I decided to try this as I suffer from large pores on my nose from time to time and I had read positive reviews.
It suprised me how thick this primer is and that it is a pinky/peach colour but it does blend out nicely to give a invisible matte finish. It does apply thick so you may need a lot of product to cover your whole face if you have dry skin like myself. I mainly use this on my nose as that is the problem area.
The packaging could be better. There is so much air at the top of the tube that when you squeeze the tube the primer shoots out in clumps.
It does blur pores and feels smooth and weightless on but I find it a bit fiddly to use and would rather use my regular hourglass primer to cover my whole face. I only use this now if my pores are particulary large.
I do recommend this product but for targeting specific areas like your nose or chin rather then using it as a full face primer as the price tag of $24.95 makes it expensive for this purpose.
I really persisted with this as I had heard great things about NYX primers. I tried it with 3 different foundations and still got the same result. The first thing I noticed was that it’s hard to get out of the tube it seemed to come out in little bits and I felt I had to use so much to cover my face. It did fill in my pores really well and felt good on the skin, I also felt that my foundation looked really good when applied over the top but unfortunately that lasted for about an hour. It started to come apart and left my face looking patchy and very shiny. I think I paid around $15-$20 and considering how much I’ve had to use on each application I don’t think it’s value for money as there are other primers that perform better for around the same price.
