It is a tinted primer (02),quite thick so doesn't spread easily and it has a slight fragrance; which I don't mind. I like how it has hight spf in it but over time it didn't matter so much to me,...

Sadly this did not work for me, mainly because of the color. It's very cool/peachy and I'm very warm/yellow so we do not go together. The lightest shade is light enough for me (NC15), just the...

Update: Stopped using this since I'm still gearing towards easier to blend and smoother finish primers. This tends to clog pores and feels quite heavy on the skin. Although this may be perfect for...

I bought this when I ran out of my Clinique City Block and wanted to try something different. I was after a primer with SPF (i'm from Australia, so this is a must), and this was one of the few that...

I had a few samples of this in colour 02 - looked a bit light for me (NC35) but the colour was minimal it seems. Did help with foundation application, and stopped me from oxidising which is my...

I've tried so many primers and while some do their job, the P&J primer alone instantly makes my skin look amazing! Once I apply this, I get this beautiful glow and my skin looks more even, almost...

I got a P&J makeup base with spf40 recently. I think it's the latest addition to its primer family. It is thicker than most Japanese sunscreen, hence requires a fair bit of amount to cover the...

This is a great daily SPF 30 product. There's a slight beigy tint but it's not visible once it's applied. The texture is rich without being greasy at all. It's more comfortable than any other UV...

I like this product because it doesn't make my face look shiny like moisturizers with SPF do. I wouldn't say it's runny, though, maybe the consistency varies? All in all a good product that makes...

A very nice sunscreen/primer! This is very similar to the Clarins UV 40 but is less expensive and doesn't break me out if I wear it every day (Clarins will break me out after about a week). Also,...
