When I saw this I thought it was genius! I understood the concept straight away about how green counteracts red on the colour wheel so without thinking I bought it!
I tried it the next day, the packaging is a bit naff, just a squeezy bottle and at the price of about £12 I thought they could do slightly better anyway I applied this all over my face paying particular attention to my areas of redness, around my nose, blemishes etc but it didn't eliminate them so I put more and more on until I looked grey, some of the product got stuck into my hair, to put it shortly if you have a good enough foundation you shouldn't need a colour calming primer just stick to the green concealer stick x

i bought this product when i had a £5 off voucher. I've used a fair few green colour correctors as i get red patches on my skin. This one did not work well for me at all. It went on really cakey and did not blend into my skin at all. i think it's better if you just use a tiny bit to cover a small spot, i wasn't able to blend it in a larger area. Ended up throwing most of the bottle away.

$9.99 seemed like a great price at target, especially since i was gonna buy the makeup forever green primer for over $30. but this does not do anything my redness. i have plenty of acne so that means plenty of redness, and slight redness around my nose. okay maybe it reduces redness by a LITTLE, but it didnt meet up with my expectations. you need to apply alot for it to turn green/grey-ish. the tint goes away easily with foundation over it. the product is a bit runny and i can see why people complain abou the packaging. its a squeeze out tube and when you open the cap some product can run out. im gonna keep continue using this because it works good underneath makeup forever hd but i would not repurchase...

I have an uneven skin tone with red discoloration around my nose and on my cheeks and a few blemishes here and there. When I first heard about these green correctors I couldn't help but be intrigued. I found myself buying this one after getting a voucher for no7 products; I figured that for almost half the price it was worth trying out. I don't usually bother with using a primer, especially since my sunscreen functions perfectly well as one, but I wanted to see if this would do something about the redness. Well, it did nothing. If I apply a lot it may just slightly lighten the redness on my cheeks, but I find I start looking a bit yellow if I use that much. The packaging is not so great too- I find I have to store it upside down otherwise the product leaks out into the lid. However it doesn't break me out and it does make my makeup go on nice and smoothly. So as a primer it functions pretty well. I just wish it would color correct, like it says it does on the packaging.

Piece of crap broke me out! no help with the redness at all! If you blend it out, the green pigmentation disappears which totally defeats the purpose of having a green-tinted primer! GRRRRRR!!!!! Don't waste your money!

Basically, not the best packaging, as I find it always squirts out too little, or more often than not, far too much. Also, I find that rubbing it in isn't the most fantastic experience - it doesn't have that smooth, gliding quality of clear primers (that initially I found plastic-y, but have now grown to love). On top of that, I have very VERY dry, acne prone skin (a very annoying combo) so I find when I put foundation on top of this, there is a slight flaky quality, and it means the foundation doesn't sink in properly - but I know that is just because of my skin type, not the product. Use it like you would expect and the result is alright - pretty good, but not your life-changing make-up product.

However, I literally couldn't live without this product because ages ago I discovered a fab use for it and figured I would share instead of just getting ideas from other makeupalley reviewers. I have pretty yellow undertoned skin (part Asian), and nearly all the reasonable foundations out there are too orange, or, mostly, have too much of a pink underbase - leaving horrid tide-marks. (I used to live in Chanel Vitalumiere which I loved but it is just too expensive for the amount I went through a year!) Anyway, mix this stuff in with any standard (eg. rimmel, maybbeline, l'oreal) foundation (as much or as little as you want - I need quite a lot of coverage some days, and less on others) before you apply it, and VOILA, all pink undertone gone! Its better than mixing foundations because all foundations have the same essential undertones - pink for lighter colours, orange for darker colours. And I have yet to buy the purple one to correct sallowness, but I will be doing so, because I am sure it will have the same effect!

I've got the green primer, cause I have a really uneven skin tone.
With this I hardly need any, it blended seamlessy into my skin. It didn't do loads for the redness, but it did make it slightly lessen.

What I love most about this is how smooth my skin is afterwards! Foundation just applies beautifully over it.

If you use too much by the end of the day you might have a greyish tone to your face, but a pea sized amount does me.

The packaging it awful though, looks nice, but so much product is stuck in the lid and leaks out. What a waste..

Overall, a good primer, just not necessarily a great colour corrector.

At first when I bought this it was nice and I didn't break out. It took a week and I had pimples all over my face. I bought this in purple and, besides the few bruise-like marks when I didn't rub it fully in, it didn't do much to help brighten my complexion. I also didn't like that this tugged at my skin when I tried to rub it in. It was awful to rub in! It worked like a primer though and my foundation lasted all day. That's the only positive thing about this primer. Which is a funny thing because most primers just don't work for me.

Over all: If you aren't acne prone and don't mind a primer that's hard to rub in, then you'll like this.

I brought the purple version of this product "corrects sallow complexions" about a year ago, and promptly forgot about it. Silly me. It does just what it says. My complexion looks bright + glowy, I don't like to wear foundation, I've never been able to figure out how to make it look natural enough, so I love experimenting with primers and some powder. This really does the trick. Dare I say I prefer it to my beloved YSL apricot primer? Not sure, but for the price, it can't be beat. If its still around at Target, try it in place of your foundation on a weekend. I hope you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was!

As this is the first primer I have baught, I don't have anything to compare it to. But I noticed straight away how well it cancelled out the red patches on my skin, I barely had to use any concealer after I used it.
It went on smoothly, I had no problems applying it, although I had to make sure not to use too much around my nose area as it left a slight green tint in my skin if I did!
Definately worth it for the price, it does what it claims.
