This settled into the creases around my nose and under my lip causing my foundation to separate and look very patchy and dry in those areas like my skin was flaking off. Initially, I thought it...

This makes my pores look nonexistent under my foundation. It feels silky, and has a matte finish. My skin tends to be on the dry side but this does not emphasize dry spots.

I'm surprised at the relatively low rating this product has on here, because I think I've found my HG primer. Holy smokes it's done wonders for my make-up! I've been using this with NARS All Day...

As a primer it works fine and keeps my makeup last through the day, but it doesn't do anything special to my pores. It gets absorbed quickly and it doesn't feel greasy.

As a whole, I like this primer. I don't really have any real problems with my pores, so I didn't fixate on its "pore-refining" promise when I used this. I don't think this is a new HG, but I was...

I believe this was my first Nars purchase. The description says it uses minerals to refine the appearance of skin and control oil but it isn't thick enough to make a smooth base for my foundation. ...

I didn't see any difference in my pores using this primer. My makeup did stay on longer than without using a primer, but I would hope that being a primer this would be a given. For the price - it...

I normally wear a full face of makeup and lately I've not been happy with my results, I felt my makeup looked a bit faded by the end of the day and not really as polished as I'd like. Also, I'm...

The only redeeming factor about this primer is that the formula is nice and feels smooth gliding on - after that it's all downhill! I don't notice any difference in pore reduction and the longevity...

I was really disappointed in the quality of this product. Nars has pretty good makeup but this was just terrible. A primer is supposed to leave you matte right ? Now why does this primer cause my...

Well, this was a bit disappointment. It is my first NARS product and it makes me sad that it's not as good as I've expected. I use it for the areas on my face that tend to be oily and therefore my...

This is an okay face primer, not the best though. It didn't really do anything to my skin to make it smooth but I did like that it was refreshing and light on my skin. I will not be buying it again...
