Smooth Dewy Look
I’m a professional Makeup Artist and this is a great primer for the dewy look. I wouldn’t recommend it for matte but for a glowy dewy look it provides a smooth blended texture. If you want satin you might be able to achieve that with adding powder after the primer but I’ve never tried that since I stick with dewy.I had been searching for some time for a natural alternative for my skin because as an artist I have to wear makeup almost everyday and I didn’t want to keep putting chemicals on my face everyday. I prefer the dewy look on myself and this works great for that and having clean ingredients on my skin.I don’t use primers as moisturizers. That’s not what they are so that’s not their specialty unless the product states that it’s a 2-in-1 of a moisturizer and a primer. Otherwise all primers are only that; a primer, not a moisturizer. So I moisturize, allow my moisturizer to absorb into my skin for a few minutes and then apply the primer right before foundation and/or concealer. You also want to let the moisturizer absorb a bit first so that it doesn’t alter the consistency/job of the primer; which is to smooth the skin’s surface allowing for a more blended and natural makeup application.

Great!!! But a couple noteworthy factors
The serum/cream itself works SO well for me. Has an odd smell when applying, but not a big deal for what I’m getting out of it. I will say that the plastic dispensing bit of the bottle shattered on the second use and then the contents went bad rather quickly. Really disappointing after spending 20 bucks. I very much wish the container was made with better quality materials but can certainly recommend the product as long as you’re careful while dispensing.

SMELLS RANCID LIKE PAST EXPERATION DATE
I loved the product works great, but smelled so I purchased a second bottle, the smell is also horrible like old makeup that has turned rancid so I guess that’s the real smell, I will gag and use it because product works so well, I’m willing to for go perfume smell as product is natural and made in USA. BUT PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT SMELL!

Update: wanted to love it
Just got this foundation primer and was super stoked to try it! I just used it on my bare skin (I used moisturizer this morning) and I like the way it feels, smells very clean, dries matte so we’ll see how this works with foundation. Update to follow.Update:Really wanted to love this 🙁 I use all-natural/organic foundation and skincare so of course I wanted to try this and love it. It honestly made my face look greasier at the end of the day and didn’t do my makeup any justice. Didn’t fill up my pores or fine lines…. it’s not really doing much of anything, really, and I’m sincerely disappointed. I didn’t use any today and my makeup truly looked more in-tact and less of my oils came though.1 star for being natural.So sad this didn’t work for me :(My skin was shiny even after a few hours of it being on my bare face..
