EXCELLENT PRIMER that you need to try!

I have been loving the Rare Beauty collection, So I had to try this. It's a silicone formula that just melts into the skin like butter down to a mattifying finish.

This primer goes on so smoothly sometimes i just pht it on without makeup. I have not notcied it diffusing pores but i am still learning makeup so it may take a while to even realize what I'm actually looking for. It feels good on your skin and its good under makeup after letting it sit a while.

I've tried many primers and honestly this isn't anything special. I feels goes on easily and feels good on the skin but doesn't blur my pores like other primers do

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Ive searched for pore minimizing primers for a while and i tried this one on a whim and love love love it! It leaves my skin feeling so soft and helps blur pores! I have combination oily/dry skin and usually do not wear foundation, i only use the primer because I feel it's sufficient for me!
