Light and smooth velvet to the touch - love it.

Went on nice and smooth and sat well under foundation - it helps tremendously when I set it setting spray. The primer feels so velvety and light. And a little goes a long way - so start off with small amount and build up.

Hi
Yes anyone can use this primer based on my experience as I have very sensitive face skin and I used this primer couple of times .But after applying your daily face moisturizer and skin prep for sure.

Should I use it with base tape or some moisturizer or can i put it directly on my skin?

Joanna S on Jan 11, 2021

BEST ANSWER: Hi Joanna! Our shape tape pore and prime balm can be used by applying a small amount on clean, dry skin using fingers or the accompanying sponge to areas where you want to blur or smooth imperfections. Swirl fingers or sponge and gently pat product into skin to minimize appearance of fine lines and pores or to help smooth uneven texture. Then, you can apply foundation as you normally would.

corina t on Jan 4, 2021

BEST ANSWER: Hi Corina! Our shape tape pore and prime balm is a pore-filling primer that helps makeup glide on smoother and extends the wear. It is a creamy formula that blends into the skin to blur imperfections. It smooths and minimizes the appearance of pores and fine lines and helps improve and extend the wear of makeup.
