- Q
I apply this primer as instructed, not too much and wait a few minutes for it to sink in. While it does make my skin look smooth and flawless, as soon as I apply my foundation it starts to pill. Would it be better to use this primer with a non silicone foundation? Or do you have any other tips on preventing pilling?
- Asked by Eve
- Official Answer By Tarte - Brand EngageHi there! We suggest using very little product as a little bit goes a long way. Applying too much (or layering too much) can cause it to ball up. Work little by little massaging it into the skin before foundation application. We hope that helps!Was this answer helpful to you

Oily Skin & Mature Skin Friendly
I have tried a number of primers that work well on my oily skin. This one isn't formulated specifically for oily skin, but hands down it's the best. Stays on all day. Works well on enlarged pores or any texture issues. Best of all it's maturity skin friendly. :-)

Blur what???
I have tried this product every which way but loose. I tried looking up videos on how to apply. Thought, maybe I was doing something wrong. Too much? Too little? Didn't wait long enough after application? Nothing works. Goes on beautiful drive to work, check the mirror? I look worse. I kept blaming ...

Pasty, pills
I'm glad I only bought a mini. This goes on poorly for me no matter what skin care products I've used first, if any. It's pasty and applies patchily, then pills. Total miss. Would not repurchase not recommend.
Love it!

My absolute favorite, I have large pores and this helps cover everything!! I apply this before foundation and it makes it look like air brush finish.
Wonderful Primer for Mature Skin
I purchased the travel size to test it out. This primer smooth out my problem areas ie the sides of my nose, cheeks and chin areas. I have noticed a difference in how my makeup looks. I will definitely purchase this again.

Not vegan, need to correct this
This is not a vegan product, not sure why that's in the name on Ulta's site. Confirmed with Tarte that ingredients haven't changed and it's not vegan. Ugh
