20 Best Facial Primer For Wrinkles (2023 Updated)

I am 64 I have taken care of my skin since I can remember. The second my sister and I had any signs of a blemish our mother took us both to the dermatologist. I wasn’t as lucky to have the perfect flawless skin that my OLDER sister STILL has! I will say that with LineBLURfectur Primer I may still have a chance to look AS good as her! About a week in my face started looking good enough I noticed that what ever ‘PRIMING” it was doing I felt confident enough that for the first time , , LESS IS MORE! Who knew! and it was liberating!! my face didn’t look as old lady fake, i looked more natural with just eye makeup and a little blush, i blended, put on my favorite pink lipstick and i looked great!! This stuff within a few weeks does actually make your face look and feel much younger! I do hope that you have much success with your youth finding journey.

If you feel like you look radiant after a week or two of using – do what I did and see if anyone compliments you!? IF IF IF they negatively say something RECON girls we aren’t teenagers so come on laugh it off and say you’ve been having HOT FLASHES, (LOL) Not Sleeping well, they will all nod and move on.

I highly doubt something negative is going to come out of that little positive pink and white tube of LineBLUR that feels kinda like magic going on your face!! You know what I’m talking about you beautiful ladies! Enjoy every minute of your journey of your life.

i think its harder looking at the SCALE than in the mirror. we had to choose our battles with our kids, now we have to choose our battles with ourselves!!! Our children would simply laugh at us if they only knew what we are all really thinking!! happy Sojourn xo.

This is a decent primer overall. It goes on smooth and has a minty/menthol-like smell. The smell isn’t super strong, but it did burn a little when I put it on the drier parts of my skin, such as under my eyes.

My foundation applied nicely over it, but it didn’t help with the longevity at all. In fact, throughout the day, my foundation began to break apart around my mouth and nose area. By the end of the day, there was hardly any foundation left on those areas.

It was pretty strange, it just evaporated. This primer was the only new product I was using, at the time, so that had to be it. Plus, I really didn’t see any improvement with my wrinkles. That was a disappointment considering it has “anti-wrinkle” right there in the name of the product.

So I won’t be repurchasing this one anytime soon. There are better products out there, that’s for sure.

So after reading all the raving reviews, I decided to order this. I’m 42 and have started noticing fine lines and wrinkles. I wanted this to wear under my makeup. I used it all over my face, a very thin layer.

I made sure to close my eyes and made sure not to get any near my eyes. This stuff burned my eyes right away and it took a while to go away and my eyes kept tearing. So I figured next time I would be more careful.

So I look at my face and see a very slight difference. It seemed to make my pores a little less noticeable, But nothing like all the other reviews showed. So the next time I tried a thicker amount. And again it burned my eyes and I still didn’t see much of a difference.

I’m very disappointed in this product. Especially for the price of this stuff. I will say that it does make my face feel a little smoother though, so that’s a plus.

🖤 This primer has been a must have for all makeup lovers for a couple of years now. With ingredients such as Koolin Clay and White Charcoal, it is known to help absorb oil and leave a blurred out finish.

🖤 This primer is reasonably priced (£9) and personally I only use the smallest amount through my t-zone, as this is where i can get a little shinier. 🖤 Although this looks bright white, it works on all skin tones as it goes on colourless.

I wouldn’t recommend to use this all over the face if you don’t have oily skin. Focus on the areas that need blurring out. 🖤 When I applied it to the cheek area on the side of my nose I did find that there was some texture after I applied my foundation.

This is probably because my skin is a little drier there. 🖤When applied down the centre of my nose and a little on the chin, it really does prevent shine, and especially when the weather is hot and humid as it keeps the makeup from melting or looking shiny.

🖤 I will say I love the texture, it’s velvety and applies smoothly and it really does help makeup grip nicely to it. Definitely recommend if you are looking for something to control shiny areas, but avoid applying to dry / balanced areas as it will cause some texture.

I wanted to try a new primer, and I specifically wanted to look at what e. l. f. had to offer. What drew me initially was the appearance of the product; I really liked it. I also was glad there were a variety of e.

l. f. primers to choose from. However, the feel of the product was thicker than I had expected / than I had used before, and it felt oily when I applied it. The next thing I did was to smell the product, and I was shocked by the scent.

It resembled the smell of chemicals. The scent is so harsh that it made me instantly worry that the product may be harmful, even though I was pretty confident it would not, based on e. l. f. ‘s solid reputation.

The primer definitely grabs onto concealer and foundation and holds them securely – but a little too well because it makes it difficult to blend the makeup I applied. I plan to use the rest of the primer since I can’t afford to be wasteful, but I definitely will not purchase it again.

Even though my experience with this specific product has been negative, I will continue to use and try other e. l. f. products. I rarely ever leave negative reviews, but the smell of this product is so bad that I want other people to know about it before they decide to make the same purchase.

I’ve been using the matte putty primer on days where the humidity in Dallas is very high & it will definitely be my holy grail primer during the hot & humid summer. (I use the poreless putty primer during colder, dryer, weather).

I love how this primer prevents my skin from looking greasy & gives it a beautiful polished matte finish, even w/o foundation. I use the primer brush w/applicator for a very even finish. This is the perfect primer for the humid climates in the south.

I’ve used many primers & products prevent oily breakthroughs & believe me, this one beats them all! This product feels yummy on my skin. You won’t regret purchasing this product. The quality & price of the product are stunning.

So i purchased the Yellow primer for redness correction in the hope that it would reduce the rosy cheeks i have, unfortunately I am very disappointed with this. The product has a nice consistency, and goes on smoothly, but does not noticably reduce redness.

Put on foundation next and oh dear, not only does my foundation not stay in place for any length of time, but the red cheeks peek through quite significantly. Attempted using it on eyes to see if it would provide extra staying power/crease resistance to eye shadows, but that did not work either.

This was tried with a clinique full coverage foundation (Hydrate & Refresh), and that was a total disaster, it also does not seem to behave any differently with other makes of foundation that i have tried (BareMinerals/MAC), This is a real shame, as i was really hoping this would work.

I unfortunately have dry, sensitive skin. I like a natural look and use tinted moisturizers. I wanted to try Clinique Universal Primer to smooth out my skin and to make my makeup last. It did both of those things, and I especially liked that this primer is non-irritating.

However, even though I applied the primer sparingly and had exfoliated the previous night, it left a thin, white, very matte film on my face. I think this product would be great for oilier complexions.

I would try it again if it left a slightly dewy finish.

I love the way this primer feels, as it’s not tacky and doesn’t have the silicone feel that most primer have. However, like many Clinique products, this only likes to work with other Clinique products and doesn’t play well with others.

The yellow tint helps redness some, but really just kind of knocks the edge off of it and not really “correct” it. Still is a great product though that I’ve used time and time again.

I purchased this product because I was in the market for a tinted moisturizer and have never tried any before, this was too good of a deal to pass up without at least trying. For reference, I have the most porcelain skin I have ever seen in my life so nearly everything that I purchase is too dark or turns orange on my skin.

I have two tried and true foundations, one from Smashbox and the other from Anastasia Beverly Hills. I have a dry combination skin type for reference. I wanted to love this product and it was promising at first but within the first few minutes, it was already oxidizing on my skin.

It oxidized so bad that I had an entirely different color on my face than my hairline or the rest of my body. It looked as if I had gotten a bad spray tan. It also made my super dry skin feel heavy, clogged, and oily.

I will also add, that I have contact dermatitis which is a form of eczema in which I have very sensitive skin and can only use certain soaps and cosmetics but had heard many good things about Tula. Unfortunately, this product also made my face start burning, similar feeling to a sunburn, when it was on my skin and I washed it off immediately.

I know that I am not the norm for cosmetic buyers but in case someone out there has a similar skin type, I wanted to share my experience.

I finally took the plunge and ordered this product and the Tula Cult Classic face cleanser. I officially am sold on Tula products and this one in particular is my favorite! I will never buy another brand primer! At 31 years old I am noticing my skin is not as firm and supple as it used to be, my pores are more noticeable and I am starting to get the fine lines in my laugh lines.

I have tried numerous primers before from drug store to Ulta Brand to The POREfessional and none of them have wowed me like this Tula primer. This is a tinted primer that is activated when applied to your skin.

It matches perfectly with my skin without even looking like I put a colored product on my face. It is so lightweight, my pores are now invisible, makes my makeup last all day, and makes my skin feel so soft and nourished.

I have not been using it long enough to see the results it claims to have but I whole heartedly believe I will with consistent use. Do not hesitate, if you need a good primer get this Tula Filter Primer now!.

After great reviews I bought it. It is going back. There is nothing about this that makes it so hyped. I wore it multiple times, with different foundations/tinted moisturizers. On one day I noticed foundation on everything I touched (after touching my face).

It didn’t help foundation stay on. All my other primers including hydrating primers have done a better job of reducing transfer/slip. I have redness on my nose and cheeks. This primer didn’t make a slightest difference.

Smashbox redness primer is even better than this. As for blurring, I did a half face comparison with cover fx blurring primer. and Tula left my face with texture whereas cover fx made it super smooth.

The color is a grey white when it comes out but turns orange on the skin. If you do not apply it carefully you will end up with orange streaks is you are Snow White pale. But when applied well, my nc10 foundation didn’t reveal any extra orange.

The texture of the product was ok, possibly hydrating, but that’s about all. This has been so hyped I’d love to know who actually bought it, and how it worked for them. Because for me, a complete fail.

Skin type: pale, dry combo, mild eczema and rosacea, 40’s.

I received this primer at the start of a few weeks of fabulous cool weather here in South Florida. I really liked it at first. It does need a few minutes to sit on your skin before you apply foundation, but I found that if I applied the primer first, then did my eye makeup, then moved onto foundation it did the trick.

Unfortunately the last couple days the heat and humidity have been creeping back up and Smooth Affair is not performing as well under these conditions. My face is getting shiny after a couple hours and I notice that by around 3:00 the texture of my makeup looks different (for the worse).

If you live somewhere with less humidity/real seasons/cold weather I think Smooth Affair is probably a great option for a fall/winter primer. As far as price is concerned, at first I thought this was a bit expensive, but now that I realize how much product you get for $50, I actually think it’s a good value.

All in all, I prefer Benefit’s The Porefessional (which I had been using previously), so I’ll probably be returning to that. For reference – I’m 27 years old with combination, olive/medium toned skin.

Finding this product has been a real game changer for me. I’ve been using the Pure Pressed Mineral Foundation for years, but thought it might be a little “cakey” looking on me. I loved it and didn’t want to give it up, but switched to the Glow Time foundation and this face primer.

I decided to use Smooth Affair under the Pure Pressed Mineral Foundation and found that the powder foundation looked even better! I now have 2 foundations that both look great after applying Smooth Affair.

Love this product!.

I’m a long-time fan of JI products, especially the pure pressed minerals = THE BEST!! I would be happier with this primer if it didn’t include fragrance and essential oils. Here’s why: I really feel the scents are a wonderful aromatherapy component to products for those with skin that’s impervious to those elements.

But I doubt that’s the majority. I know I’d be a fan of this primer but for this issue. The finish and texture of this primer is lovely though.

hesitate to get it at first because the price is quite steep. this item has been in my cart for about 4 months but one fine day i just took the leap of faith to just get this after read many people rave about this primer.

living in hot and humid country consistently througout the year make me very selective when choosing a primer. i dont want a silicone-ish feel primer, greasy or glowy primer that will look like an oil slick after few hours.

when i first tried this im so surprise that i fall in love with it. the application is so smooth, it really blurs pores and mattify your complexion. it prepares your skin by creatinf a layer od smooth canvas like a silk that will make ur makeup last longer.

i just did an experiment with my sunscreen, i use my suncreen before the primer and sometime i use primer first before sunscreen(im using mineral sunscreen anyway hence the order of using is not a big deal), in both situation my sunscreen doesnt pill.

and it doesnt interfere with my makeup. what i like about it the most is, if u just only use this on is own is already make ur skin look poreless and fresh, walla! you dont have to wear foundation and still can be confident.

my skin does not have any bad reaction with this primer,i guess because it also contains skincare ingredients thats why when im wearing this orimer i feel like im actuly wearing a skincare. unlike other top brand primer out there which is feel very silicone-ish and artificial and clogges pore.

but none with this one. i highly recommend this for gurllss with oily skin. this will be our life saver. even the price is stepp but it goes a looooooooong waaaaaayyyy. i read review some people say it took them about a year to hit the pan.

I’m so pleased with this product. It is best used exactly per instructions, which gives your skin a pure light-reflecting smoothness much as you might coat an artist’s canvas before applying color. I first use a moisturizer and then sparingly and carefully apply a THIN LAYER of this product exactly as instructed.

It gives your skin a smooth, even look, and it brightens as well. It’s NOT a CONCEALER! I’ve read the other reviews, and anyone that isn’t a 5-star review seems to be misunderstanding the product or overusing the product.

But this skin covering is a “preparation” step BEFORE you use your foundation or minerals. I use it daily WITHOUT MAKEUP just so I can feel a bit “polished” without the fol-der-al of doing all the makeup steps.

And it keeps your moisturizer working ALL DAY LONG no matter how many hours go by. Usually, I re-apply moisturizer during the day, but this primer holds moisture for you. And then when I DO have a meeting or need to interact with others, and I DO apply normal makeup, THAT is when ALL THE VALUE of this product shines through as it highlights your skin without hiding it.

I stumbled across this product when searching for a good primer. During isolation with plenty of time on my hands, I did tonnes of research in this product – lots of reviews and different ways of using it.

I decided to give it a try and bought it online from Mecca. The purchase came with a free gift from Mecca. I only needed less than recommended, so start little and go from there as everybody is different.

It made my skin smooth as silk, blurring my large pores and uneven skin texture (I am 43 years young). I used to have combination skin, but it’s now more dry and flaky at certain spots. Once, I experimented by using it on one side of my face only, and the difference is massive! The side with Silk Canvas helped my foundation blend in much better than the side without.

Even though it’s quite pricey, but you only need a tiny amount each time, so in the long run, it’s really good value. I have no issues with finding a spot to place the disc, I just put it with my Silk Canvas in the box it came with.

Yes, I recommend this product. Looking forward to trying other products from Tatcha.

I had never really been a believer in primers, and felt they were just another product that the cosmetic companies tried to convince us we needed to increase revenue. That was until I tried this one.

I have tried others from some of the top names, and found them a useless waste of money, but the Elemis Pro-Collagen Primer is a game changer. It is lovely and light to apply, and has a soft creme-gel texture, which smooths over the skin well, with a slight cool feel.

It isn’t heavy or sticky, and you can apply your foundation straight away. I have found that if you use too many skincare products underneath, it can pill when you try to apply your foundation, but that is easily sorted by not using layer upon layer of skincare.

I use the Elemis Pro-Collagen range, which is lovely for my 50 something combination/dryish skin, and this fits in perfectly with that. It does make my foundation go on well, stay for longer and look all together fresher.

Pores are slightly less obvious, but bear in mind nothing will get rid of them or close them permanently. Lines are also softened, but not removed. It is expensive, but you don’t need much per application.

All in all, an excellent product, which I highly recommend – and if it can convert me to a primer, then it must be good!.

I’ve been using Lancome products for decades. I was running low on their primer, saw this on an Ulta points special, and figured I’d give it a shot after reading reviews (while not expecting to see much difference, if any).

Day one, I can see and feel a highly significant difference. For reference I’m 59 with very large pores and fine lines, but they all become nearly invisible when this is topped off with Lancome Teint Idole foundation, and the effect lasted all day.

Truthfully, the Lancome primer can’t even hold a candle to this one. Yes, this is very pricey even compared to Lancome, but it takes very little for each use so I’m sold, it’s worth every cent. It works well with my Lancome Visionnaire and Genifique serums and moisturizers too.

I will definitely buy again, and try some of their other products as well since I’m so pleased with this one. Highly recommended, extremely happy customer here!.

I was furious with the first application. The consistency and tackiness was wretched. I went back and read reviews/directions. SHAKING IT UP IS THE EQUIVALENT OF NIGHT AND DAY! Before giving a bad review, make sure you as the user, have exhausted all options.

I previously worked in a cosmetic, dermatology type atmosphere. I had the opportunity to test products and procedures that were being used around the world. The #1 issue is UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. People want to believe that one product will be the holy grail.

the equivalent of The Fountain of Youth. A product or procedure that is going to take off 30 years worth of sun damage and aging. THERE IS NO SUCH MIRACLE! This serum by itself will not turn back the hands of time.

If you set your expectations too high, you are going to be disappointed in most anything you try. Sun damage, enlarged pores, etc. did not occur overnight, it took years to develop the damage you see in the mirror today.

Aside from the incorrect product photos (pink color versus what you will receive which is a yellow/brown color)->THIS IS A GREAT RETAIL PRIMER! BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS! Get yourself on a good skin care regimen, stick with it and over time you will discover the products that work best for you.

Happy Shopping!.

Too Faced always comes through with the adorable packaging. They are absolutely by far my top favorite High End Brand because of the fact I have yet to come across a product of theirs that isn’t awesome! The Too Faced Plump & Prime Face Plumping Primer Serum smells absolutely amazing but don’t worry about it being too strong because it’s not.

The scent is super light and clean smelling! After applying a pump or two on the back of my hand I apply the primer on my face and it instantly soaks right into the skin and leaves my skin feeling supple, plump, and refreshed.

I like the fact that it leaves a light tacky feeling on the skin to give your foundation something to stick on to. I noticed that I like the results to my makeup more when I put on thick moisturizer the night before and then in the morning when doing my makeup I go in straight with the Too Faced Plump & Prime Face Plumping Primer Serum and skip the moisturizer step.

I do this because the primer already is a serum too all in one and gives me the perfect amount of hydration while also priming me giving me the perfect canvas to start off with! I noticed the pores around my nose are almost invisible and the lines under my eyes are filled in to being non-existent.

I think every girl can appreciate this products when it gives you a three in one where it Primes, plumps up your skin, & helps smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles! I have also noticed after only 2 1/2 weeks of using this product that my cheeks and areas around my face are noticeably more plump and my skin bounces back just the way youthful skin should do! Any way I can keep my skin looking and feeling youthful and healthy I will keep doing whatever that is that helps with that! I highly recommend this and will definitely be adding this primer serum to my ride or die product list and make sure I stock up way before I run out! You can’t go wrong with a primer and serum all in one.

Too Faced has spoiled us with yet another perfect item!.

I don’t understand all the hateful reviews. I purchased my bottle at Ulta in the store and while it is a peachy color and has a smell that is neither floral (thank goodness as I am sensitive to perfume) nor herbal, it’s just a kind of organic smell, can’t really describe it, I would not say it was awful.

What I do know is that thankfully it does NOT have aloe in it which everyone seems to think is a miracle cure for skin, but I am allergic to aloe. I was out in the sun too much yesterday at the pool and two applications of this calmed the burn and I woke up with healed skin.

No pain, no peeling. I am 59, I have wrinkles, NOTHING is going to erase them, but this really does make my skin smooth and less dry and it’s my go to moisturizer and oh, no blackheads, because I still get those and this stuff does not clog my pores.

Read the ingredients and you can understand why it smells the way it smells. I am so glad there is no added perfume in this.

Kind of in love w Tarte’s timeless smoothing primer, in a bad way. I watch a few beauty gurus on YouTube. Tati most of all, since we’re the same age. And she just seems cool. But this has been one of the constantly used products I’ve heard her mention.

So I decided to try the mini out. The consistency of this is somewhere between kitten fur and velvet. It just feels like a dream, it’s got this texture I’ve never felt before w any other beauty product.

This may be the third primer I’ve ever tried to use, back in my 20s and almost all of my 30s I didn’t wear it. And considering I just go out for 2 or 3 hours now, I prob don’t need it, but I WANT it.

And the little jar is just like something out of Alice in wonderland. Just a perfect mini thing, that looks like icing inside. And thankfully it doesn’t say “Eat me” or I just might try 😂.

I bought this because of all the rave reviews and plus I absolutely LOVE Tarte. I use SOOO many of their products including the Amazonian clay full coverage foundation which i love because its the only foundation I’ve found thats mask friendly.

I WAS using the tarte poreless primer in the purple tube which I love btw but I decided to give this a shot since its so thick I thought it would be even better for me (my skin is extremely oily in the t zone and I’m combo but I virtually never break out).

Well, im an esthetician so I pay attention to ingredients and I bought this without even checking (stupid me. I know better). I used it once and developed a HUGE cystic acne spot on my chin. I figured it was a fluke and probably hormonal since it was on my chin.

so I used it again and BAM I had another very large zit on the side of my nose. then another one popped up on my check next to my nose. then another on the other side of my face. even though I stopped using it I had a full on breakout.

I looked at the ingredients and noticed pretty high up on the list is hydrogenated vegetable oil. really tarte? you couldn’t use something less comedogenic? not all oils will break u out but this one is just cheap and I’m so mad cuz now I have to let my entire face heal and wait for the spots to fade and flatten just because I used this twice.

Also it didn’t keep the oil away either. it actually made me look greasy really fast and my makeup looked horrible. the only reason I tried it twice was because I wanted to try prepping my skin differently to see if that would help but I assure u I will not be using this ever again.

If you want acne. try this!.

I love that the product is made with quality ingredients and that it has no fragrance in it because my skin is highly sensitive to scents and all essential oils. It feels smooth to the touch after the product dries off on your skin, making it easy to apply your makeup.

I do want to note that since the packaging changed from glass bottle to now a plastic squeeze tube, the formula is slightly different as well. It contains all the beloved ingredients, in all the correct order, but it’s missing vitamin C.

The color is a little different as well. The primer was shimmery white; it is now shimmery pale pink. I’m fine with that, but I think the consistency may be a tiny bit thinner than the older formula.

If I had to choose between the two, I’d very much prefer the old formula. However, the new formula worked for my skin; didn’t break me out, smooth application of makeup, and it doesn’t have any smell to it, so I think I’m perfectly fine with this new formula.

Wished it was less expensive for the amount they offer.

I should start by saying I don’t usually have oily skin. I tried this primer during a bout of intense oil production due to dehydration. This product will soak up all your oil — that promise is fulfilled! However, I found it left me feeling like I was wearing a clay mask on my face all day.

Perhaps someone with even oilier skin would love this product. Recently, I have been using a dab as a base for my eyeshadow primer. I have extra oily eyelids and a hooded lid, so shadows don’t like to stay on.

Due to the price I wouldn’t recommend buying it for that purpose, though.

Over priced tinted silicone primer which has awful unrealistic skin shades and balls up when used in conjunction with water based products. Total waste of money. If using for the spf properties I would advise spending your money on an spf with good quality skin identical ingredients.

Blurring, smoothing, line filling, perfection. Great base to a little concealer and blush! Does not provide coverage so much as it just blurs imperfections so I spot conceal afterwards and am out the door!.

I never was a fan of primer because it seems every time I used it, my face would breakout regardless of the brand, so I figured it was an ingredient that is used in all primers that was the cause of this, so I just stop using primers altogether.

However, I let my friend do my makeup one night (she’s study cosmetology) and she used this brand and it didn’t breakout my face and I used it for a week straight and it did what a primer is suppose to do.

At the end of the day, my makeup still looks fresh (my day usually starts at 8 AM and ends around 5 or 6 PM) and when using this I don’t ever have to reapply any makeup. The only problem is that it’s pricey.

I love this product, it’s easy to use, 1 pump needed for most faces! I can also wear this without the makeup for hot/humid days where my makeup might run. Great coverage, and the moisturization is incredible.

I thought that for an over 50 gal, this would add to pancaking on the face, where it would have highlighted the lines and wrinkles and I was pleasantly suprised it was the OTHER way around! It blended in just right, moisturizing factor just right, and it made my makeup (their tinted moisturizer)go on perfectly and HOLD just right! I am a fan of this company’s products!.

If you are over the age of 40, RUN, don’t walk, and purchase this! I’ve never really believed in primers, but have tried Physician’s Formula, Smashbox and a few others. Amanda tried this on me in my local ULTA the other day and I was shocked to see 10 years off my face, not to mention under my eyes.

Hmm, I thought, let’s see what it looks like a few hours from now. Amazingly fresh, practically perfect and my under-eyes? Fantastic. No clumping of concealer, pores covered, a bit of oil on the forehead after many hours.

It doesn’t get better, and 1 pump does my whole face. I won’t do without this little miracle worker again.

I have been using this for over a year & it is really great! I have textured skin from constant battles with breakouts and was on the hunt for a smoothing primer to help smooth the aftermath of my damaged skin under makeup.

This is the one. When using this I only need the tiniest bit to smooth over the texture. I let sit for a few before applying my foundation and makeup. It makes a huge difference on the smoothness of the look of my skin when I use it.

I can def tell a difference if I don’t use. If you need a smoothing primer under makeup, I highly recommend. I want to note that I also have huge pores in my t-zone, but I use a pore filling primer for that area.

That is not what this primer does. If your pores are small, then I think smoothing this over that area would work for you then. Definitely worth the purchase, and will be a loyal customer to this product.

Great job Elf!!.

Bought this only yesterday after reading lots of positive reviews; sadly, I have to disagree. It has left my face very flat, looking dehydrated and cakey looking. I’ve used alongside my usual, The Ordinary serum foundation, which gives a great natural glow; but not with this primer! Sad that I paid £9 for it and won’t be using it again.

If you love to glow, this is not for you! Can’t comment on the staying power of makeup as I sadly won’t be using it, regardless of how good it is.

This is the primer i started using 2 years ago and haven’t changed ever since. It’s my go-to primer for any look, any time! Not only does it hide your pores it also leaves your skin feeling silky smooth, like butter! Holds perfectly to the rest of the makeup and makes your skin look baby soft and amazing! Have recommended it to my sisters and friends and would definitely continue to recommend it to other people! Great product, great price.

Solid 5/5.

I am starting to see way too many wrinkles, so thought I’d try this hydrating primer. Compared to the La Base Pro primer, this one does not do the same job. My face is definitely not as smooth–almost a stickiness, in fact–so my foundation doesn’t look as good as it should.

It also does not provide the all-day staying power for me that the La Base Pro does. It was pretty humid out the first couple of times I used the Prep & Hydrate, so I thought maybe that was affecting the performance.

However, it has since become cold and dry in our area, and it still just doesn’t work well for me. I’m 53, and have formally oily skin which is now relatively dry. If your skin is really, really dry, this might work for you.

I’m going back to La Base Pro.

I am in my 50’s, have sensitive skin, and use a retinoid for adult acne. It works great but is very drying for my skin. A couple of years ago, I bought the Teint Idole foundation after trying it in store.

It looked beautiful in store, but turned out to be too drying on my skin. My usual foundation (different brand) has been discontinued, so I looked to Lancome for a replacement. It was suggested to me that I use this primer underneath.

It feels great going on, absorbs pretty quickly, and gives a beautiful finish, as well as providing the perfect canvas for foundation. Not only that, but it really does feels like it keeps on moisturizing.

I can even wear the Teint Idole with this! Sold! I will never stop using this.

When I purchased product I knew I would love it because I love Lancome. I can’t afford to purchase as much as I would like. It seemed that I ran out of this Primer. BUT not after another 2 weeks of use.

Why? I could use my scissors and cut open the packaging giving me many more uses by reaching in with my fingers. When products are in the bottles (and some are) we can’t get every last bit. I would request that all products are packaged in a manner that customers could get every last bit.

Lancome is expensive and to be able to use all of it, not leaving any in a bottle would be awesome. I always look forward to the times I have enough money to purchase more. The free samples are wonderful as well as the rewards program.

I have rosacea, eczema, large pores, oily nose, redness, and acne. I found this product and I am so happy I finally found something that would conceal and correct all of my problems. I don’t wear much makeup.

I use glow skincare to prep my skin before applying Mac foundations and concealers to conceal my cystic acne. I find this primer does the job perfectly. My skin is perfected, hydrated and my acne looks less obvious.

My makeup lasts all day with this face primer.

After I tried this, I couldn’t wait for my daughter-in-law to give it a try. Oh my goodness – it feels so wonderful going on your skin. She loved it too. A little goes a long way and I use it in place of a foundation.

It provides light coverage to give your skin an unblemished look. And I love that it has SPF 30 to protect my skin daily. I bought it with my LovelySkin rewards money thinking it would be a good way to try a new product.

Glad I did!.

I love the slickness of this primer. Each morning I apply my vitamin C, moisturizer, SPF and then this primer before my foundation. Other primers have balled or pilled when I would apply my foundation.

This primer creates a smooth canvas for the application of my foundation. I have used other brands of foundations and it works very well. More recently, I started using Glo Liquid Foundation. The primer allows my makeup to stay smooth and fresh all day.

Details: A primer formulated to illuminate skin, add radiance & hydration. Created to provide a smooth canvas, non comedogenic, with moisture reserve technology to hydrate & plump skin for 8 hours. Designed with ingredients that are good for your skin including hyaluronic acid, glycerin, olive oil, jojoba oil & vitamin e to moisturize & condition skin with a radiant finish.

For all skin types. My experience: For reference, I have oily, acne prone skin with some sensitivity & redness. This primer has an opaque white with a medium thick creamy texture & a light fresh scent.

It really does feel like a lightweight hybrid water-gel formulation that hydrates my skin without being too heavy. Leaves my skin smooth, plumped & hydrated with no sticky or greasy residue. My skin looks brighter & refreshed even before makeup application.

Makeup layers over this primer beautifully, no pilling or silicone feeling afterwards. This protects & lengthens the time that I can wear this makeup. Overall: I have not always used primer prior to makeup application as it doesn’t always give the advertised benefits.

This one actually does. I’ve noticed it’s extended the length of my makeup, brightened my skin, hydrated it & created a smooth canvas for makeup application. Definitely glad I’ve tried this & recommend you do if you’re in the market for a primer.

The only con is that it’s more expensive than your average drugstore or even masstige primer but I would argue if you have the money to splurge, it’s well-worth it.

Before you discount my review just because I was gifted it for a review, let me just say that I *never* hype up products just because they’re free. If I didn’t like it or saw any issues, I’d be the first to share.

That being said, this has become my go-to primer. It feels like a light moisturizer, leaving my dry/combo skin feeling and looking supple, glowy, and ready for makeup. It has worked well with all of my products (Kosas concealer, fenty matchstix, powder and cream blushes, and my lancome foundation), leaving a strong base that combines easily with makeup without causing any pilling or separation.

It has a faint but pleasant and refreshing scent and is sticky enough to grab product without being too thick or clogging pores. Since receiving this primer, I’ve used it any time I use makeup and I honestly have no complaints so far.

pros: -moisturizing and hydrating -feels like skincare -plays well with other products -smells good (and isn’t overpowering) -naturally glowy finish -lightweight cons: -none so far!.

I received this Mac Primer for free from bzzagent in exchange for my honest review. I use primer every time I put on makeup. My usual primer is the ELF poreless putty primer. It is matte and it is soft.

This was my first time using a non matte primer. Before the power of accutane and spironolactone my skin was very oily. A primer like this Mac one would not have been my first choice. Now, after both pills, my skin is mostly dry with a slight T-zone oiliness.

This Mac primer is still not for me. If the look that you are going for with your primer and makeup is dewy and plump then this is for you. If you are like me and want a matte finish then this is not for you.

Did the Mac primer do its job? Yes, but not like I had hoped it would. The texture of this primer is more like a face cream and it did not dry quickly. I felt too wet to put on my makeup. I’m too used to the matte finish that I just did not like the dewy finish that this gave.

One upside of this Mac primer is that it is hydrating, which was nice because of my combination skin. I would recommend this to people who like dewy finishes and need extra moisture in their skin prior to makeup application.

UD was my first “high end” brand. I can honestly say UD can be trusted. I’m now 48 and I’m postmenopausal so my face sweats a lot. The primer and spray has always worked so well that I’m afraid to try anything else.

In my hand, I squirt 2-3 pumps of primer and then 4-6 sprays of UD all nighter setting spray on top of the primer, in that exact order. I then use a finger to gently mix. Then I smooth on wherever my makeup will be applied.

I allow to dry just a bit then brush on my foundation. Then I use the setting spray to set my foundation before putting on any other makeup. I allow it to dry for a bit and depending on how long I will be out for the day I may do a second setting.

I have used this tip for the last 5 years and it has never failed. Even on a hot NYC August day it still held true. I use minimal product, save money, and time by not having to constantly reapply makeup.

I also save clothes because I no longer get the brown ring of death on my shirts due to using the primer and setting spray combo.

I purchased this during the 21 days of beauty sale in 2021 and just finished it today. It creates a nice canvas that isn’t slippery like silicon and my foundation sits on top of it beautifully. Sometimes I can see foundation sinking into my pores but that only really happens when I use my fingers instead of a brush to apply the foundation.

My foundation doesn’t stay all day (it’ll last about 8 hours) but it almost never does anyways due to my oily T-zone. My blush, bronzer and highlighter stay on just fine though. For reference I have oily/combo skin.

My morning skincare consists of mostly Asian skincare (Glow recipe, Skinfood, Innisfree, Cosrx, etc. ) I use the Misha Perfect Cover BB cream with this primer. Hoping it’ll be in the next 21 days of beauty sale because I don’t want to pay full price haha.

I purchased the travel size of this primer. While $36 is not THAT much compared to other good primers, I am pretty cheap and did not want to spend $36 in case I hated it. I have dry skin, and this is AMAZING! If I ever forget it (rare, but happens), I cringe all day at how dry my skin is without it.

I will 100% be purchasing the full size. I have been telling my hudband for LITERAL months, “I am going to have to replace my primer this week. ” WHEN I TELL YOU this has looked empty for MONTHS and still pumps out whatever product I need.

I literally think I am being punked. It has been FLAT empty since mid-summer (maybe July?). I am newly shocked every day and once it FINALLY runs out, I will buy the full size. BTW – I use it under Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

This is officially my #1 beauty product.

I have used this primer previously & had trouble sourcing it locally to where I live. Pores & fine lines are minimised. Very smooth, long lasting effect, skin looks fresh all day. Feels breathable, non-pilling, non-caking & non-clogging.

Excellent value for money & does an excellent job! I have to say that I have tried other primers but this is by far my favourite go to one.

I have been using this for years. Firstly it is an excellent primer which takes the shine off my nose and chin as I have combination skinand secondly in the winter it gives my face a healthy look as it is slightly tinted.

In the summer I use the clear primer to take the shine away. It is also excellent value for a product that works for e.

I purchased this primer mainly due to it being so affordable and thought that i would give it a try. It did not end well for me although it went on beautifully and I had a great make up day for about an 2 hours.

I wore this from 10am until 3pm along with my usual products. By lunch time I could see some patchy/sliding areas of product so I tried to powder it down and this helped for around half an hour when my face began to melt again it actually made me look so old and like I had airbrushed myself in the first pic which I do no editing just natural sunlight.

I would not recommend this. I have normal leaning slightly oily skin type.

IšverstiShow in original languageIt Cosmetics continues to impress me with the innovation and ingenuity that goes into the formulation of their products and their new ‘Your Skin But Better Primer Oil-Free’ is no exception! It’s a multi-tasking primer that literally conquers all the tasks it claims and does so beautifully.

This formula does a spectacular job in keeping your makeup in place for hours while looking fabulous thanks to its ‘All Day Grip Technology’. My makeup looked flawless throughout the whole day without sliding or creasing and that’s a tall order to accomplish especially when that whole day was hot and humid! Impressive, to say the least!! It truly is a ‘Makeup-Gripping Base’.

In addition to that, this primer provides a moisturizing effect and helps to refine and improve the look of your pores and it only gets better with time! That’s right. Each and every time you use this product, it’s serving as a skincare treatment, as well, to improve the look and feel of your skin.

I’ve been using for almost two weeks now and I can already see improvement in overall skin tone, as well as the feel of my skin. My skin looks and feels smoother allowing my makeup to apply with greater ease too.

I can’t get enough of this primer for the obvious staying power it gives to my makeup, but also all the other skincare benefits it provides! A primer that does an excellent job in enhancing your makeup while holding in place all day, in addition to improving your skin, is what I consider an optimal primer.

That’s hard to beat, so this little treasure will definitely be a part of my daily skincare/makeup regimen moving forward!.

Transforms my complexion into an even and much brighter looking finish. Real value for money.

An excellent tool, I am very satisfied. It does its job perfectly

Primer very good. Great value.
