"That's probably the biggest benefit I get from it. But I have other primers that do that for me without irritating my skin. Combined with the fact that I don't really see any of the smoothing or blurring it claims, that makes it a pass for me. I did a split face test, and I didn't feel like I saw a difference between the two sides. I actually asked editor Emily that day whether she saw a difference, and she did not."

"I personally really like this Milani Conceal and Perfect Blur Out Smoothing Primer. The reason that I like it so much is because it's very moisturizing, but it does do a good job blurring. [...] I think it's worth a shot. [...] It's kind of cool to the touch. [...] This is like particularly good if you have combination skin because typically those blurring primers just they'll tend to like cling or make your skin like a little too dry."

"I'm iffy on it just because I've had, I feel like I've been burned so many times by blurring primers. But I'm interested, and I at the very least appreciate that it feels a little bit innovative. It feels like something. The scoop is this tiny little scoop, but they put it right in the little cap, which I think is fantastic. It's shielded because it's inside, and I think that's great."

"What I like about this off the bat is how lightweight it feels. You know how a lot of the silicone primers feel very heavy even though they're very effective and they make the skin look flawless? This has almost a watery feel to it which is nice. I really like that. [...] I really like how lightweight it feels. [...] It really smooths things out and it feels like it's not sitting on top of the skin, which makes me excited because I wasn't sure how it was going to perform underneath foundation."
