Revlon primer

Ths is my favourite primer! It feels amazing when applied and makes your makeup last so much longer than any other primer I have ever used. It comes in very cute packaging and lasts quite a long time. I wear makeup 4-5 days out of a week and it has lasted me since October-ish. The only downside that I have found with this is that it is quite expensivee compared to other primers. I just suggest that whenyou see it on sale, stock up while you can because it is an amazing product!

Revlon Primer

I got this free because I bought a foundation and something else that was Revlon so I thought i'd try it. I find that it makes my foundation (also Revlon) go on patchy and the only real benefit I see from the primer is that it makes my concealer work better (which is a MAC one). I haven't noticed it making my foundation last any longer so far. I've never used primer before, but after using this one I don't really see the fuss about primers? I guess I'll need to try some more to really tell what's so great about them.

not too bad at all

well, this is my first proper "primer" I've bought...the others were "makeup bases"...its pretty good. got mine from the chemist in town. I've used it with each of my foundations and BB cream and it seems to be pretty good. I don't have anything to compare it too so I can't say it's a bad product. I wouldn't say it's very moisturising so I do need to give my face a good dose of moisturiser before applying. not sure how much to apply so I just apply one pump. not sticky, not slimy, absorbs into the skin...so I like it!!

Great primer! Not so great packaging!

I really enjoy this primer. This is the first one I ever purchased and found it works well at making my make up last.

Only negative I have is that the packaging is horrid, my lid would never stay on (which is a minor) but now that I have gotten down to under half left the pump seems to not be able to reach? Which is frustrating! Although I have had it for a while and the product has lasted ages! I probably wont repurchase because of the packaging.

Pretty good primer

I got given this for christmas and it was the first primer I had ever used. It went on smooth and made a great base for my foundation as I had quite uneven skin. I don't think it prolonged the wear of my foundation or minimized the appearance of my pores which is what I really wanted it for. You really don't need too much to cover your whole face, I really liked that it had a pump as one pump was enough and it wasn't a guessing game about how much I needed. The thing I didn't like about it was that the primer dried up in the pump really quickly which caused the primer to squirt out everywhere

Tips: You only need a little bit!

Some dismantling required...

I grabbed this primer on special on Amazon (woohoo, $5 primer!), I brought it trying to find a new primer that I could use daily, unfortunately, this is not it.

The primer product looks impressive in its cute wee bottle, but that is about where the functionality of getting this product out ends. I don't have an issue until you get to the end of the bottle, trying to get that last little bit out is near impossible unless you want to smash it open to retrieve it!

The primer itself was really nice on the skin and goes on smoothly but for a silicone based primer, I expected it to blur my pores a bit more.

I'm in 2 minds, yes it was worth the $5 I paid for it, but unfortunately, I won't be purchasing it again because of the bottle issue and it not being as blurring as I hoped.

Decent Primer

This primer leaves a nice satin matte finish and I feel like it does some blurring. Makeup goes on nicely over top and makes the makeup last a decent amount of time. I would repurchase this primer.

Tips: Don't use too much

Used to love

I really used to like this primer, but recently, halfway through the bottle, it's started not working as well as it used to. I put it on lightly, blend it in, put Revlon foundation or BB cream on, then the primer starts showing white around my nose and eyebrows and lips. I try to blend that in and it just almost separates about an hour later anyway. It did work really well and smoothed my skin and m foundation sat on it really well in the first days I had it, but now I've had to move on. Also, it does not work with any other brands at all. Works best with Revlon products.

Workable

First off, I really like the packaging for this product. It sits nicely on my makeup counter looking sleek and has a pump dispenser! so much easier to get exactly what I want out but the downside is it doesn't save much product as the nozzle has a tendency to clog if not used for a few days which means wasting a pump to clear it properly. The primer itself is fairly thick so you do need to work with it quickly to get a smooth finish or it will just peel up if over worked. It definitely reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines when applied correctly and helps to blur imperfections, at first I didn't notice much so I took a photo with one side of my face primed and the other without which showed a noticeable difference. I'd probably get this product again to keep on hand as a back up or to give my skin a change but I wouldn't pay full price or recommend it for someone who wants something easy to throw on under foundation.

Photoready Primer

I'm not sure if this primer actually does much for me. It makes my skin very smooth and soft but for evening out skintone I'm not entirely sure if it does too much. I was told when I brought it it would even redness etc, It doesn't do this too well. However I use it as a base for my foundation as my skin is quite dry and I find if I put foundation straight on moisturizer my skin has a dry look to it, but with this primer inbetween I get a much smoother finish so would recommend for this reason.

Tips: I have dry skin and it works for me, definetly try before you buy!
