    This is a really nice primer. Its not greasy and a little bit is all you need. The only thing I don;t like is the packaging. I don't like having to always put my finger into the little jar.

    A little definatly goes a long way. I was hoping this would hide the fine lines around my eyes but it didn't. It did however make my pores virtually invisible. I would reccomend this to anyone wanting to hide pores, but don't excpect a miracle in the way of fine lines as it does nothing for that. :)

    I have been using this product since it was first introduced and love it! Only a little bit is needed which is good since it does come in a fairly small jar. There is no scent and the cream is light. Ensure that you do not apply too much as a little goes a long way. It goes well by itself, under foundation and powder. It's the most effective primer I've used.

    This is the very first primer that I bought. At the time, I thought it was okay (quite thick but covered my pores well), but wanted to try other brands. After numerous other samples, nothing has beat this product. It is on my list to repurchase!

    Bought this because i wanted to try a budgeted primer. It really does work, but on certain areas it felt a little thick. I bought it maybe 3 months ago? and I still have half a pot of it. I guess a little goes along way.

    Tried this as a sample and very quickly bought the full size. I was surprised at how well the product worked, my makeup lasts much longer and no makeup creases in laugh lines!

    To start off: I have combination, oily, acne-prone skin with hyperpigmentations

    What the product claims:
    L'Oréal Paris Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer gives a velvet touch,the new primer from L'Oréal is a must-have if you want flawless skin.The primer smoothes, mattifies and refines the texture and tone of skin using high-tech, lightweight ingredients, such as elastomers and silicone oil. Soft, ultra fine powders also leave your skin silky and iridescent.

    L'Oréal make-up artist James Kaliardos has this tip for gorgeous skin, 'Apply the Smoothing Resurfacing Primer on the shadowy areas, like the lower contour of the eye, and on the least smooth areas, such as the forehead, the sides of the nostrils and around the mouth, to stop lipstick from running.'

    I have used several primers in the past - including mac prep and prime, smashbox, monistat but after using this new loreal one, this is my keeper primer! I love it because it does not irritate my skin and it makes my skin look flawless without feeling like a heavy primer on my face. It covers flawlessly, covers my big pores and leaves a soft feeling to my skin - it feel like velvet and the feeling lasts throughout the day. I use MUFE matt velvet plus foundation over this primer, and my skin looks great and flawless. Another thing is, it keeps my oil at bay - less mattifying throughout the day.

    It is important that you moisturize your skin first and then apply a small amount of the primer in circular motions. You do not need to use a lot - less is more, however one down side of this product is you have to use finger to get the product out.

    Here's the ingredient list:
    cyclohexasiloxane, dimethicone, dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, silica, acrylates copolymer, disodium stearoyl glutamate, aluminum hydroxide { /- may contain CI 77891/ titanium dioxide/ CI 77491/ iron oxides} FIL D30587/2

    By far the best drugstore primer. Ever. I found this to be even better than MUFE primer, and a good competitor for the famous Smashbox primers. I initially tried this on my mom, and found it to dramatically improve the appearance of her skin. Then I thought, what the heck, I should try it. And I did. And I was not disappointed! Amazing product. I'm still pinching myself, can't believe it came off the drugstore shelf. Highly recommend this to everyone.

    Hands down, this is the best primer available at any drugstore. It's safe to say that it rivals the everpopular Smashbox Photofinish primer. It goes on smoothly, has no scent, and gives you a great matte finish that helps your makeup stay put all day long.

    L’Oreal Magic Perfecting Base really is MAGIC! Although it comes in a small jar, this cream is thick and luxurious, so a little goes a long way. I am new to applying bases and will not need this product for my daily life but it will be my go to product each and every time I go out on the town to begin my makeup application. Perfect for disguising imperfections and a pure luxury to apply. I will be checking for this product to go on sale and stock up when it does cause I really like this base.
