    Favourite primer

    This is by far my favourite primer that I’ve tried. It goes on smooth and makes a huge difference in my makeup application. I fine I use way less product and see way more results. I also use it on its own without makeup for the oil control.

    Staying power

    This is the primer I wore on my wedding day in July, that was a sweltering hot day! 33 degrees, outdoor wedding, in my dress, and my makeup not only didn't move, but my face stayed flawless. Even when I quickly blotted sweat off my face, nothing transferred or 'melted'. At the same time instead of looking like a disco ball, my face stayed matte, hydrated yet glowing with no visible pores. It was fabulous, you need very little of this, just a bit the size of a pea goes all over your face. I applied it with my fingers which was just as effective as anything else in my opinion. :)

    Hours of perfect make-up without oil and shine

    This is a primer with a cream texture from Smashbox. My skin quickly absorbs the product even after I use my daily moisturiser when I prepare my skin to put on some make-up. It is a little bit pricey due to its size; however, I just apply on specific areas of my face where it produces more oil, like nose, forehead and part of my cheeks, so a small amount will suffice and the product will last longer. The product guarantees 12 hours free from shine and oil, but I can say that for me, 7-8 hours and my skin still looks good. You can find it at Sephora. I'm glad I gave it a try.

    It didn’t work as expected!

    I have oily skin and was super excited to try this primer. Unfortunately my face was oily and shine as usual, no improvement at all. Yeah it is matte finish but does not help with controlling the oils.

    It helped on having a better foundation application...yes, but I was more interested on having an oil and shine control feature on this primer.
