If you have really oily skin, this primer may be something that works for you. This primer gives your skin a matte look as well as smooths out those pores, and gives your makeup that longevity boost! However, if your skin is combination to dry, this primer will likely be too drying.

To all my oily skin ladies, this primer is seriously for you. I pretty much have tried every oil control primer that is out on the market. This is the only primer that I've tried that has kept me matte the longest. I have VERY oily skin so, I still get a little shiny throughout the day but this primer does a really good job at helping me not look super greasy by the end of the day. I like to apply this primer over my foundation. I tried using it under my foundation & it didn't work out so good doing it that way. I only apply it on my t-zone. You have to rub it in your fingers & then pat it onto the skin. A little bit goes a long way so, this product will last you.

I have been searching for a primer that works well with my t-zone shine, and random, patchy dryness. I am so happy I decided to bite the bullet and buy this expensive primer, because it is by far, the most superior product I have EVER used to prime my face.

I was only able to scoop up the travel size because the full size was sold out at Sephora, so for $18 (CAD), you get 12ml/0.40 fl.oz. The packaging describes it as "a liquid blotting paper" to leave skin matte for up to 12 hours, and it is not a lie. Every single time I have used this, my problem skin has looked flawless.

I wouldn't describe this as the type of primer that you'd want to use all over your face, so before using, I suggest making sure your face is well moisturized and/or primed with something hydrating. Then, I usually dispense a pea sized amount on the back of my hand. You can use more or less depending on the space you need to prime. I then dot it onto the parts of my face with large pores, and all areas I tend to get greasy. I will then use my fingertips to pat the product in until it feels tacky. This is when I feel my foundation goes on the best, and also ensures the product is dry.

I feel like my foundation glides on so much smoother, and lasts longer.

Overall, the packaging is just normal. Nothing fancy. The scent of the product is kind of just like a scent-free moisturizer, and the colour is a translucent off-white.

After trying almost every primer on the market, this is my HOLY GRAIL! This primer hides all pores and imperfections without settling into my lines. It is hands down the best primer I have ever used and is decently priced compared to many of the other high end primers out there. It makes makeup look flawless and stays all day.
