Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
This primer makes makeup sit flat and grip nicely on dry skin, and reviewers praise how smoothly it applies and feels on the face. The main thing to know is that it does not hold makeup quite as long as some heavier-duty primers on the market, and most would not expect a full 24-hour wear. Using it just where you need it most (around the mouth, chin, or between the brows) works well, though an even application across the whole face may give the best results.
