Beauty Product Reviews
This is the first and only primer that I use. There are a few setbacks, but overall I really like this. I really like the fact that I can use this by itself, or with foundation. Most of the time I just put this on and it gives a really nice "no-makeup" look. It evens out the texture of my skin and fills pores. I have a little bit of acne scarring and it fills them in very well. It really helps my foundation glide on evenly and overall better. This also works great as an eye primer, letting me use less shadow and it stays on longer, with out creasing or looking cakey (same goes for my foundation). I don't see a matte like effect with this primer, but since my skin is so oily, I think it helps give me a nice dewey look. I have very oily and acne prone skin and this did not break me out surprisingly. Especially with the feeling I get that I am spreading crisco on my face. Because that is what it feels like. I am light complected, so I don't get the chalky look that I have heard from other people.
Now on to the downsides. I do not like the packaging at all. I have longer fingernails and I end up with a lot of product in my nail, so I end up wasting quite a bit. If there is another way of getting this stuff out, please let me know. I do not like the greasy feeling, but it hasn't caused me to breakout, so I'm not that worried about it. Plus, as I said above, it tones down the shine and I don't have such a dull look. I also thought that the price was way too high for what product it had, but trust me when I say that a little bit goes a long way. I use this about 4 to 5 times during a given week and this primer lasted a few months. So that isn't bad at all. I really do like this primer and I will keep using it until I get the nerve to venture out and purchase another brand.
