This would be my favourite primer. It makes your skin feel so silky smooth. I believe it does extend my makeup and makes it much nicer to put on. I'm not sure about redness though. The only reason I wouldn't 100% recommend is due to the price, but a mini is totally worth it

Reviews
I've been using this primer for over a year now and would easily rate it one of the best I've tried (and there are plenty!). The texture of your skin after applying this is silky smooth and it helps your foundation to sit lightly without caking. I usually use all day foundations, so I'm not sure if this helps with the foundation sitting nicely all day or not, but it certainly stops the cakiness that you sometimes get later in the day.
Tips: Give yourself plenty of time to apply this and dry before your foundation goes on.
Best primer I have ever used for longwear at big events or for long work days.
A beautiful smooth, velvet feeling formula. Has a small hint of blue in the undertone that helps colour correct the skin - it's almost not noticeable unless you pay close attention before applying foundation over top!
Helps soften the appearance of pores, fine lines and smooths the skin creating a more flawless base before applying makeup.
Tips: I love the concentrate this through my Tzone area to create a longwear effect that will help smooth larger pores on my nose and chin. That way you're not wasting product all over the face on areas where makeup doesn't wear off quickly anyway.
I love this primer, it really does what it says and extends the life of my foundation. I love the silky feel and you don’t need a lot, which is good because it is expensive.
Tips: Sephora sells the mini size - try it, you’ll love it!
To be honest, I love this in winter but in summer it is a disaster. The formulation is beautiful, doesn’t feel siliconey (is that a word?) and just sit beautifully over my moisturiser!! But in summer, EVERYTHING just falls off my face !! Makeup starts separating etc. it’s good to use a water based primer with a water based product or vice versa which I did, but still no luck !! I would recommend but just not for oily skin.
