Overall:
I was not very impressed by this primer overall. The packaging is actually gorgeous and I love it. BUT it’s not functional. It is a hard shell case with the clear part being a thicker more flexible plastic that you use to kind of massage the product out, and it is impossible to get the last of the product. With a tube I literally take scissors to it and cut it open and scrape out the remaining product. you can’t do that with this. And because it doesn’t store upside down the product doesn’t go near the opening naturally so it is hard to actually use it up.
It does fill in fine lines, wrinkles and pores to give a soft finish. It also has a slight tint, so if you don’t like foundation and just want the poreless look this would be a good option for you. But a little doesn’t go a particularly long way. I used more than I expected to need to.Unfortunately the biggest let down was the actual priming, which is to say, does it work well with foundation over it. I couldn’t find a single liquid foundation that worked well with it. I actually felt like my foundations lasted longer on their own than with this primer. I just wouldn’t recommend it.
