Decent base product.

With my reactive skin, I avoid using alot of cosmetics and only use this for special occasions, when I want a more polished full makeup face. I haven't noticed any flairups after using it.

Nice

Very nice primer. Goes on smooth and absorbs quickly. I use it under JI pressed powder for a polished finish. or alone for a glow. Pleasant scent too. I give 4 stars because I think the price is a bit steep, but I do recommend this product.

Good Primer

I got a sample of this primer when I purchased from Lovely Skin and really liked it. When I purchased the full sized product it was good but not great. I am 64 with some fine lines and it seems to make my wrinkles and fine lines more pronounced. It feels great on my skin but I was hoping it would blur my wrinkles not make them stand out. I would not recommend for mature skin but I think it’s a good product for younger skin.

Primer for dry-combo skin

Received a trial size, really liked it and bought a full size. A small amount is all you need to smooth on dry areas and center of face. Works very well with mineral SPF and water based foundations, no pilling. The shimmer is very subtle!

Great Hydrating Primer

I love the soft glow this primer leaves while also hydrating. I use foundation with sunscreen, but would like the added protection in a primer also.

Mattifying primer

I have mixed feelings when it comes to primers. In fairness this has been an incredibly humid hot summer and everything melts off my face even with primer and spray setter. This has the consistency of water. It goes on smoothly and is instantly absorbed into my skin. My pores do appear minimized and skin more even toned when I apply this. I do like the way it looks, however I am not sure that it really mattifies for any length of time or really prolongs or improves the adherence of make up - either liquid or powder. I want my make up to be completely invisible, I don’t want to see anything in my pores. I am not sure it does that completely, but on its own it does make the skin look better. It’s fairly expensive, so I might explore other primer samples I have before deciding on whether to repurchase.

Not disappointed, not excited

I like Jane Iredale products! This is a good product also. I probably won’t order it again, though. It does an ok job, but my skin has been around for 70 years and seems to need a touch more.

Wanted to love

I really wanted to love this. I received as a sample and loved it, so I purchased a full size. Unfortunately, it caused breakouts, so I had to stop using it. The product itself is very light and feels great. It also does its job as a makeup primer.

Nice primer

I like this primer, but I need to use so much at a time because my face absorbs it quickly. Feels too dry if I use as instructed. I need to use about 3x as much. I like it though, and will buy again in the summer months when my skin is not so dry.

Glady

Very easy to apply - melts in and gives a nice matte finish to my foundation - eliminates need for finishing powder.

Does the job

This is a pretty decent face primer and I only use it with Jane Iredale products. Not sure about the brightness benefits, but very smoothing.

Nice Primer

I had heard this primer was 1 to try . I liked how it went on and it does make your foundation go on nicely. Doesn't settle in your pores. I don't wear makeup everyday but I will put this on before my sunscreen. Makes your face non shiney. Would purchase again.

Extends makeup wear

Nice primer that helps makeup last longer. Slight blurring effect. Do not love that it's scented. When first applied, my face reddens, which concerns me a bit. One of the botanical ingredients, maybe. Will probably not repurchase.

It's ok

It's a good price for the amount of product. I do like Tacha primer a bit better, but it's too expensive.

Good for dry skin

Works surprisingly well. Goes on more like a moisturizer, however holds makeup in place. It’s not sticky, waxy or dry feeling like many primers.. I haven’t tried in in the blaze of summer yet, so we’ll see how it holds up. I do have mature skin on the dryer side.

I like it if I remember to use it!

The primer is a nice product, but you have to remember to use it. After eye cream, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen, it is an added layer. But it is clean and matte and smells great.

Subtle and clean

This product works exactly as advertised - creates a smooth base layer for make-up. I sometimes use by itself just to get a very subtle correcting “glow” - Best part is that this product doesn’t aggravate my rosacea or cause any upset to my sensitive skin and eyes!
