Wouldn’t recommend for combined skin (oily/dry)

It has a lovely texture for applying on the skin but once you apply the foundation it goes patchy whilst blending it with a beauty blender and even patchier within the first 10 minutes of wearing it.

Not for oily skin

I bought this primer after reading many reviews about how well it works for oily skin however after a couple uses I was quite disappointed, it doesn't control my oil at all. My t-zone area was shiny after 30 minutes of applying my makeup. It's very smooth and I noticed it erased my texture a little but not completely. I'd say this primer is more suited for dry/combo skin or persons that like a dewy finish.

Best primer for combination skin

I have read loads of review about the product and decided to try it. My previous primers were smashbox or tom ford which I love. This primer is perfect for combination skin it is matte and prolongs foundation wear. My best advise is this primer is best with DEWY foundation only! Like luminous silk or BB or CC creams makes them last all day without extra shine. For double wear or prolong foundation I use High-Spread-ability Fluid Primer which gives nice smooth texture allowing easy and even spread of thicker foundation. Hope my tips will be helpful ;)

Feels so soft on the skin

Feels really nice on the skin! So smooth, however I don’t think it makes my makeup last much longer, infact after looking in the mirror after 3 hours most of imy foundation had come off :( and this was using the primer alongside a high end setting spray! However it was also a new foundation I tried so could have been the problem. Will continue using this for now as feels amazing x

Favorite primer to date

I have tried a lot of much more expensive primers and for me, this has worked the best. I love that whilst being a silicone primer, it doesn’t have the thick clayish texture of products such as porefessional & applies more like a moisturiser. I have combination skin and get very oily/shiny round and on my nose and on my forehead. The first time I used this primer I put my makeup on at 7am, worked a 6 hour shift, had a nap, then worked another 6 hour shift at a different job & got home at 1.30am. Usually, I am shiny after a few hours but my oily areas still looked as they did when I applied my makeup that morning. Don’t think I’ll ever use another product, especially at this price.

Just okay

I liked how smooth it made my skin feels after applying, I don't really see the blurring effect. Plus, i couldn't get past the plasticky smell it has.

Smoothing but doesn't make makeup last longer

Really improves texture of skin and feels nice. However, it is very silicone-y and I didn't find that it made much difference in how long my makeup stayed on.

Amazing

I love this primer. Ihad been using the ordinary high spreadability fluid primer for a while and then switched to this one. it leaves skin so smooth and a little dewy. I have combination skin and it works perfectly. Doesn't leave foundation patchy. The only downside is, is that it feels a little empty. But so good for the price.

Good

This primer is really good for the price you are paying. Since i have oily skin it did do something for my makeup. My face was less shiny even after 4-5 hours and the makeup lasted long. I have been using it with the zinc solution serum(don't know the exact name) and its been working great. It does has a funny smell to it but it doesn't linger. Definitely worth giving a try.

Far too heavy for me

I have combination skin that is also oily. I have paired this with many moisturisers and it just sits on my skin, it feels really heavy and even pills under certain foundations. I've tried using just a teeny amount and still it was awful for me. However, I'll probably try the fluid primer to see. (I hated the serum foundation, but absolutely love the bha peeling mask, the caffeine eye serum, moisturising factors (for night use) and the zinc treatment for acne so overall this brand is pretty amazing and the prices are game changers.
