Ive received this product a few times in beauty subscription boxes. From using it the first time I began to love it. It is on the more expensive side and I’ve not purchased a full size of it YET! This primer is a creamy texture. It really helps my dry skin, putting much needed hydration back into my skin. It doesn’t leave you with tacky skin after applying it. It leaves my skin feeling soft ready for foundation application. It really does create a good starting base ready for makeup. I really would recommend it and it may be something I repurchase in the future.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with sensitive, olive tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is light brown, dry with normal texture.
It keeps your foundation on so good, it doesn't feel to thick on my skin but covers my pores perfectly, it keeps my skin matte and is all round a perfect primer. I have fairly oily skin and problem prone skin so foundation slides of my face really easily but this primer keeps it on all day

I am in my late teens/early 20's with acne/problem, light tone skin and brown eyes. My hair is medium brown, normal with normal texture.
I love this primer. It feels so silky on your skin and does a great job of covering pores and fine lines ready for foundation. I use it with Bare minerals power foundation but also my other brands of liquid foundations and I love it with all of them. My skin is quite normal so I don't really have a problem with makeup sliding off or becoming dry as the day goes on.

I like this primer although I have only had it for a month and I have found that it blends out chunky on my skin and makes my foundation look uneven. This may just be my product but this have put me off buying it again.

Have mixed feelings with this primer. Initially it goes on like a dream and is a great base for your makeup routine BUT I don't feel it has the same longevity that other primers do such as porefessional or even rimmel matte primer. I would buy again for personally use but not professionally

I have cheaper primers that I much prefer to this. I don't find that this helps my foundation lock in place, especially over my t-zone. It just feels slippery when I put it on my face and im really not keen. I imagine that it would work well for very dry skin types.

Great! This primer keeps my makeup on all day. You only need a pea size amount so lasts a very long time. The only thing I do not like is that it feels very oily when you apply it, so I can never really tell whether it has gone all over my face or absorbed in. But if you like very silky primers this is good for you

I really like this primer, I found that once I started using it regularly it really helped my skin look and feel better even without make up. My mum used mines once and is now obsessed with it too!
