I wanted to love it.

I really wanted to love this primer. I'm not sure if it's my skin type, but I've found when I use this primer, it breaks me out! My skin feels so congested after using it. While it did an okay job of making my makeup stay put, it was incredibly hard to work with. You have to be sure to press the product into your skin or else it just pulls up and rubs right off. The texture is just to slippery for my liking!

Terrible!! I have purchased many other hard candy products in the past, all of which were fine. This primer, not so much. It was super greasy and oils. After having it on only a few hours my make up was a mess.

This is not a bad primer for the price. I bought the colour correcting one to hide the redness and acne, it did a good job, covered them nicely. The only problem was my face was greasy in a few hours. I am not blaming it on the Hard Candy primer, I have not found one yet that would work on my face in these hot humid conditions, I might give it a try in the fall.

The primer I've tested in the Colour Correcting formula.
I had high hopes for this product to help with my redness, but I find it just adds a greasy feeling to my face.
Along with how greasy it is, my foundation ends up blending poorly over it.
I find it doesn't make my foundation last any longer, and the redness is not hidden at all.

I hated this primer. It feels really heavy almost like wearing a mask. It does help a little bit but for feeling like wearing a mask i would not re-use this product. For a product that was suppose to be a dupe for higher end products, I was definitely disappointed.

This seemed to be a very affordable primer esprcially for those on a tight budget. The consistency however is very grainy butit spreads well on the face. You have to use your fingers with this one. Honestly, in my opinion your money is better spent on the smashbox primer than this one. It does it job but there are better better products out there.
