Client Product - I wouldn’t buy this product again for myself as I don’t like my skin to have a Matt finish and I don’t need a Matt primer. This primer was smooth and had a nice feel to the skin although it is really Matt. I would buy this product again to try on a client who has oily skin, needs or would like larger pores filled, or would like a Matt finish to the skin

I am in my late teens/early 20's with combination, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
Lovely texture and does help to blur my pores around my nose and chin, some products which claim to be pore blurring actually aren’t but this one genuinely does work, I’d definitely recommend to anyone with combination/oily skin, it sits lovely on your skin, it isn’t too heavy and it also helps to keep makeup in place as well as blur the pores and imperfections

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with combination, fair tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
This is my absolute favourite primer, I won’t use any other! It really smoothed my skin, visibly reduces the appearance of my pores, and makes my makeup last all day!

I am in my mid 20's with combination, light tone skin and brown eyes. My hair is blonde, oily with normal texture.
This primer is my fave and one I always use, I have quite open pores and it’s amazing how much it minimises my pores before I apply my foundation. Also the silky feel of it is so luxurious and it’s a primer which you can make last for a long time as you don’t need to apply loads when putting it on.

This was the first primer I’d ever used a few years ago and convinced me that yes primers are essential!! Used before my foundation it definitely blurred my pores and wrinkles, made my foundation application even smoother and last longer. It’s a pinky nude colour so you could wear it on its own too just to have a natural finish to your skin if you don’t want to apply foundation. It suits all skin tones and doesn’t leave a white cast on your face like some primers do! Fab product!

I am in my mid 50's with mature, fair tone skin and green eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
This is a Holy grail for me, I always like to try new primers and still always come back to this one!! It covers my pores and lines on my forehead giving me a lovely base for my makeup. I love the way it makes my skin look so smooth and feel so soft!! I have quite sensitive skin along with combination skin so it’s hard for me to find products that suit my skin without breaking me out and I’ve never had any problems with this!! The only thing I will say is it’s quite Matte so if I’m looking for an extra glow I will only apply this to my T-zone and apply a more illuminating primet to the outside of my face.

I am in my late 20's/early 30's with sensitive, light tone skin and blue eyes. My hair is blonde, processed with normal texture.
This is a fab primer and does it exactly what it says on the tin, gave me a beautiful base to apply my make up which sat beautifully on it, really reduced the lines, especially on my forehead, and really reduced the appearance of my pores, but the scent of this gave me the worst headache. Tried several times, each time the same result, so for that reason, it's not a primer I would personally use again, such a shame as it's a great primer and I would highly recommend if unlike me you are not sensitive to overly scented products.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with combination, light tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is medium brown, normal with normal texture.
So this primer is great if it’s the only thing I’m putting on my face, before my make up. It’s very very silicony but I like how it does hide every single pore. My problem is that when I wanted to wear my SPF moisturiser underneath it, it pilled and would not stick to my skin. I don’t think I’ll buy it again as the maybelline master primer is incredibly similar to this benefit one.

I am in my mid 20's with acne/problem, light tone skin and green eyes. My hair is medium brown, oily with normal texture.
The packaging of this product looks quite vintage which I really like. Price point wise is its expensive. This primer is a silicone based primer which I really enjoy using, these are my favourite sorts of primers to use. The colour of it is a skin colour. It’s quite a thick consistency however it seeps into your skin very quickly. It’s got a really lovely scent to it. It leaves my skin feeling tacky ready for makeup application. It does really help when applying my base makeup and it staying in place. I’ve already re-purchased this & would definitely recommend it.

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.
I adore this primer, it works perfectly with my skin and every foundation I’ve tried with it so far. I’ve tried every pore filling primer you can think off and this is definitely in my top 5, definitely minimises my pores and makes my foundation look smooth and flawless. Only downside is the price, I’ve used some drug store primers (revolution ones are a good dupe) that are just as good for half the price.
