Better than pricey Benefit, 5 Jun. 2015

A fantastic primer. I used to use Benefit's POREfessional primer and this offers a wonderful budget alternative. The primer feels silky when applied and makes pores invisible. When combined with E.L.F's makeup setting spray, expect all day wear which doesn't slip. Would highly recommend.

Good but needs pairing with the right foundation, 8 Jun. 2017

I have mixed feeling with this primer. I have moderately oily acne prone skin, but still want my skin to look bright and healthy. This goes on nicely, and smooths without feeling greasy. It does help dull down my red marks and patches, but really think it's overall effect is very dependant which foundation it's paired with. My slightly dewier foundations look good with it and seem to last well, but anything mattifying can get very drying with this and can end up looking a little patchy after a few hours. I tend to put my makeup on early in the morning and have long working days it has to survive through. This has helped some foundations last really well but as I say it's a bit hit and miss!

I really like this primer, 15 Sept. 2017

I really like this primer. It's silky smooth, feels so good to apply. I don't feel like it makes a huge difference to the appearance of my skin alone (hence the 4* instead of 5*), but it does make the application of foundation much nicer, and I feel like it goes on more smoothly. (I use Maybelline Fit Me foundation, applied with a Real Techniques sponge). I have oily skin, and I do think this helps to reduce the oily zones throughout the day. Coupled with the e.l.f. powder, my make-up stays all day. It also helps reduce under-eye creasing.I also think this primer helps reduce the amount of make-up my glasses rub off, particularly in hot weather. I've been using it for about a month now, and it's definitely my favourite primer. I'm not sure how much is left in the bottle, but when they say you need a pea-sized amount, you literally do with this product. I imagine it will last a while!
