This primer was recommended on a few web sites and supposed to work very
well on oily and blemish prone skin, so this was a reason I bought it. I own it
since April, which means that I tested it in a bit colder weather and also
during summer. And simple conclusion is: it didn’t do anything for me. Nada,
niente, zero J Luckily I only
bought travel size. I really had high hopes for this, because products that I
know from Cover FX have good reviews and are popular.
My skin is always too shiny and this made it even greasier. It left me
look like a total mess. I looked like a teenager who doesn’t know what she is
supposed to do with her skincare. Total opposite effect than expected. I was
looking for something that would ˝dry out˝ my T-zone a bit, like some
moisturizers (from Bioderma) for oily skin do.
I need to stress that I used this on its own or with my moisturizer and
then set with pressed powder. I never used it under foundation. Product is
transparent – gel like, thick and has oily feeling. When blended, it gives that
smooth pleasant feeling, but never total mat. It works quite nice for two hours
maximum, but then not anymore. It has mild, but unpleasant smell which fades
away quickly and it’s not disturbing. Travel sized tube contains 15ml, and
costs around 14€ (Beautybay.com). Packaging is standard and practical; you need
to shake it before use. You need just a tiny size of it, so even small
container will last for a long time.
What else can I say? My experience was bad, but that doesn’t mean that
it won’t work for you. Primers can be strange and work differently on people,
so maybe you should give it a try. Our skin reacts different, maybe you’ll be
lucky and this will be a Holy Grail primer for you.
