Review (3/5): Meh as a primer but great for added hydration for sensitive, dry skin; OK for Normal, NOT FOR OILY
I have sensitive, combination skin. My forehead is dry, my cheeks are normal, and my nose and chin are oily. Talk about a headache... Over the years, I've been searching high and low for a "one size fits all" primer that can smooth out any dry patches, keep my natural oils at bay, and of course, be grippy so that my makeup can actually be long lasting! Unfortunately, I've yet to find one that can cater towards all of my skin's needs...this primer included.
As a primer, the product is honestly so-so. A primer, to me, needs to provide a great base for your makeup but also let your makeup be long lasting. This primer is great for sensitive, dry skin as a BASE. First off, it has the loveliest of scents and a very lightweight texture that seems to make your skin feel very fresh and bouncy. It smooths over dry patches and seems to fill it in to the point that your texture is nice and smooth. On it's own, it provides a beautiful layer of hydration and glow.
Though the hydration is nice for normal skin, I don't find it good as a primer as it can make you feel borderline oily, and that's something that I simply don't like.
For oily skin, BEWARE! This will make you look as if you have spent the day running a marathon as it has the ability to pull out all of your natural oils, even if you do set your makeup with powder!
