Favourite primer

I tried many primers maybelline, revlon, makeup forever, even the Smashbox photo finish (the clear one) but I found I don't like the silicone based ones since they can be too slippery which on me do not make my foundation last as well. This primer is amazing! I have enlarged pores on my nose and my ...

Not Great

I wanted so much to love this product and hoped it would do what it said - it didn't. A total fail for me. I found the consistency way too thick and it applied very streaky and kind of clumpy. It left a white residue on skin and while it does sink into the pores, you can see it through foundation...

Awful

To be fair, I did not mean to buy this. I thought I'd purchased the original photo finish primer, which I love. But, figure I'd give it a try. It is such a strange consistency for a primer. It's cakey and does not melt into the skin..it just kinda rolls around, streaky and spotty. I guess..different skin types..I don't know. Maybe good for really oily skin. But even then, I won't understand how more people don't have trouble with it.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

I bought two large tubes which were sealed and when I opened one to use, it has a funny unpleasant smell to it. It was NEVER like that.

Wasn't working for me. It went on smooth but then once dried was left behind clumpy. I tried so many different ways of how to apply it and it did the same thing every time.

This is now my go-to face primer - it not only blurs pores but controls shine and gives a lovely matte canvas before applying powder. 5 enthusiastic stars from me! Would definitely re-buy.

Does the job

I bought this a few months ago when I was completing a make up course. I love the satin feeling finish of the product on the skin. A little goes a long way for sure. Works well under foundation or on it's own. There is a bit of a tint to it so I'm not sure if it will work for all complexions.

The best pore filling primer on the market

Submitted 7 years ago

By sandrunia

From Ajax

Verified Buyer

This primer is one I have repurchased over and over again, simply because it's the best I have found (and I've tried many) for oily textured skin. It's the only one that fills the pores, mattifies and lasts all day. The texture is thick, so the trick of working with it is to press it into the textured parts of your face, because smoothing it over certain moisturizers may cause it to ball-up and slide off. However, once you learn to work with it, you'll never look back. I have enlarged pores in my T-zone and this product gives me the closest thing to a smooth poreless complexion I have had since puberty.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
