Real life blur without the filter!
I will start by saying that I am not a regular primer user--I've been trying to wear a little less full makeup lately--though I have used many brands in the past. That being said, I did enjoy trying out this primer. I have combination skin, and this did not exacerbate it or cause a breakout, and eve...

Dispenser is awful
I love this product, but cannot dispense with the pump.
Best primer
This is the best primer I have ever used!
Disappointing
Not the same formula and wasteful packaging- go back to the previous formula and tube.
NOT the original formula
It enrages me the way companies deceive the consumer. This primer is not the original formula, do not be fooled. Still a terrible primer. I'm so disappointed.
I would absolutely keep ordering this

I've been using this makeup primer for a couple of months now, and overall, I really like it. It creates a smooth, silky base that helps my foundation go on evenly and stay in place throughout the day. My skin feels soft after applying it, and it does a great job of blurring pores and giving that slightly airbrushed look without feeling heavy or greasy. That said, I wouldn't call it perfect. While it definitely extends the wear of my makeup, I've noticed that after several hours—especially in warmer weather—some shine still starts to peek through around my T-zone. It's nothing major, but it keeps me from calling it completely mattifying. I also wish it had a bit more hydration, as it can feel slightly dry on days when my skin isn't at its best. Even with those minor drawbacks, it's a solid primer that delivers on most of its promises. My makeup lasts longer, looks smoother, and feels lighter overall. I'd give it four out of five stars—almost perfect, just shy of that final touch that would make it holy-grail status.
