STEP 1 - Podkladová báze

Amazing! I was super scared to step out and use this, especially when I saw it was green but it works amazing! I have super red and splotchy skin and this helps equal out the redness. I am so much more confident when wearing makeup because of this redness correcter.

IT WORKS

I’ve been trying it out for the last few days and WOW! My skin has a lot of redness. Usually I remedy this by foundation and concealer. I used the Step 1 Primer and not only did I have to use less foundation and concealer, but overall the redness in my skin reduced! This primer evened my skin tone, smoothed everything out, soothed my skin, and smelled AMAZING! It also helped my make up last longer than normal!

I absolutely love this primer but I don’t think it’s worth it for the price point and the amount you get for it. I think a cheaper dupe for this would be the wet and wild primer or maybe even the ELF primer for those looking for it.

I recieved this primer from Makeup Forever and Influenster for free to try and review. I've always struggled with redness and it showing through even when I have a full face of makeup on. This primer fixed my redness, smoothed out my complexion and help my makeup stay in place!

its okay I have a DUPE!

I bought the small version because i saw so many reviews for this product. However i have worn this 2 times and the first time i wore it alone... its did a fine job of keeping my oils at bay but it made my pores appear a little bigger. The second time i tried it i used it on one side of my face and the other side i used the dupe : Rimmel stay matte primer . The rimmel one made me more matte kept me from getting oily and made my pores look smaller almost nonexistent. It has that creamy white texture like the MUFE too!

very mattifying

The Smoothing Primer goes on VERY matte, enough so that it left my fairly oily skin looking dull. It has a slight tint to it that was nice (for lighter skin tones) - if the texture had worked for me, I would have been able to skip foundation.

favourite oily skin primer

love love love this on days my skin is feeling extra oily. goes great under my makeup forever foundation. Literally feels like it absorbs all the excess oil in my skin making for a good base for my foundation. My favourite primer next to their smoothing primer.

difficult application

i have extremely oily skin and was directed to this by a sephora employee. while it does work with keeping your skin matte, it makes your foundation look SO cakey. my foundation is already on the more unnatural looking/full coverage side, so this doesn’t help at all. it pills when rubbing it in. after trying multiple application techniques i have given up. i just wouldn’t waste your money with this one!

This is the best primer that I have ever used. I have really oily skin, and just putting this on my skin alone makes my face look and feel so much better.

Amazing for no foundation days

This primer is my favorite for no foundation days. I have redness and acne scarring so when I don't wear foundation I like to put something on my face to even out tone and smooth texture. This primer is slightly tinted and it smooths, mattifies and color corrects just enough for me to feel confident without foundation. This primer plus a light dusting of setting powder is a perfect combination for me on days when I work and am wearing a mask for 8 to 12 hours. I haven't tried this one under liquid foundations so I can't speak to the claim that it extends makeup wear time, but it lasts beautifully all day on it's own! Will definitely repurchase.

Dry and cakey

This is my lease fave primer I’ve ever tried. Got a sample and used twice. Under liquid makeup it looks flaky and cakey. Very drying and tight on skin. I had to remove liquid makeup and reapply this looked so bad.

Zklamání

Od tohoto výrobku jsem očekávala rozjasnění a extra hydrataci. Bohužel musím říci, že ani jedno má pleť nezažila, ale může to být tím, že má pleť je neustále žíznivá, i když pleť pro nanesení makeupu řádně připravím. Takže pokud máte normální pleť, tak vám hydratace asi bude připadat dostačující. Nicméně tento primer v sobě nemá malé rozjasňující částečky jako třeba MAC Strobe Cream, tak je s ním nutné počítat. Po nanesení byla má pleť spíše sjednocená tak nějak do oranžova, což bylo ok, ale rozhodně ne, co jsem od výrobku očekávala. Kvalitní výrobek, ale pro mé potřeby nevyhovující.
