not a paid post

im so happy with this primer. its one of the best ive ever used. my skin is dry i wear little make up as I am 40 yrs old now .. ive noticed less is better if you dont want your fine lines showing . but this you can wear without any make up at all and my skin looks so pretty.

It's Never Too Late! A Must Have for Oily Skin!

Omg I can't believe that I've been doing my makeup without this Primer!! It is Amazing!!!.. The packaging looks very simple online but once in hand you can truly appreciate the design. It's heavy which I love..because it's feels more luxurious + expensive. The formula is Everything!!!..It feels like moisturizer when applying but it's clearly not. My foundation was looking flawless and my oil was under control. I love this product♡

Amazing for mineral sunscreen wearers!

Ladies and gentlemen listen up! If you have combo oily/acne prone skin and prefer to use a mineral sunscreen in your routine then this primer is totally for you! Pairs so well with my sunscreen and makes my makeup application look flawless, I wear double wear Estée Lauder foundation and it actually makes me use less foundation when paired with this primer! Makeup stays in place all day even with a mask! 10/10 recommend. Normally I use milk pro grip primer but it was sold out so that was my...

All three Fenty primer comparison review

I have all three Fenty primers. I've worn the hydrating primer with the hydrating foundation, and I feel like my face looks way too moist and shiny, and I have to really go in with the setting powder to tone down the shine. I've used the matte primer with the Fenty matte foundation, and my face feels so dry that I don't need setting powder, and it's uncomfortably dry. THIS primer can be used with both hydrating and mattifying Fenty foundations, and when I wear this primer, the hydrating...

CaliClaudia Apr 27, 2020

This primer is a good one. The only thing I do not like about is the bottle. Right now my primer has more than half of the product still inside . However it's so difficult to get an descent amount out of it! So I would not buy it no more! Waste of money soon I have to thrown it out and has still not empty.

BotanicalJas Apr 02, 2021

I really like it, feels hydrating without being greasy or dewy and it smells really nice! I do wish though that it filled my pores more but I just deal with acne scarring so that’s more of a me issue.

SamanthaEve Nov 14, 2020

let her soakkkk

When used correctly, this works great. I’ve heard that primer works best when you let it soak into your face for 7-8 mins before foundation - this is in fact the case for this product. Once I did this, I noticed a big improvement. Also using a matte full coverage like KVD makes it flawless! Love this thanks riri

yayitskassy Nov 14, 2020

all other primers should just discontinue

Best primer I’ve ever tried! It’s light and doesn’t have that sticky feeling. I love the smell - it’s like a seductive powder fresh type of smell lol. Let your skin soak it up for a couple minutes before applying makeup. It literally looks like someone put a filter on my face when I blend in my foundation. I’ve got two compliments on my skin this week, and I don’t even have that great of skin.

Andreuhhxx Oct 21, 2020

alright

Not the best for oily skin and large pores. It doesn’t make my makeup last all day. It does an alright job. I use the foundation and have been searching for a new primer and this will not be the one.

Juliaaaashley Apr 17, 2020

My fave primer

after finally biting the bullet and purchasing the hourglass veil primer (and being very disappointed) I tried this out and works SO MUCH better for my skin. (and at half the price) another win for Rihanna

CaroBoop Feb 10, 2026

One of the Best

I think this is one of the best primers out there. It creates such a silky, luminous base for easy and perfect application. Highly recommend, I have repurchased many times.

BellaRedRose Verified Aug 06, 2025

Great for Combination Acne Skin

Love this product! I have combination skin and am very prone to acne. I have tried a variety of products from Tart to Tati and they have all broken my skin out. This is the only primer that has not broken me out and makes my makeup lay very smooth.

HotInGlasses Verified Jun 13, 2025

Fent-astic Primer

I've tried many brands of primer, with some leaving me too sticky, or heavy feeling. This one is sooo smooth, light, and really helps my base to stick to my skin. Good scent, and nice packaging. Very good quality. Highly recommend

chaarrr Jun 09, 2025

I’ve been using this daily for over a week now. although it doesn’t create a really sticky base, it definitely helps even the skins tone and surface before applying face makeup.

tkitchens May 30, 2025

Must have

I am almost 38, and I have been STRUGGLING with pores. My skin has been changing and every foundation has made feel look dusty and just not Sitting the same. This blurs my pores really well and keeps ny makeup in place

CassssM Nov 13, 2024

I used this for a long time before I switched to denessa myricks, was my fav because it doesn’t have that slippery silicone feeling. Get it if you don’t like the silky feel

Uma0027 Nov 10, 2024

Good but the pressing mechanism doesn’t work

I like this Primer, I loved how it blends into the skin and creates a good smooth skin. But the top pumping mechanism stopped working, after few many of using now. I don’t know how to use the rest of the product now! 😭

Renbarzul Jul 28, 2024

Buy anything else

This primer seemed so promising when it’s on the skin. It gives a nice subtle glow. It does nothing for the makeup. It made my under eye concealer so patchy and settled in fine lines. I wanted to like it so badly and I kept using it thinking I’d get a differed affect each time Plenty a drugstore one if you’re even considering this

Embeeeeee Jul 27, 2024

Must have!

My all time fave! I’ve bought this so many times. I find it cooking and very hydrating.

Nizmo Jul 18, 2024

Thank you

I love love this primer. It’s magic to my face. It’s not heavy on and I can’t get over it. I’m on my third bottle.

Ruokanne Jul 05, 2024

Too drying

The texture felt nice in the store but as a primer under makeup it failed miserably. My foundation began to look dry and cracked a couple of hours into wear. Definitely not for me.

vanillabby Verified Jun 02, 2024

Super hydrating 100% recommend

This primer is very hydrating, works great on dry skin.

sharbear04 May 10, 2024

Its okay

I’m gonna be quite honest I never really noticed a difference in my make up, I am going to try the modifying one as I do more of a matt (copy paste latina) makeup look and see if that makes a difference

haydenpowell56 Mar 29, 2024

I feel like it hasn’t really changed my skin much or helped with my makeup lasting.

Jesuswife Mar 21, 2024

Cause fungal acne

This primer goes on smooth, but I notice that the make up separates and I never get break outs but after using this developed tiny bumps on my cheeks and forehead, looked up the ingredients and 2 of them cause acne and fungal acne. Hate to trash it.. uuugh

AmanieBoyal Feb 22, 2024

Amazing works for me keeps make up on for hours! A must try . I have combination skin goes well and the bottle is good pump works great . Consistency is great and product itself lasts long!

Appysam Jan 24, 2024

Must go for it girl

Really works it has smooth texture and finish is too good after applying light weight

klnatalie Jan 14, 2024

not for me :(

tbh it didnt do anything at all for me. i felt like i was just putting on a thin lotion and i think my makeup looks the same with or without it. it felt nice on the skin but that's not enough to make me want to buy it again

JoeyGiac Jan 14, 2024

Really Works

Best makeup primer I’ve ever used. Truly evens out texture and skin tone and makes skin look flawless. I like wearing it even without makeup. I have never noticed a difference in my skin with any other primer.

ellisonlaurel Dec 31, 2023

not for me, maybe it’s for you though.

this primer didn’t really do anything for me. didn’t help with texture, hydration, my pores, making my makeup look nice, etc. idk what this is supposed to do cause it did nothing when i used it ):

Tanbin Dec 23, 2023

I was excited to use it but the product leaves my dry skin feeling dryer and looking yellowish. I still kept using it to not waste my money. However, the packaging is horrible! The pump doesn’t work well with almost half of the product inside.

Bails34 Nov 26, 2023

This blurs my skin before I put my makeup on I love it.

sha7 Oct 29, 2023

The product is ok. However, the bottle doesn’t open. There is so much product left in the bottle but it won’t come out out when I pump it.

phozenkoh Oct 07, 2023

Major fail

Stinky and leaves skin not well primed. I’m so disappointed

EmmaMild Sep 05, 2023

My holy grail

Someone else recommended this to me after too faced primed and poreless primer reformulated. Have been using this ever since, almost 2 years and 6 repurchases. Works great for my combo but mostly dry skin with texture.

siddhiiii Aug 16, 2023

Great for under the eyes!

Not the best option if you are looking for a primer for your face to have long-lasting makeup, however, this primer works great underneath concealer under the eyes and prevents creasing and gives a hydrated and smooth look.

alora0905 Jun 27, 2023

you can’t open the top to get the product out since the pump definitely doesn’t reach all of the product. i used this for my makeup everyday for about 2 weeks and was out. and i was using maybe a pea sized amount if that

haimorcarmama Apr 30, 2023

Works great with my Fenty foundation. Doesn't leave my skin dry.

chc302 Apr 30, 2023

Almost there

It is a creamy lightweight primer and has a slight fragrant to it. The glass bottle needs improvement because it would not pump all of its product (bottom of the bottle). I am going back to Rare. sorry, Rich!

NRDPAC Apr 10, 2023

Meh. Doesn't filter anything

I have combination skin, with some larger pores. I am acne prone. This product did not break me out. This initially has a sticky feel. It does blend into the skin with some effort. However, there is no blurring effect. There is also no difference in my foundation with, or without, it. It looks the same, with enlarged pores. It does not extend the life of my makeup either. I wanted to love this. However, I do not. In this same price range, the Glowish Jam is far superior to this....

carinabloch Mar 27, 2023

Did nothing to my skin

Didn’t do anything for my foundation. Especially when pairing with the Fenty foundation which I also hate. Was so excited for it and now disappointed af

Laksh77 Jan 07, 2023

Primer is very smooth and has a good texture that blends easily on the skin.

lexa131 Sep 21, 2022

Too dry

So this primer I find works best at “blurring” the skin and has a very similar feel to the “no poreblem” primer by benefit. I don’t like how dry it feels and it would pill under my makeup. I recommend using the pro filtr hydrating primer instead

geehanners Sep 20, 2022

Uhm no

I don’t understand the hype… worst primer I have ever used. Doesn’t last an hour.

kimme26 Sep 02, 2022

No thank you

This does nothing for me, it doesn’t even last an hour and looks as good as if I used no primer at all.

amkr Verified Aug 23, 2022

This primer is everything. Love how it feels on my skin. It’s very light weight and improves the way my makeup looks.

Moisturizers123 Aug 04, 2022

I love this primer and I feel it really helps keep my makeup in place. I wish it had cleaner ingredients so I took one star off but that is personal preference.

Cant live without it

Light and smooth texture, helps to keep my look even ... this is a vital part of my routine

That1Girl87 Jun 15, 2022

I have combination skin, so I like that this primer mattifies my T-zone. It also grips my makeup well and makes it last longer. By the end of my workday, my makeup still looks pretty good. It gives me some oil control but not as much as I'd like, which is why I'm not giving it 5 stars. I also like that you only need one pump for your entire face. It does a great job of creating a smooth canvas for your makeup. I recommend really working it into your pores and making sure you let it dry. I...

LilacDinosaur Jun 07, 2022

I have oily skin and large pores and since I began using this before foundation, it has really made a change. Have gone through a whole bottle and have repurchased. A light sweet smell as well.

EJW92 Mar 21, 2022

not worth it, at all.

Worst primer I have ever used. I have oily skin and this primer leaves dry patches, which has never happened with primer, (no matter how much I exfoliate and hydrate before). My skin looks better without primer than with this stuff. Love all the other gentry products, so I was super bummed that I wasted my money on this.

emleekitten Mar 15, 2022

noticeable difference !

Just switched from a low end primer to this and it’s really a big difference to what I’m used to! I love it!

A beauty staple

Use this all the time. The other matte and hydrating varieties are fun but this is the one.

AngelnRose Dec 26, 2021

First time using any other makeup product from fenty besides the lipglosses. I have dry, sensitive skin. I used to use the YSL primer but it started to pull so i wanted to try this. 1) literally makes my pores disappear 2) not too drying 3) not too matte. This is my third time using it but i would recommend not getting it near the under eye area because i did see it make it drier there when i apply concealer. Other than that love it!!

samgd Dec 05, 2021

Best primer I have used. I have really oily skin to the point that it breaks down my make up and I become shiny in 2 hours. This keeps me matte and has my foundation set all day.

EbeeBlue Nov 14, 2021

Oily

I have oily skin and this was recommended by a Sephora associate. It made my skin look more oily. Was very dissatisfied with the results.

TinyDeputy Nov 07, 2021

Not for my oily skinned people

Not for the oily faces. This did nothing for me and basically slid off my face in a few hours. Def not worth the money if you have oily skin! Does not help your foundation out at all.

gorsino Nov 06, 2021

this product is perfect. my makeup stayed on all day and didn’t mess up

KaleySH Oct 23, 2021

Does absolutely nothing, I’ve used this with all the Fenty foundations and others from different brands and it really doesn’t do anything. I’m disappointed because a lot of people had great reviews of this product but I have drugstore primers that do more than this one.

a1102 Oct 22, 2021

It’s decent, makes your skin soft for the moment but doesn’t do much more. One of those products I’d use if I had it but wouldn’t really buy it again. Definitely doesn’t control shine, actually makes me a bit more oily

I have oily skin and recently bought the Fenty Skin Tint, although i had no problems with it looking oily on my face, it was coming off of me easily, especially living in 100 degree weather, but I knew a primer should help so I purchased this one, and omg it made a HUGE difference.

This is a great product to use. I prefer a primer that I can feel and this is it. A little goes a long way. My skin feels great after I applied this then my makeup

sukhiiiiii Jul 15, 2021

Great Primer

This primer is really good! it does well to blur your pores and make your face feel softer to the touch, the only things i’m not a huge fan of is that my regular foundation and concealer don’t apply the best on top of this primer (I use rare beauty) it also has a pretty strong fragrance but it smells nice so I don’t really mind.

Nessa88xoxo Jul 09, 2021

Works good for dry skin p who prefer Matte finish.

I have dry skin but like a Matte finish. This Primer is great it moisturizes my skin without overdoing it. It allows me to wear the foundation of the same line with a beautiful Matte finish.

Nice base to use with the pro filter foundation. Feels light and does not clog pores up.

It smells sooooo good. I used to wear this all the time until I didn’t have any left

kells77 Jun 29, 2021

This is a decent primer. I would really give it 3 1/2 stars. It’s pretty mattifying, but I don’t get any pore smoothing really. I really love a lot of Fenty products but for some reason the complexion products just don’t work for me, and that’s totally ok. I’ll still use this, but I would probably use something like Tatcha Silk Canvas over it for some pore filling.

MizzErika Jun 23, 2021

This Isn't It

I wish I had returned it in the time frame for returns. To me, it feels like I'm putting on a moisturizer under my foundation, but it's not a moisturizer. I already use a moisturizer after washing my face. I like a pore-minimizing, lightweight primer, and this isn't it. I do have oily/combination skin, and maybe it's just not good for my skin type.

TriciaHoll Jun 19, 2021

I LOVE this primer! I haven’t been able to find a primer that has truly been able to help keep my makeup on throughout the night in South Florida’s hot and humid summers. This primer keeps my makeup on all through a night out in humid weather and stands up to sweat also! I found this product was very easy to use and makeup blended easily with my pro filtr foundation and the match stix. I plan on repurchasing once I use the rest of this bottle

tiffferz Jun 11, 2021

I bought this as a treat for myself. A reward for purchasing a great foundation. When I use the set of primer and foundation, they work so harmoniously that a natural full face becomes a twenty minute non-issue. He plays well with other full coverage foundations too but when I really want to just feel like I put my face on top of my face on, I use several pumps for each section of my face. Use the primer like it is a one-time use sample and that will be the day you get the look from the...

Evaeah1988 Apr 16, 2021

This is my least fav primer I’ve ever used. It’s more like moisturizer, and it doesn’t help with pores at all. Throughout the day this primer actually somehow makes my pores even more noticeable than not priming at all, and after less than 6 hours I actually want to redo my makeup entirely. I absolutely would not recommend this to anyone, in fact I wouldn’t even give the 90% full remaining bottle to anyone bc it’s useless.

jmacgirl252 Apr 09, 2021

I really hate this primer. The texture is okay but it doesn’t spread on the skin at all and makes me feel oily and like I need to wash my face. does not keep my makeup on at all either. Used it maybe 10 times and am planning on throwing away unfortunately.

I have used many primers and this one is amazing, it goes on smooth, it isn’t greasy or sticky. I leave it on for 5 min before I put my foundation on and it makes my skin look dewy.

tbh, you don’t need this product. Was hard to get the rest of the product out of the bottle after using about 75%. No really benefits to my skin and nothing special about this primer. The Wet n Wild matte photofocus primer does the same thing for cheaper.

My oily skin is VERY picky when it comes to primers, and this one checked all the boxes for me!

Good for combo skin

I am enjoying this primer for the most part, I have oily/combo skin and I do find that this gives a decent base to makeup but I find it better if I let it fully set (about 2-5min) before applying any product on top. I see a subtle change in pore size but not much to be honest, I don't find it to be one of those really blurring primers. The feel is kind of tacky/sticky at first but it does dry down if you give it time. A little goes a pretty long way for me as all I need is one pump to...

First review :) *learning

I like how light it feels against your skin and the smell but it had no justice to my face like a Badbitch should look like.I definitely felt like I could see my pores and it didn’t really moisturize my dry skin areas around the edges of my face; it made me look more dry. I am just finishing my first bottle and probably won’t buy this again.

I hate it. I bought this on accident instead of the Pro hydrating primer that is my holy grail primer. This one makes my face SO OILY compared to the other primer. I was very confused until I looked at the bottle and saw the name. Smh. Smells nice but it doesn’t smooth my pores either.

HarleyGia Sep 25, 2020

Nothing special. Ended up giving away. Did not control shine or smooth pores. Made makeup apply easier, but that was all. Foundation would still transfer and face was oily midday.

Color is quite fair but with some redness issues and fairly prominent purplish under eye circles. Hadn’t been able to find a primer that was matte, but not chalky, covered those forehead pores without over covering the pretty good skin everywhere else and gave a nice glow without exacerbating the oiliness. This primer is...

Smells SOOOO GOOD and it’s a great freaking primer!. Feels so nice

strawberrylait Verified Sep 09, 2020

Great Primer!

I really liked the primer and my foundation applied on so smoothly. I am rating it four stars cause it has this floral fragrance scent that I find lingers afterwards. If you are sensitive to fragrance, I would just be aware before purchasing.

SPetunia Sep 02, 2020

would buy again

Love it! Applied smoothly and has made a difference in applying my foundation!

GREAT PRODUCT

absolutely love. Feels amazing on my skin and truly keeps my makeup on

AshHaze1 Aug 29, 2020

This and touch in sol are my favorite primers. Very nice coverage.

Yescas Aug 26, 2020

Not for oily skin

Goes on very nice feels like a gel and slowly goes matt. I did notice after I applied my foundation it looked flawless very nice finish. But around noon I did see a little shine around my tzone nothing major. It's an okay product. Maybe more for combination skin not oily tho.

runest Aug 21, 2020

love the primer, hate the pump

Love the primer, hate the pump which broke on me after a few months and has left this completely useless.

mimz222 Aug 17, 2020

A great primer for combination skin

this primer doesn't cause my skin to go crazy the next day, even with a full face on, I feel like it works, have bought two before as well

RafaelPietro Aug 08, 2020

loved this product

I loved this product. It left a silky touch on my skin. I’m still learning about my skin but will deff keep using this one

elle95 Jul 26, 2020

It’s OK, I have oily skin and it last me from 4-5 hours. My face at the end of the day was shiny. Good thing I bought the mini size.

KeKeLoVe74 Jul 23, 2020

Whoa!

I absolutely love this product and I’m so grateful my friend suggested it.

sabijc1 Verified Jul 21, 2020

This primer is IT!

I have purchased this primer twice now for myself, and twice for my mother, to whom I recommended it. I had never been one to see the purpose of primer since the products that I had used did not help my make up stay on or last through the day. With this primer, my face is less oily during the day and helps my makeup last through a work day. Now during quarantine, I still use it with sunscreen even if I do not put on a full face of makeup. And yes you can remove the pump, there's just a trick to it.

Pigeau Jul 19, 2020

A lot of wasted product

Got this, it was meh, then I realized there’s so much wasted product In the bottle. The pump doesn’t get it all and tons sitting left over. Went on smooth, but I only got about 4-5 hours of wear.

juliemeillon Verified Jul 18, 2020

My fav primer ever, can’t use the foundation without it

The best!!

I love this primer so much it’s literally the best thing and I love the way it smells too

cynthiachue Jul 02, 2020

MUST HAVE

THIS PRIMER WORKS WITH ANY FOUNDATION. NEVER PATCHY. IF IM DOING A DEWY LOOK THIS GRIPS BETTER. Works amazing with matt foundation. For the price the packaging is luxurious.

NannaO Jul 02, 2020

Great product. Bad bottle

Hands down, the best primer I’ve used. Goes on smooth, makeup stays on, and my combination skin stays supple. I deducted one star for the bottle because it can’t be opened, making it impossible to access all the product stuck to the container walls.

PaytonMarie Jun 30, 2020

Highly Recommend for Oily Skin!

I've been using the Smashbox pore minimizing primer for years, but I went through it so fast and it is very picey. I tried this out on a whim and it is awesome! It keeps my makeup looking fresh and oil at bay, it also minimizes pores. I do think that I get more wear and longevity out of my makeup when I wear this!

vbmx Jun 30, 2020

BEST PRIMER

I have tried so many primers and yet this is the one I always go back to. This primer blues and smooths out my skin instantly! Making my foundation and makeup look flawless. Will definitely repurchase.

gwenykeny Jun 18, 2020

I’m not sure if there was a change in formula or maybe I shouldn’t have bought it JCPenny, but I’m not happy this time around. The makeup just sits on my face. I’m not sure if it’s the foundation or the primer, but the makeup just sits on my face. I loved this the first time around, but idk if I’ll buy it again.

This goes on nice because started creasing in and setting in fine lines in about 3 hours of wearing it.

OILY SKIN & I LOVE IT

Amazing. I truly preferred this formula over the matte. This does an amazing job at balancing the skin and making sure your skin is very well taken care of throughout the entire day. Definitely recommend for all skin types

ShaBaby88 Jun 11, 2020

I like wearing this with my more matte foundations and it helps my makeup look flawless. No complaints.

Perfect When Mixed With The Foundation

For some reason, this product doesn't work the way I like it to on it's own before applying my foundation but it works perfectly when I mix the 2 together.

Kvssidyy May 30, 2020

Oily products are too oily and dryer products are too drying for my skin. This primer keeps my foundation looking good all day! This primer has a permanent position in my makeup routine.

ajudd44 May 27, 2020

I love this product. A little goes a long way and it’s matte without drying out your skin. I like the way it looks with and without makeup.

b145 May 26, 2020

I love this primer! It works for both under foundation or just on it’s own as a beautiful matte base for highlight, blush, bronzer, etc.. The only problem I have is for those oily spots on my face where this primer will sometimes accentuate the oil, but other than that, I love this product.

senegyalJAH Verified May 20, 2020

I love this Primer, it gives pretty good coverage. The pair with the. foundation is nice. It also smells pretty good which I like. It leaves your face pretty shiny however.

I dont know watt is suppos to do but i Really L’île thé smell...want a perfum like this

jess0h May 08, 2020

Smells and feels great!

I love this primer! It keeps my super oily skin matte and helps my foundation apply smoothly. It does a great job of sealing my pores without stripping my skin of all its moisture. The only downside is that there is no way for you to open the top of the bottle so when you're almost done using all of the product, you can't use it completely. Other than that, I love the product!

kcdiaz May 05, 2020

Smells really nice & gets the job done. Leaves my skin feeling smooth & silky, not sticky.

chelmu May 05, 2020

A-

Love this primer! I do find after a long sweaty day at work my foundation isn't sitting as nice but does he up for the most part. Also love that the lid screws off so I can literally scrape every last bit out of the bottle! Kudos for that

emilysnoise May 04, 2020

Only primer I'll use. Every other one stays sticky and tacky, this goes one so smooth, and I can put any foundation and make up on over top, go perform under stage lights for an hour and my makeup looks like I just applied it.

Kristiegirl42 May 03, 2020

This primer feels incredible on my skin. Every time I use it, my skin just feels so good, & I am ready to apply my foundation.

Alia781 May 02, 2020

all day till night just before wash my acne awful

Feels like Moisturizer but holds foundation evenly no cake feeling make up as fresh as when you put it on next morning. And if you forget to take off does not break you out at all , will hold through the night and coverage is amazing!!!!!and a little bit goes a long way two peas sizes go long way

BEAUTY STAPLE

This product is a definite must-have. I even use this on my no makeup days as it just gives the skin a cleaner, smoother look. I find that the Fenty Foundation even applies more smoother and lasts 90% longer when this is used prior to application. Love this - I’ve recommended this to all my friends.

hgee8 Apr 25, 2020

I love this product! It’s awesome for every day every, good for a long period of time.

broke me out

It broke me out in tiny micro cysts. I removed it from the makeup routine to make sure this was the culprit and unfortunately this was the cause. I like Fenty products a lot so it's a bummer.! It worked decent and smelled good but I'll be going back to the Becca Ever Matte.

jasminemariah Apr 24, 2020

AMAZING❤️

i love this primer it’s leaves my face so smooth it reminds me of a matte primer, the primer leaves a tacky dewy finish and it literally makes my face smooth

Annex1 Apr 23, 2020

The last two Fenty products I tried; the eyebrow pencil and brush cleaner, were a no from me when I really wanted to like them. Had much better luck with the primer. Makeup still looks great several hours into the day. Provided a smooth canvas for makeup application. No breakout. Pleased with this product.

lexymax Apr 22, 2020

okay product

Pros: smells good, very cute design love the pink bottle. It works pretty well I have combination skin. Cons: gets oily 5 hrs in. The bottle isn’t clear enough to see when your running low on product. I like to know so I can reorder it when low, but it’s so hard to tell.

krdr13 Apr 17, 2020

The key to longlasting makeup

This product was the one that started it all for my Fenty obsession - this base works with every foundation i have ever tried and it makes my makeup look absolutely flawless from start to finish.

meowkittykat Apr 15, 2020

You don't need this...

Not a fan of this. The girl who sold this to me told me this was amazing. Well it wasn't. Made my face greasy after 24 hrs. I am better off with my Estee Lauder primer.

DJMikizzle Verified Apr 15, 2020

Best primer I've ever used!!

Love this primer. Basically cements my foundation in, never have any streaks and it minimizes my pores to a microscopic level. Goes on light and moisturizing, absolute banger of a product!

libbylash Apr 15, 2020

Great product I love the way It feels and how It preps the face for foundation. It does add a Matte finish so if that’s not for you I wouldn’t purchase

daninyc825 Apr 14, 2020

I really wanted to love this primer but for us oily/combo girls, it’s just not in the stars for us. It goes on smoothly but within a couple hrs I’m shiny and oily in my t zone, which I never had a problem with while using smashbox..

AndreaGayleR Apr 14, 2020

GOAT

Best primer I’ve ever used! Love the consistency + smell, holds my make up, great base for a flawless finish.

shadowylady25 Apr 13, 2020

Broke me out!

Gave 2 stars because the primer felt nice going on and probably would work great if you don’t have acne prone skin. This primer broke me out badly 2 days after use. Stopped for a few days then tried again to make sure it was the primer that was breaking me out and sure enough, I broke out again.

tn7016 Apr 11, 2020

Excellent with the rest of the Fenty line

I really like this primer, I use it with the Fenty foundation and setting powder. I like the foundation well enough on its own, but the combination of this primer and the foundation is outstanding. This feels more like a lotion than silicone based primers but it sinks in to your skin well and keeps you matte.

clare196 Apr 07, 2020

LOVE

I absolutely love this primer!! This one does a great job of moisturizing my skin to make my makeup application so smooth. It feels great on the skin and I cant recommend this product enough! There are a lot of primers that feel sticky and greasy, but this one feels smooth and moisturizing. My makeup looks 10 times better when I apply this.

JillianToms Apr 06, 2020

MY HOLY GRAIL

This is my holy grail primer, makes my makeup last for 12+ hours! It is not a silicone primer, it’s more like a moisturizer texture which I was worried about at that start because I always used silicone primers in the past, but this makes the foundation stick and stay all day!

SimplyMiche Apr 05, 2020

Love this primer so far. I have oily/combo skin and my skin loves this primer! I use very little for cheek and forehead area. Just purchased a full bottle

BrookeAnneMarie Apr 04, 2020

Primer...more like moisturizer

It’s a little tacky. I feel like it doesn’t clog up my pores. But I honestly can’t tell that much of a difference. I have oily skin and I feel like it does a very good job at not clogging my pores but that being said I feel like it doesn’t do a lot primer wise. If anything this feels more like a moisturizer.

lilybeauty12 Mar 31, 2020

The Fenty Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch Primer blurs my pores and overall helped my pores from being naturally as large but in a good way . It does not smell chemically and soaks into the skin instead of sitting on top of it like a layer. This product is great!

JCantrell Mar 31, 2020

I really wanted to love this..... I first purchased this when Rihanna lunched her cosmetic line in 2017. I saw good reviews from YouTube makeup gurus and decided to drop 32$ in the product. I felt like it did a good enough job I purchased it two more times after owning my first bottle. It hurts to say but my most recent bottle doesn’t do the job... I can still see my pores after laying down my foundation and concealer (granted I have relatively clear skin)

cesi253 Mar 29, 2020

check twice before buy

i used this product 6 months ago and I did like it. and it is finished and then my daughter purchased other one from sephora. I been using this bottle for one week and stop pumping. I opened the bottle and it is empty. wow $32.00 for one week. I am so displeased with is product.

Amethyst994 Mar 27, 2020

One of the worst primer I have ever came across . If I could give this 0 stars I would. I love fenty products but this primer did not do it for me, it left my face matte but it left back white dried patches on my face without makeup which I didn’t like. Using this with the foundation left my face oily after a few hours, and it was hard to blend out due to it leaving back white spots which made my foundation look patchy .

EmmieandPennie Mar 27, 2020

Has good longevity, has a unique smell which is good. I wouldn’t recommend to my sensitive smell friends, as I find I get waves of the scent at times. Glides over face nicely and helps to minimize pores

dreboych Mar 26, 2020

NOT FOR PEOPLE WITH OILY SKIN!

I have oily skin, and within an hour of applying my makeup the oil starts coming through, ruining it all! It’s really too bad, I’ve heard great things about this stuff. Maybe it’s good for people with more dry skin? I’ll be going back to pore less primer by benefit, tried and true!

AmandaC6 Mar 24, 2020

I have been using this for a while now and I think it works well for what it says. I definitely get a matte finish after using it. It doesn't irritate my skin and does give it some moisture.

onyxember Mar 16, 2020

Works great for combo skin! Super hydrating and keeps my oil at bay!

QueenSharon Mar 11, 2020

Feels nice, smells nice, don’t feel like it does anything and still allows dry skin to be quite visible.

amptx Feb 27, 2020

I don’t like it. I don’t like the texture when I apply it. It reminds me of primers with sunscreen, which I rarely like feel of. And I don’t think it works to keep my makeup on.

best primer !

After trying so many primers this one has to be my favorite of all !! Totally worth the $$ , it works well with all the foundations I’ve tried it with. I love this been purchasing this everytime I run out!

esthergolos Feb 24, 2020

i don’t ever write reviews, but this product deserves one! my face used to always be super dry after a long day of make up. once at sephora an employee recommended this product to me, and after that moment i honestly noticed so much difference. my face is NOT dry anymore (all because of a primer!!) my makeup stays for such a long time and looks great the entire day! totally recommend this if your face is dry!

ewatso6r Feb 23, 2020

Better results than expected

Received this primer this week in the mail and used it today . I can actually say I love this primer and this will be my new go to. I have dry, sensitive/combo skin and this primer helped me from having the shiny look and that is what I have been wanting to fix about my makeup wear . Will continue to use and will be purchasing the Hydrating one next . Fenty has never failed me !

My go to

Moisturizing and blurs uneven colors! Good for my dry cheeks and slightly oilier T zone. My go to

Two pumps definitely goes a long way. No sticky feeling at all. To me it’s sending worth the price

steviebabe Feb 11, 2020

Pairs well with Fenty foundation

Goes well with the Fenty foundation. Definitely a soft matte primer. Not hydrating for my skin nor would it make me less oily than usual. Just a good primer that helps the Fenty foundation stay on. I use the soft matte foundation. I really only recommend if you're using the Fenty foundation. However, the primer doesn't really do anything special.

Scraven Feb 08, 2020

Great

Great! Super lightweight and really nice! You only need to use a little because a little goes a long way!

AyshaNamm Feb 04, 2020

I didn't see anything special about this primer. I was disappointed because I thought it I've better than Laura Mercier or Hourglass but I still found the Hourglass texture superior to this. I wanted to love it but I just found it to be "meh"...especially for the price.

nati422 Feb 02, 2020

Great w/ pores & good 4 sensitive acne prone skin

Recent purchase, been using for 3 weeks. Works really well at blurring pores on my nose and smoothing out cheek area right next to my nose. Was having a hard time applying foundation after spf, this primer saves my mornings! Also, I have very sensitive and acne prone skin, Fenty foundations and this primer are of no concern, smooth sailing.

ceegibby8 Feb 02, 2020

Totally dried out my skin combined w the foundation.

tshannon Feb 01, 2020

Smooths skin but not good for oily skin

I love most of my Fenty products, but this one was my least favorite. It does smooth my skin and eliminate some of my pores, however my skin still gets oily after a short amount of time. I do not have super oily skin, so I thought the soft matte would work, but I still look greasy in a few hours.

Pooface Jan 28, 2020

Not worth it for dry skin

Honestly a pretty mediocre product. There us nothing special about it and it's definitely not for dry or sensitive skin. Might be good for oily skin but I found it very drying even with moisturizer underneath. I wanted to love it but didn't do anything for my skin except strip it of moisture. Wasn't worth the money for me.

abricii Jan 28, 2020

stay away!

With this primer I have the worst transfer ever! My face looks so oily in the middle of the day. I’ve never had any of these problems with other primers before. I can’t even use the phone without it being covered in makeup.

There's nothing great about this. I didn't notice a difference, never have and i never will. Laura mercier has great primers though

Gitta93 Jan 20, 2020

This was a birthday gift to me. It works pretty good as far as pores go but it doesn’t reduce the appearance of fine lines for example my laugh/smile lines which is very important to me. HOWEVER...it does make my makeup look smooth and it also helps with the longevity. I can tell the difference when I use a different brand. This one is non great and it does lasts long!

Laur203 Jan 20, 2020

Favorite primer ever!

My absolute favorite primer that I’ve tried! And I’ve tried a TON! It gives a smooth, hydrating (slightly dewy) look/ feeling to the skin without feeling filmy or greasy. Foundation applies seamlessly over top! In love & will definitely be repurchasing as soon as I run out.

BerDooTeaRose Jan 19, 2020

the best primer I’ve ever used

Love the feel and the result. Suggestion: after you cleanse and moisturize, edit a minute and apply only one good pump to the back of your hand than gently dot it over your face. Then smooth it on. Wait 1 minute before applying her concealer, wait about 30 seconds for it to warm on your skin and then apply the Fenty foundation. The process is worth the time because the results are amazing!!

francesnauz Verified Jan 18, 2020

Really great primer! Works really well with Fenty matte but also with other foundations. I wish it was more oil controlling as I get shiny by mid-day.

Best primer I’ve ever used! Makes foundation go on smoothly. Only thing is runs out quick looks more in the bottle then there actually is.

Madinae Jan 12, 2020

not for dry skin (even the hydrating one!)

I felt like it didn't actually do anything but maybe it just didn't work with my concealer and foundation? Prior to this I was using the Revlon illuminating primer and experienced cakey makeup. My skin is VERY dry so I knew I needed a hydrating primer (I got the Fenty soft silk). I didn't even notice a difference between this thirty dollar primer and my eight dollar primer. Maybe it's just me, but I ended up returning it regardless.

Works so amazing for my skin! Leaves no creases and keeps my face makeup in tact through the day

TrennaJ Jan 06, 2020

When I can get any out of the bottle, it goes on smooth and feels nice. But other then that not for me. Doesn't do anything for my main concerns unfortunately. My pores are still highly visible, and does nothing for oiliness. Maybe it would work better if I could apply more but it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to get much of anything out of the bottle despite it being 3/4 full. I have the mini so I don't know if it mainly pretains to that particular bottle or if it's just my luck but I won't be...

klani0220 Jan 02, 2020

Just Meh

It does feel hydrating but the fragrance is way too strong. I have sensitive skin and heavily fragranced stuff always breaks me out just like this did. Get rid of the fragrance and it might be decent. I didn’t notice it doing any blurring effects, just hydrated dry skin.

DivoJames Dec 30, 2019

love this primer, but I find it works better if you layer it with a good moisturizing primer first. Just a bit drying.

This primer is AMAZING! Like adding a second skin that really does create a smooth pore free, matte canvas for even makeup application..I have mostly oily skin, and some uneven tone from acne scarring; I also show horses in the summer in +90° weather, and my make lasts through sweat, doesn't cake up, and doesn't irritate my skin as some face products do. this Primer delivers on it's promise. highly recommend!

Love love love LOVE everything about this primer! It’s hydrating and soft on my skin. Doesn’t make me break out and doesn’t feel too heavy or smothering like some primers I’ve tried i.e. Arbonne or MAC. Not to mention it smells AMAZING! 10000% recommend giving it a try!

I don't think I have anything bad to say about this product. I wear it all over my face, and it stays just fine. No smell, not sticky, and not greasy. It feels like a moisturizer, but not heavy at all. I don't hate it, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing because it's preeetty expensive for a primer.

More greasy than luminous

I got the Fenty foundation almost immediately after it originally launched and I was so impressed it became my favorite foundation fast. I used it with the urban decay defense primer, two faced hangover primer, and benefit porefessional primer, all of which worked beautifully with the foundation. Since I loved the foundation so much and I figured I'd give the primer a shot and assumed they'd be MADE to go together. Unfortunately, this primer doesn't do much of anything. I may as well put...

My Favorite Primer

Absolutely amazing. It softens my skin so much and blends the Fenty Foundation seamlessly. My pores are almost non-existent with this primer. My foundation will not move nor will any power when I wear this underneath. This is the only primer that won't break me out. A little goes a long way for this product.

FABULOUS!!!

Light scent, feels great on the skin not heavy. Soft in texture.

Love this product to go with the Fenty Soft matte foundation or my foundation choice of the day. I love how it blurs my pores and leaves my skin less textured looking. My only con is I wish the top screwed off so I could get the last of the product out. If you are extremely oily this won’t help much with oils so you may want to try the matte primer.

Amazing! Makes my face feel baby soft! I would highly recommend and definitely will repurchase!

Am very pleasantly surprised!!

Did not expect to like this anymore than any other of my cheaper/higher end primers -- but I did. Something is different about this - from the first pump and feel - i was like - whoa - ok --- and put it on my dry skin over moisturizer, and my cheaper foundations even lasted all day!!!

bethgf Nov 19, 2019

nice but caused me to break out

This goes on beautifully and smells really good. The problem is that it’s making me break out! I’m well beyond the acne stage at age 41, so if I’m breaking out, I know something’s wrong with the product!

Can’t live without this lightweight primer, it really makes all the difference in my makeup routine.

dgomez5665 Nov 13, 2019

This did my dry skin wonders when applying foundation and I also see it minimizes my pores!!

martypartyhardy Nov 12, 2019

My 3rd Bottle!

I love this stuff I use it every day! It makes my skin so soft, and gives me the perfect smooth canvass for makeup. A must buy!

TheeFabulousE Nov 11, 2019

Its ok not great

Works pretty well. I'm not sure it elongates my fenty foundation by much but its a good product.

mariifud Nov 04, 2019

too drying

Tried this foundation and was so disappointed. It’s way to drying and doesn’t spread well. Used it with a beauty blender... I bought two bottles *cries*

DomiAntonia Nov 04, 2019

Left my face sooo oily

I was so exited about this because the rest of her products are amazing. Unfortunately this truly wasn't for me. My skin is already pretty oily and by the end of the night my forehead was disgustingly covered in oil and the makeup pretty much melted off my face. It's not like I was sweating, it was a calm event where I was sitting indoors most of the time. I also ended up with little bumps on my forehead afterwards. I was embarrassed when I got home and realized how oily my face had look for...

Valerie1984 Nov 04, 2019

I have combination oily skin and this primer works to keep oil at bay, but keeps my dry spots hydrated. It basically evens me out and is the perfect complement to Fenty foundation. That all being said, I tried their primer for oily skin and it was flaking my skin and leaving my foundation looking patchy. But the Pro Filt’r Instant Retouch doesn’t do that. So, I am proudly on my 4th bottle of this primer and keep buying it ahead of time, because I really don’t want to be caught without it.

MoMo2021 Oct 31, 2019

I really like this primer. It does a great job keeping my foundation on. I switched to this primer because my other one wasn't working well with my foundation. This primer does a great job setting the skin for your foundation.

Yajahira Oct 29, 2019

Great Product

Love how velvity this product is. I use it every day as a primer/hydrator by itself, ir with my casual use with powder foundation but do not recommend using it with liquid foundations. It does not feel really sticky and gross, or flakey like other primers I have tried.

wattabrat Oct 26, 2019

soft matte baddie

Makes my skin ready to apply foundation and last! Hydrating at first and turns into a soft matte finish after a minute. Has a light pleasant smell

bweed1 Oct 25, 2019

Broke my foundation up

I have only tried this with the Fenty hydrating Foundation but something about this primer with that foundation just did not work. The foundation broke apart and my texture was emphasized and that’s not how the foundation usually looks on my skin. Now I have not tried this primer with any other foundation so I cannot say that it doesn’t work , it just doesn’t work for me with that foundation. That being said it does blur pores !

Tutibellaa Oct 18, 2019

MY OILY SKIN LOVES IT

I have oily skin that is controlled and this works AMAZING! I use it with my Nars foundation and Too Faced foundation! LOVE IT. My base lasts over 8 HOURS!

tinathi Oct 15, 2019

Primer is hard to get out

Seems like tbis primer.is nice packaging but after 6 times of using it still alot if product held back and i cant even open the lid out its highly secure. I dont think i wanna buy another one from the looks of it its just waste of my time punping it out and money....

ariana1cn Oct 13, 2019

Buy it

Love this! Doesn’t feel oily or like it’s too much. I have combo skin and I this is the beat thing I’ve found.

crady Oct 08, 2019

Didn't help at all for controlling my oil.

1 star for texture. Wanted to love. Read reviews stating "holy grail" - had the foundation prior and was somewhat happy with it. I have extremely oil skin. This didn't help whatsoever. Had high hopes. This didn't control my oil, if anything made worse. It's going back. I even use a setting powder

BeeNava Oct 08, 2019

Horrible product the sephora employee recommended this. I returned it. It did nothing to prolong my foundation.

JillKate Oct 07, 2019

Amazing!

This is the holy grail primer for oily skin! I will never try another primer.

milly97x Oct 03, 2019

Favorite primer EVER

My favorite primer of ALL TIME! It smells fresh and feels like a moisturizer, I even use it when I’m not wearing makeup sometimes because it feels really nice on the skin, and it helps my makeup apply so much better.

Angelxa Oct 01, 2019

very good!

It’s really good! This primer leaves a smooth finish .

d337x Sep 27, 2019

It’s smooth on my skin but I always break out immediately after using it. But it differs on different types of skins, I guess.

francescarose19 Sep 26, 2019

Favorite primer. Makes my skin so soft and smooth. Works really well with different foundations & cc creams I use over it. Scent is light but nice.

Roxoliana Sep 24, 2019

Amazing Primer

Honestly, I was a little hesitant because of the price point but I am very happy with this product. It helps my makeup last ALOT longer than with any other primer I have tried. It keeps my makeup in tact, matte and I find it helps my makeup not settle into any fine lines or creases. I LOVE this stuff and definitely recommend it for anyone dealing with early signs of aging. ( late 20's)

Anita1529 Sep 21, 2019

Tres ordinaire comme produit ... pour le prix surtout

grownaw Sep 15, 2019

my hg primer!

Very dewy, natural finish. Lovely as a primer or even alone.

tinkerbell301 Sep 13, 2019

My 3rd repurchased

This is my 3rd bottle. This product is great. Ive never repurchase anything more than two but this one is a winner.

Fritzzy Sep 12, 2019

Look no further!

Search no more! This has to be my favorite primer and have not gone back to others. I highly recommend it.

AleksandraRouge Sep 11, 2019

Love it! Going to keep buying it!

I lOVE RIHANNAS line OMG! This is a very good primer. it is not oily and the consistency is very nice. Not only that but it smells nice as well! I love it. I will be buying this from now on.

ABGR Sep 10, 2019

One of the best primers Also really helps blend make up if it’s visible once on. Worth it!

Larissa02 Sep 08, 2019

Love this primer! Helps keep me looking less oily all day and feels great once applied to the skin

Mechaturtle Aug 29, 2019

Lovely texture and hold, but made me break out :(

Really wanted to like this, as I've had fantastic luck with every other Fenty product I've tried, but this primer made me break out something fierce. I've returned and am going to try my luck with Fenty's hydrating primer next. Beyond the breakouts, I liked this product--nice texture and great makeup hold.

danie103 Aug 28, 2019

Works great, but wasteful bottle!

This product worked great for moisturizing, blurring, and evening out my skin. But unfortunately I cannot recommend it as the bottle, while gorgeous, is very impractical and wasteful. The pump does not get all the product out, and the lid does not come off, leaving a good amount of product to go to waste. It is not worth the $32 (US). I am also not a huge fan of the smell, but it did not cause any negative side affects on my skin, as do some other products with fragrance.

lmh321 Aug 28, 2019

I love this stuff! My only gripe is the dang bottle. This stuff is a bit thick so when you get near the end, it all sticks to the side and hardly anything pumps out. So you basically have to crack the top off with plyers and use a qtip to get the rest out. Yes, the packaging is pretty but defiantly not practical.

AndreaBa4 Aug 27, 2019

Best primer ever, I love the texture and the way it feels.

alannajacquelin Aug 26, 2019

Love this primer, helps keep my makeup on and makes my skin smooth for my foundation application!

stimper Aug 24, 2019

Hands down one of my favorite primers! This primer gives a really nice smoothing feel and look to the skin and pairs well with most foundations. I really like how it's not overly matte but keeps the oils from breaking though and ruining my foundation during the day.

DaniLM Aug 24, 2019

take it or leave it

It’s ok, but not great. None of her products have SPF which is my least favorite thing about it. I noticed when I use my fenty foundation it’s less greasy and more matte when I use other primers. Strangely for me these don’t work congruently together.

pandora01 Aug 22, 2019

Oily? Save this primer for winter

I have very oily skin, and after using this primer for about a year, I've come to realize that it's best used in winter. In summer when I have sweat as well as oil to contend with, this primer is just too sticky and moist. The foundation on top starts to look clumpy and patchy during the course of the day, to the point where I found myself trying to rub my foundation off from around my eyes at work because it looked so cracked and awful! Switched to POREfessional for the summer, which is...

mihnaross Aug 21, 2019

Clogged pores.

I really liked this product to begin with, then I started to realized how clogged my pores were becoming. I researched the ingredients and one of them was the cause. Did keep my makeup on for about 6-8 hours however and smells great.

allexa Aug 21, 2019

Bad pump design

I like the primer, but the packaging is horrible! I have about 3/4 of the bottle full but the pump stopped working and the top part doesn’t come off. I can’t use the remaining product, what a waste!

Micherondeli Aug 21, 2019

Get This!

I had bought the mini size to try out, but after the first couple of uses, I have determined this is the primer for me!! It feels so lightweight, and makes your skin look and feel so smooth! Foundation applies flawlessly. However, I would not recommend it for people with drier skin. My nose is pretty dry and I find it sinks in and, mixed with the Fenty foundation, it makes those spots more noticeable.

hopeless44 Aug 21, 2019

Loved BUT pump stopped working :(

Loveeee this primer! This is my go-to primer when I wear any foundation. It looks so good with my BB cream tinted foundation. So smooth and looks natural. The container though was my main problem. I love the glass look but after about a month of using my primer, the pump stopped pumping. :( I don’t know if I’m the only one with this problem. I couldn’t get any product out of the container and the cap wouldn’t open. Return it for a new one and the second one did the same thing.

zary25 Aug 20, 2019

Breakouts

I have sensitive combination skin and sadly every time I put this on my skin it got irritated. However it is a good product, just not for my skin.

bjaimes1 Aug 19, 2019

I am so disappointed in this primer. I was so excited to use it since it does not feel sticky once it’s applied. However it caused my makeup to crack around my T-zone. That has never happened before. I tried it with high end foundation and drug store and it would do the same thing. Had to return it the next day

ChelseaMarie2 Aug 19, 2019

Love this primer!

I actually love this formula, it is one of the only primers I feel actually works well and helps my foundation look smoother and stay on all day.

Mickiiiiie Aug 15, 2019

Empathized my skin texture

This primer is okay, but not worth the hype. I have normal to combo skin and this primer emphasized my texture on my skin and didn’t do a very good job at making my makeup last any longer than any other primer I’ve used.

Samichance3 Aug 14, 2019

It does what, exactly ?

I don’t really understand the purpose of this product because it did not do anything to my skin once applied. It did not moisturize my skin, or make it appear healthier looking. There is not SPF in this product, which is disappointing because I tend to focus on skin care. I returned this to Sephora because I only used it three times since I purchased it in July.

zzbabee Aug 14, 2019

Best oily skin primer

I've tried many primers but this one does the job! Great for oily skin! Nice size bottle a little goes a long way

jennag24 Aug 13, 2019

Awesome

Works great and feels great! I am very acne prone skin and it did not irritate it at all!

Yelahbf Aug 12, 2019

Don’t know why I tried anything else!

The last bottle I bought of this I used it until the very last drop! I mean, I was tempted to break the bottle open to get more out! But when I finished it, of course me being me, I wanted to try something new. BIG MISTAKE. I tried SO many that just didn’t work and made my skin look dry or my pores were huge, so I decided to come back to this and my skin has thanked me! It really gives my skin the extra moisture it needs while smoothing my skin and giving it a GORGEOUS look, not too matte,...

ErikaAllison Aug 08, 2019

Good "go-to" primer

This was the first primer I felt I could use and actually experience a benefit from it. It goes on nicely, and feel moisturizing not drying. The smell is also quite pleasant. That the colour is usable on any skin tone took the guessing out of finding the right one. A little also goes a long way!

mistyrayne Aug 08, 2019

I used this primer when my skin was oily. It helped mattify my skin very well. It is very lightweight and created a perfect base for the foundation! It is very easy to blend into the skin.

beautyqueenzee Aug 07, 2019

didn’t do a thing

It feels more like a lotion and didn’t really do anything

RifaMK Aug 07, 2019

ACNE!

This made me break out for the first time in my life. I initially bought the mini bottle to test first and I loved it! I have really good skin so with a primer, I don't need foundation. This was perfect. Until I spluged on the big bottle and got ACNE! In my 26 years, I've never broken out. I thought it was me mixing different brands or me using something else but I kept trying it every 2 weeks and realised it was indeed this that made me break out. I'm so sad because other than that, the...

chesacutie Aug 06, 2019

One of the best primers that I've ever tried. Very light and helps my foundation last forever.

SFbeauty650 Aug 01, 2019

Disappointed

I wish I loved this primer it feels great super silky and smells amazing slightly sweet but this doesn’t help my foundation stay on I actually feel it breaks up on my oily complection maybe it’s cause I don’t use the fenty foundation with it but I just wish this primer did more for me although I would recommend for dry skin

Sephorashop123 Jul 31, 2019

I’m in LOVE

This primer makes the skin so soft! I would definitely recommend it

maria41castro Jul 26, 2019

i got this and used it about 2 times total. all of a sudden when i opened it the pump is popped out, i tried everything to fix it but nothing works! its a great product but i think theres probably a default with the packaging! now my money went to waste!

Yolanda93 Jul 25, 2019

I have oily & acne prone skin & this primer is By far the best primer I’ve used!

ddebb Jul 24, 2019

my riri

I love everything about this product. the scent...it smells so good. I use it under my makeup as well as using it to freshen up.

MsJay17 Jul 24, 2019

Pretty Good

I really like this primer. It is a good addition to my skincare routine. It helps to keep my makeup in place. It has a nice, smooth finish. I think this is more of a moisturizer primer so that's perfect for me.

EvelinaMings Jul 18, 2019

Love this

I love this Primer! I dont use a lot of make up just the basic. But this is perfect, it moisturize my skin really well. I just orden a fenty Foundaution so im very excited.

shells3675 Jul 17, 2019

Smooth

This the best primer and I’ve tried many. Can be worn alone too!

MegaRaab Jul 16, 2019

YUAAAAS!

Fenty makes my foundation stay all day, i absolutely love it!

manofmanynamez Jul 10, 2019

Great Primer for DRY SKIN

I felt like this primer was intended for dryer skin types due to its lotion-like feeling/texture. I noticed oiliness on my T-zone appeared faster compared to other primers I've used, such as the Benefit Porefessional Primer. This product is not a bad product, but I don't think it is intended for my skin type.

zaytin Jul 09, 2019

Not for humid weather or oily skin!

I got the sample size from Sephora and tried this primer on a hot New York summer day. All my makeup melted right off my skin and my pores became the size of dinner plates. I think it might be fine for dry winter months, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to use it even as a moisturizer because it’s too sticky. It looks nice for the first 10 min when you use it, by itself, indoors, away from outside elements. I can’t promise what will happen after the first 10 minutes.

Deirb Jul 09, 2019

No Oil Control

I really expected more from this primer. My oil breaks through heavily within a couple of hours and it makes the fenty foundation look a bit weird after you blot the oil away. I will not be repurchasing.

KelseyValerie Jul 07, 2019

I love this primer so much!!! I love the smell, and I love how fast it absorbs to my skin and my skin feels hydrated with this formula it’s like a moisturizer to me.

Enzaa Jul 05, 2019

I absolutely love this! It feels amazing right before I put on foundation. Super smooth and light. Nothing is better than a fresh face with this primer.

xBellax87 Jul 04, 2019

Buy it, you know you want it!

Its now the fourth of July. AKA part of the hottest time of the year, and I did my face this morning and it looks exactly as it did when I put it all on. This is probably the best primer I've ever used and it holds everything in place, nothing slips off, melts off, fades. I can't recommend it enough. The product pays for itself once you start using it.

gabbyabby89 Jul 04, 2019

Causes breakouts

Do not use if you have oily or sensitive skin. Caused terrible breakouts on my jaw/neck where I have never had acne before.

erined2 Jul 03, 2019

I've heard good things about this primer, but unfortunately I did not think it lived up to the hype. As someone with oily skin, it did not stop my shine whatsoever. It was marketed at Sephora as a smoothing and blurring primer, but I dont't think it blurred my pores at all. It's a lotion-like primer, so it is hydratin which is nice. It'd be better for people with dry skin with not a lot of pores. It's not worth the price.

EmilyWes Jul 02, 2019

Great primer, but beware if using long term

I have such mixed feelings about this primer. On one hand, it is fantastic for oily/combo skin. Kept my skin relatively matte (only one-two touch ups) throughout the day and made my makeup go on smooth as silk. On the other, this primer made me have the most bizarre prolonged breakout I have ever had. My skin is acne prone to begin with, and my acne was under control when I started using this primer. The more I used it the more I began to notice a small pimple here or there. Since my skin...

Leahmarie11 Jun 30, 2019

Love this primer. LOVE!!!!!!!! ❤️ But.... I seem to have to use quite a bit. It doesn’t spread as far as I wish, so I ending up going through it quickly....... but I do love how it looks/feels on my skin and under my make up.

DinaT80 Jun 29, 2019

get it you will like it

Got this as soon as it came out and love it I use it under all my faundations and follow with her setting poweder my skin looks amazing and flawless. Deffinatly worth it.

kaysnicolee Jun 24, 2019

Yes yes yes

I was iffy about this primer mainly because I had heard mixed reviews about this. But after a couple of weeks of use. It makes my skin glow
