I'm sad to see people don't like this product, because it has actually become a holy grail of mine. It was a complete impulse buy, so I didn't expect much from it (I usually research all my purchases)...Read more

I believe this is the primer you're looking for if your skins is only slightly oily but if your face is suuuuuuper oily (like mine) this does not work! Doesn't even make my face matte to begin with ne...Read more

I am scoring this low because I am not sure of the purpose of this product. I can't use it under my foundation, as it makes it roll off and applies patchy. There is no smooth feel to it the way you wo...Read more

I had high hopes for this as got it for $20 here in Australia, so it is bit pricey considering its only 15ml. I use 2 pumps of it, it feels great, blends well & dries quick but unfortunately when I ap...Read more

I thought I would love this product, I had high hopes as I find the Bourjois range to be quite nice. However, this primer was a huge disappointment. When you first apply the primer to the face it is a...Read more

The first reason why I love this primer it's because it doesn't break me out, at all. I have very sensitive skin. And it feels very light when applied on skin, after it has set. It has a powdery sort ...Read more

It doesn't control oil production at all. I have dry combination skin and this makes my pores look even bigger on dry areas of my face, not to mention it doesn't minimise pores on oil areas either. Th...Read more

At first, I loved the feel of this primer. It felt really light on the skin and easy to apply. However, if you rub it in too much it kind of flakes away or forms little balls of product. I have tried...Read more
