Beauty Product Reviews
just don't look in a mirror close up.. disappointed 😥
this foundation confuses me. so I've used hundreds of foundations. I apply w/a brush or sponge, depending on the product. when I 1st tried to apply this I used a Sigma face brush and the hourglass serum primer, which is my go to. it looked awful. im not sure how to explain it, but it might have well have painted my pores bright red because every single pore was even more visible than without makeup on. this emphasized every single imperfection and my skin is pretty good. I thought it had to be me or the primer maybe? tried again w/water based primer instead, was worse. no matter what primer I tried, BB or brush, it looked awful up close. patchy and looked like I pinned circles into my whole face that's how obviously it painted my pores. Im so disappointed!!! I had such hope and was so excited to try a Tom Ford product 😔 I saw some other reviews try to explain this same thing. from far away it looks filtered but from anywhere nearby it's unwearable
be gentle with it
great at first, light so it's great to apply your makeup with. but the handle started getting loose within a week or 2 of receiving it and then it cracked off completely. I'm not rough with it im careful of course so I'd be careful of that.
THE KING PRIMER OF ALL PRIMERS
I have a LOT of primers. I've tried A LOT of primers. 95% of those available I'd estimate, truly** this is THE BEST primer/face base I've ever tried or had. I used to mix primers for dif reasons, for ex I'd use a pump of milk hydrogrip, a pump of a moisturizing primer and a pump of a smoothing primer. this does ALL of everything. my face doesn't get dry patches anymore after hrs of foundation and heavy makeup. makeup grips to this oil and lasts forever. it fills in my awful giant pores and smooths my whole face like a filter!!! you only need apply a small amt altho I tend to over do it because I love the texture so much. it melts right into skin, your skin won't stay oily or slippery. just make sure you let it absorb /set into skim before applying foundation.
