This is probably the eighth time buying this primer and it's amazing!! I always always read the reviews on how good or bad a product is and then I buy it if it sounds promising, but let's face it one product may work wonders for someone and totally fail for someone else. However, this primer is honestly amazing for me! I'm in my mid 40's with combo skin, bigger pores and not to mention aging skin. Yes, I need all the help I can get. Now the product is a thicker primer, but not too thick and easy to apply. I do find it best after applying primer if I wait 5 to 10 before I apply my foundation. I work in a hotter environment and yes I sweat, but my foundation is still on at the end of the day! Sure by the end of the day my foundation and blush isn't as radiant as when I first put it on, but my foundation fades nicely ( if that makes any sense) and looks nice. With other primers I've used I look and feel so greasy I want to rush into the bathroom and wash my face cause my foundation looks so horrible, but not with this primer my makeup still looks nice! The only downside is the size. I do wear makeup every day so usually I can make this primer last 2 months. I hope this review was helpful.

I'm not sure this is the miracle product I'd hoped for based on some of the reviews, but I do like it, and I'd say it's definitely helpful. From the jar, it's a pale pink cream, but as you spread it on your skin it begins to dry quickly and has a light powdery texture. You have to work quickly because it dries almost as you apply it and once it's dry it's less spreadable. I found that I got the best results by being patient and working with very small amounts rather than dabbing on a large amount and trying to spread and blend it. If I applied too heavily it would begin to clump and brush off. I also found that putting it on very thin and light, and then reapplying another thin layer or two gave me better results. It seems to work better on very fine lines and I think that's because the powdery product fills the creases in your skin which would be harder to do on deeper creases. It feels very soft on your skin and doesn't have a noticeable scent. It doesn't look oily or shiny, but also doesn't look dry and cakey. It just has a nice, soft matte finish. I thought it was a little pricey for a half ounce jar, but a little seems to go a long way. If it lasts a while I'll be okay with the cost.

Every time I put this on I feel like I'm rubbing putty on my face. Was hard to get used to but after I saw that my foundation stays on all day and looks great up until I remove it before bedtime, I'd have to say GREAT PRODUCT! A while back I asked my friend, who applies bridal makeup, for a living why my foundation looked dull and almost gone. She said "you have to just reapply it ". I thought I can't be bothered. Why can't I find something that'll make my foundation look just as good from morning till night. I FOUND IT. I've tried other primers...expensive ones (a lot of $$ doesn't equal a great product), spray ones (couldn't get used to spraying my face. How do I know it was going all over my face. My eyes were shut 🤦🏽‍♀️!), liquidy ones (it seemed my foundation was slip sliding away by mid-afternoon). I wanted to look good all day long. I also tried setting powder all over my face. That showed up every crease and line it could uncover. Plus I didn't have that "healthy glow" which I think that's what my foundation gives me. Why do I want to cover it up ? I do not however put this under my eyes. As I said it goes on like putty. I don't want to pull my delicate skin under there and cause damage becuz it is so thick. You aren't suppose to rub there anyway. Therefore I apply NYX by lightly dabbing with my ring finger. I have to put primer there or I'll have raccoon eyes!!😳 after my foundation I lightly dot Cover FX and my mascara stays on my lashes. Very very good product. Don't get discouraged becuz it is so thick. Found what I've been searching for, therefore, will order it again.

This is an okay product, but how is this 37.00!!! I'm laughing out loud. 3 years ago it cost 10.00

This is the best! I have been using it for a few years. My only complaint is that it’s expensive for a primer. This makes no foundation possible. It evens out my skin and has a nice finish.

I love this primer, it’s very smoothing and blurring. Doesn’t make my face oily and it only takes a tiny amount. It really just makes my face feel good and smooth. Foundation applies so easily over it and my makeup lasts all day long! I like that it’s fragrance free, also. A little goes a long way and this little glass jar will last a very long time! I will continue to reorder as long as it’s being sold!

Definitely the best primer i hav ever used .

Fab product, must try.

Yes I like this product. It works like magic for a face primer, and feels great. Not too thick or like some are so thin they don't do anything. Will buy this one again

This is brilliant stuff - covers large pores instantly to give a great base for foundation or just face powder.

Une toute petite quantité mais la qualité est quand même présente. La texture est très fondante et inutile de mettre beaucoup de produit pour l'etaler sur le visage. Longue tenue pour le maquillage et le résultat est là...la peau est lissée sans problème et l'application est très simple. Je recommande
