    This product is a joke. What a gimmick and I fell for it. Luckily I could return it. The packaging looks cools and I like the pump and that was it. It made my face have a green cast even blended in...

    Awful. I should have researched this before I bought it. It made me break out so bad and it does absolutley nothing. Do not buy!

    For a higher-priced drugstore primer this is just... Not worth it. No discernible color correction, doesn't dry matte, makes all face products look cakey.

    I loved the eye catching colours within the primer and curious to see how the colours could help cover redness. I did not see a real difference in my skin using this primer and actually felt it...

    This is an average primer. It makes my makeup last longer but doesn't do much color correcting for the redness/ scarring on my skin. The smell doesn't bother me, and I like that it has a pump.
