Just OK
Does not beat my favorite primer. The product felt more like a nice moisturizer. Not bad and better than nothing at all however not as good as other primers I have used.
Actually caused an allergic reaction to my skin.
It seems like a great primer however, my skin is sensitive to an ingredient - not sure what ingredient. Otherwise, it went on really smooth and my usual foundation loved it. It's sad that it caused an allergic reaction - I really wanted to like the product.
Doesn't Do Anything More Than a Good Moisturizer
The Perfecting Primer has a nice smooth texture and creates a good hydrated canvas for makeup, but I didn't notice any benefits in terms of prolonging the longevity or wear of my makeup. I don't usually use a face primer and this hasn't convinced me that I need to -- I can get the same results from a good moisturizer. Ultimately, It's not a bad product, just not a step that I feel is necessary in my routine.
I received a sample of this product free from ChickAdvisor.
I loved the cruelty free aspect...
I loved the fact this product was cruelty free, but there are other products out there that are cruelty free that work much better than this one.
After using it for two days under my foundation, I found I broke out in blemishes. I don’t normally have sensitive skin, but this product seemed to be an exception.
Not a smooth application
I was so excited to get to try this product when I received it in the mail. I have heard so many good things about this company. I read about it a few months ago and was so anxious to try it out, especially because it was all natural. I love the scent. But I found the application to be very drying. My foundation did not go on smoothly after applying this primer.
Didn’t do much for me
I tested it against my silicone primer that is half the price and didn’t see much of a difference. I was hoping for it to minimize my pores a bit more. It did feel nice though.
Average primer
I found this primer went on more like a lotion and was a creamier texture than other primers I have used. After applying foundation I found my skin very soft. However the foundation didn't apply as smoothly compared to other primers. I think it's in the middle of the pack, there are worse and there are better.
Didn't work for my skin type
I have been testing out the Perfecting Primer for the past week or so, using a combination of different foundations in order to give you guys my honest opinion! This primer is silicone free, so you are not going to get that silicone-y feel with it. To be honest, I do prefer silicone primers. I have very oily skin, and half of the time foundation does not last very long on my face. Additionally, I also like the mattifying properties of them.
BUT for the purpose of this I had to ignore that and just go with it. This primer comes out looking like a moisturizer, and feeling like one too. It is not greasy, but it has almost a wet feel to it. It is lightweight, which is nice for the upcoming summer months! The first time I used this primer, I actually did not pair it with a foundation at all – I wanted to see how it performed on its own. I wore it to work with some eye makeup (and of course lipstick… who could forget lipstick?!), and within a few hours my face was like an oil slick. I’m not going to hold it against this primer because my face will do that pretty much no matter what I’m wearing it with.
The second time I tried this primer, I used it underneath a powder foundation – the Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation to be precise. Which I highly recommend, by the way. Not only does it smell AMAZING but it gives good coverage for a powder foundation, and it helps to keep oil a bay. Anyway, this combination was a no go for me as well. The foundation started to break up around my nose and mouth, and it was very noticeable.
The last attempt I made was with a combination of a stick and liquid foundation. I used the Sephora Collection Make No Mistake Stick Foundation and the Physicians Formula Healthy Foundation. This was the best combination that I found so far – but it still wasn’t life changing by any means. It lasted the longest (but still only a few hours), and then started to look like crap like the others.
All in all, this primer just isn’t for my skin type. If you have dry to normal skin, I feel like it’ll work better for you!
A nice light primer
Ever since I got my Nude by Nature primer, I’ve been using it under my makeup. It’s a very sheer formula so you barely know you’ve put anything on. If you like a primer, it’s a good one to use but I don’t know if it’s an essential part of your makeup routine.
Nude by Nature primer
I tried this primer after cleansing my face. The packaging looks great. Initially it felt as if it's a moisturizer. When i first applied it on my face, it felt nice but the more i spread it around, the less smooth the texture got. Also, I'm bothered with the smell...it's unpleasant.
