First Impressions:

When I first used this product I found it very weird I wasn't sure how to apply it or how much I needed. 

The first couple of times I used it I applied way to much and my face looked white as a ghost; and when I took pictures with flash I had a white cast which I wasn't happy about. 

Formula:

It's a thick consistency but after you get use to it it's very easy to work with. 

It dries pretty quickly but it's not drying to the face. 

In the picture below I used a lot of product so you would be able to see the consistency of the product. 

Quick Tip:

You only need a couple of drops of this stuff to apply on your face; trust me.

I normally apply half a pump.  

If you use to much of this product you will get that white cast (see picture below)

Overall:

After using this primer for over a month I have fallen in love with it. 

It leaves my face matte just like it claims and I feel like it prepares it for the foundation. 

Especially when I have break outs I feel like after applying this it evens out the area so when I apply foundation it's a little smoother and the foundation doesn't cake up that area. 

I quickly got over the problem I had with taking pictures with flash simply by using less product. 

When I take pictures my skin looks clear and very smooth.

I think this primer does just what it claims because I have a lot of fine lines from my smile on my cheeks and this does a great job at minimizing it. 

(For a close up on my face while using this product check out this post; I didn't want to re post the same picture)

I give it a 4 out of 5. 

I try to share as much information as possible when I review a product and I hope you found the definitions at the beginning helpful; I wasn't sure what one of the words meant and I don't feel comfortable using a word I don't even know what it means so I hope it was all very helpful.

If you have any questions on this product please feel free to ask & if you've used this primer before what did you think of it!?
