Don’t buy it

I got this primer and I absolutely hate it. I use the shape tape concealer as well as the foundation and setting powder and it does not stick to it, within an hour my face looks like I have scales.

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.

Can this be used over make up later in the day??? My pores reappear

Joanne D on Aug 10, 2019

BEST ANSWER: Yes you can use a bit. Just tap your finger on the product and then tap on the area that is showing pores or shine. Follow up with powder

This balm will make your foundation cake up if you use after applying foundation. At least that's what happened to me.

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.

Is it good for sensitive skin? Is it possible to use with all foundations?

Thaly W on Apr 22, 2021

BEST ANSWER: Hi Tartelette,

Totally! I have sensitive skin also and I have never had any reactions from using any of our products. The shape tape pore and prime balm is really great for pore filling and fine lines. I use it with all types of foundations.

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.

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.
