Powder Primer

I am not pleased with the performance of this. I have tried it under and over foundation, and actually it does nothing. It is a terrible buy for the money. The powder is too thin. It is not a primer, nor a powder to use on top of foundation. It just does not show up and do anything at all. Too pricey for what it is. Save your money.-

Hello perfect skin!

I tried applying this before foundation and after. Personally, I liked dusting the powder after my foundation. It is tricky to apply foundation over the powder because the texture appeared uneven. The trick is to apply it by swirling a kabuki or any fluffy face brush onto the powder, tapping off the excess on a flat surface (I like to use the lid of the container for this), then light-handedly, ap...read moreply it all over the face. It helps control oiliness as well. After putting it on at 9am, by 5pm I noticed 'dewiness', which would normally be an oily layer. I mainly apply it around my nose area since I have noticeable pores there, then go over the oily areas like the nose, forehead, and chin. Make sure to apply some blush or bronzer after this because your face may seem to lack dimensions (or so I experienced because my face did become flawless). If you have a naturally great skin, this can also be applied as a single layer to cover up the excess pores and oil control. I have yet to try it in the fall/winter, but so far in the summer, it's working very well!

Perfect if you don't wear foundation

I don't wear foundation, just concealer once in awhile if I need it. I apply this prior to blush, and it makes for a smooth surface for both powder and cream blushes. It keeps shine at bay really well and blurs fine lines. As far as poreless, meh, not really. Still a really good product for what I use it for.

Love it but...

Face was primed, but not poreless. It left a silky finish, I found it was better AFTER makeup, I found far superior primers. Still went through the whole container in no time, I liked it much better than Bare Minerals mineral veil, which was the standard before I found this. Will purchase this again!

Good for oily skin

I wish I could give this product a 10. I love that this product erases my oil and shine problem, but poreless? I dont think so. I have rather large pores and I don't feel this product minimizes them. It's a good buy if you have problems with oil. I found that a kabuki brush works best to apply the powder following your foundation routine. I would buy this again just for the shine control.
