LOVE LOVE LOVE! This stuff is perfect! The texture is smooth and makes your face feel soft. I have sensitive skin and this primer has actually helped create less breakouts. Plus the smell literally smells like you are on a tropical vacation!

Love it!

This feels so good on the skin and pairs very well with the shape tape foundation! I haven’t tried it with any other foundations yet. It makes my skin feel so hydrated before putting on foundation, and the foundation doesn’t end up sticking to my dry patches. One of my favorites!!

I actually think it plumps the under eye if you use a light amount under the eye before putting Shape Tape concealer. I would just use light amount.

This worked well under my eyes in the winter/dry months. I tried using this primer under my eyes prior to using concealer in the summer and it was creasing and my makeup was sliding off by the time I got to work. I also walk to work so I can work up a sweat on my commute, if you drive or live in a dry area you might be okay. I definitely love this primer when my skin needs the hydration and the weather is also dry.

I have dry skin, almost always year-round, so I put on serum then moisturizer then this! It is not sticky, it dries fast and it's lightweight so my answer is use with a moisturizer you're going to feel the best that way and have the best results. Give it a try

Yes! Most times unless the primer specifically says it’s a moisturizer (plus) primer you’re going to moisturize first. This is super hydrating though so if you have to skip your skin care it will do the job
