and greasy on my face. It did create a smooth surface for my foundation and it did look flawless but I didn't like the feeling and it caused me to breakout so will probably give it to a friend to try and will not be repurchasing.

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.

I trialed this second hand as a friend had it but didnt like it. She found it too greasy on her skin. I did find it a bit heavy on my skin, but it did give great base coverage and evened out my skin tone and blemishes. My foundation looked great on top of it too. Pretty good price too, and not a bad product but there are better primers on the market.

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.

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.

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!

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.
