Good but....

I've purchased the base matifiante (mattifying primer) because I have oily skin. I first used sample that I found in a magazine and was amazed at how it really soaked up oil and made my skin almost dry before applying my make up. I purchased the full size version and I'm not really sure whats happening. I think it either doesn't work well with my moisturizer or I'm not waiting long enough for it t...read moreo dry before applying because whenever I add it, it flakes and peels right off. I tried mixing a little with my CC Cream (don't do that) but that didn't help. I'll try to use less of the product and maybe a lighter moisturizer and then I'll try again.

Keeps my foundation looking perfect all day

I have this in blue, pink and green and I use them all. To be honest, I don't see much in the way of color correcting but I use it every day because it's just a super solid base for applying foundation seamlessly -- and keeping it matte and in place all day.

Didn't notice much difference

I have this in green to hide redness. I did not notice much of a difference when using it versus not - it does not add much to my routine.

It's alright

I'm not sure if it's because the shade I chose is not a match for my skin tone but I didn't notice any skin equalizing effect. If there were any, it was very minimal. Overall, it's a pretty average primer.
