    Makes u look like a ghost if overapplied but if underapplied how effective is it? One star for the pleasant smell and one for the zinc oxide..JI needs to rethink this product for sure

    This is my favorite primer so far. Yes it takes getting use to. I apply ONLY to the spots I want to minimize my pores using a foundation brush. It takes VERY little and feels great on my skin, I...

    I'm afraid I did not like this at all. Couldn't apply it well enough to my skin. Made me look quite ghosty and greasy. Didn't 'get' this product at all. Disappointed as JI products are...

    Ehhhhh I'm still on the fence for this product. I've been using it for a couple of days, each time trying a different application technique. I have only been using a VERY small amount of the primer...

    I am really on the fence with this product. At first I didn't love it enough to keep using it, and thought it smelled like waxy old lady makeup, so it sat in my kit for a couple years. I've worn...

    It does its job as oil control primer. Also good for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The only primer, I believe, that doesn't break me out. The problem I have on this is that the primer CAN look...

    I apply Absense with a foundation brush on my t-zone before I apply the JI Pure Pressed foundation. It really helps to mattify any shine and creates a smooth canvas for me to apply my foundation. I...
