Looked good for an hour...
Then my face turned into a greasy looking mess! Right after I applied it my face looked smooth and my pores were filled in. But later, it was terrible. Worse than if I hadn't used any primer! I definitely wouldn't buy this again. — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

Nice
I had heard good things about this primer so I was excited to get a deluxe sample of this as a gift with purchase from a Sephora order. One downside for me is that this comes in a jar, so you have to stick your finger into the jar which isn't as sanitary as a tube or a pump. I was also surprised by the amount that I had to use to cover the areas of my face that need priming (t-zone). Apart from that, the application was really nice. It felt smooth and silky on my face and filled in my fine lines and pores. This was definitely effective at making my face makeup last through a long day. Wearing a light coverage foundation, my skin still looked airbrushed, even hours after application. For $32, you receive half an ounce of product. Benefit's POREfessional works in a very similar way to this and it costs $30 for three quarters of an ounce. The packaging is also more sanitary. Having tried both, I would purchase the full size of Benefit's primer instead of this. Per ounce, this Clarins primer is even more expensive than my absolute favorite primer, Hourglass Mineral Veil, yet it doesn't have the same amount of benefits and uses more product per application. I am glad I got to try this and will enjoy using the rest of my sample jar, but will continue using other primers that are less pricey per ounce and easier to use. — 4 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Smooth as a baby's bottom!
I was shocked that the price was so reasonable, being a Clarins product! Just a very little of this goes a long way! I loved the way it felt and how it helped out my makeup! A must have! — 5 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 2 people said helpful
