The Max Factor Miracle Smooth Primer comes in an attractive pump bottle. The pump made it a very easy product to use and I found that one pump was the perfect amount of primer for a single application.
I applied the primer after cleansing and moisturizing my face. I then applied a foundation over the primer. The primer went on very smooth and has a nice silky feeling. It felt very lightweight on my skin and suitable for daily use.
I used the primer under the matching Max Factor foundation and under a Clinique foundation and found that my both foundations looked smoother than using it without a primer. I am in my 30's and have some fine lines as well as uneven skin from acne pit scarring from when I was in my 20's and the primer made a noticeable difference on both of these issues.
I really liked this primer and would totally use it again and again! I am also one of those people who don't normally bother with primer (eek naughty) so this primer has shown me the light! It really does make your skin look much more flawless.
After recieving the advice about 2 years ago from BR to prime, I tried and was converted. My skin is oily/combination and when I recieved this primer to trial it was with the Max Factor foundation. Using both, I got fantastic coverage which lasted all day. Then I took a deep breath and tried the foundation with no primer (shock horror)! On application, I had to use more foundation especially over my nose, which has its own pore issues. Took longer to apply as well. At the end of the day (having done everything else the same including setting spray) while there was coverage, it wasn't as good, so definitely didn't have the lasting power as when using the primer.
The primer itself is odourless white cream and one full pump is the perfect amount for my face to get complete coverage.
This is one of the best primers I have used and is priced accordingly.
Tips: Use a full pump for the perfect amount required.
