I did not enjoy this product at all.
I have quite pale skin so the orangey/salmon colour did not work well for me at all! It was super noticeable once applied which wasn't good at all.
May work for people with darker skin but for me it was a no-go.

This was my first ever primer that i bought, i have quite large pores so a primer is a MUST! When i applied the primer it kind of stuck in my pores and the product is orange so it didnt look overly great. Its average, didnt completly smooth out my skin or minimise pores overly well. I found my skin to still be quite oily and i didnt really notice my foundation stayed much longer than without primer.
Definitely didn't like this primer as much as I thought I would. I found that it didn't really prime my skin and my foundation looked as though I hadn't primed either as it went oily and yuck looking quite soon after applying it over this primer. I didn't really like the fact it was tinted as the colour moved around a bit, and it also did nothing to cover my pores which is one of its main selling points. I suppose it would be decent for people with drier skin who have barely any pores, but I probably wouldn't recommend it.
I've used this several times since I purchased it and to be quite honest, it doesn't do much for my skin.
The packaging is very Rimmel-esque, in that it's very basic and looks like something that is sold at K-Mart or The Warehouse. It comes in a squeezy tube, so to me it is quite practical as you can squeeze out the product to the last drop.
As for the product itself, it has a slight tint to it, which didn't bother me at all since I am quite dark skinned. The texture is very creamy and it does melt in to the skin nicely. I must admit for a 'drugstore' primer, it did leave my skin baby-soft. The real downfall of this product, is that it did absolutely nothing for the longevity of my foundation. So as of now, I have mixed reviews on this primer I actually prefer to just use moisturiser.
If you're after a primer that will leave your skin feeling super soft then this is the one to go for. However, it will do nothing to keep your foundation in place all day, and you will need to powder a lot throughout the day.

I bought this product on a whim- I wanted something else which wasn't in stock, and picked this up because it was there. The first time I opened it was a shock- it's very orange. And as a person with practically transparent skin that was daunting. However, as long as it's well blended, it doesn't add any color to your skin. I didn't find that my pores were smaller, but my foundation definitely lasted longer.
This isn't a very good primer, but being only $20 it wasn't too much of a shock. It doesn't really smooth out the skin to a point where it makes the foundation look any better, it doesn't reduce the appearance of pores like it says it does either. It does prolong the wear of foundation though so if that's what you're looking for then this would be fine. The orange colour of the product is a bit off putting as well, it doesn't come off too strong on the skin, but it does give an orange tinge to the skin. Once the foundation is over it though, that does go away. Over all, i wouldn't recommend this product to anyone.
Tips: If you do purchase this product, do make sure to blend it well into the skin and give it a moment or two to set in.
I'm not in love with this, nor do I hate it but for some reason I cant quite justify the point of it though I really do want to try the 002 as I have the 001 and its seems to be more like a tinted moisturizer, i don't see much difference after i've applied my foundation over it either. it doesn't minimize my pores :( I am very light skinned too with quite a few freckles so was kind of a weird colour for my skin. For the price, can't expect too much from it. Ohwell, atleast I tried it :)
Tips: Use fingers to apply to warm it up and blend it in more. I found it didnt really help when i used my brushes, made it look even worse on my face.
I got this product super cheap off Asos and so for the price I bought it for I cannot really complain. But I found this product far too orange for me even though I don't consider myself very pale and I found that my foundation actually rubbed/came off much quicker. It did also cling to the dry patches of my skin making me look very patchy, but it did feel very smooth on the other parts of my face.
Tips: Possibly not the best for very pale skin as it is quite orange
I decided to try this as a cheaper alternative to my usual primer, but have to say I was disappointed.
Although this is described as smoothing out the skin and minimising pores, I would use it purely to prolong the wear of my foundation, and even then I would use it sparingly. I find it has an orange tinge to it, so you have to really rub it in before you put your foundation on. If you use too much (which is easy to do as it come pouring out of the tube) it can make your skin look shiny and actually made my mascara smear as soon as I got hot.
It is good enough if you are on a budget, but just does not stand up to the others I have used, and I would much prefer to spend a bit more and have better results.
Tips: Use sparingly and dab on t-zone only.
I got this because I had run out of my ELF mineralized and I needed one for the ball. Did nothing for my skin, and I hated the feeling it left, almost tacky.I was scared when I saw it was a pinky-orange colour, but thankfully it doesnt tint my skin at all. I just didnt like it at all, will not rebuy.
