Too Greasy for Me

This primer is easy to apply and really does help blur the skin as described. I have oily skin and often have trouble with makeup not staying in my T-zone. This product was listed on the website when I checked the oily skin box, but it is definitely not for oily skin. If anything, I feel like it made me oilier and contributed to my makeup rubbing off my T-zone easily. I will not be buying this product again, but I would recommend it to someone with dry skin.

Perfect poreless finish ??

This priming balm is so silky and smooth. It glides effortlessly on your skin, leaving you with a prefect, flawless finish. I would not recommend for ladies with a more oily complexion but it’s perfect for us dry, flakey complexions. The applicator sponge that comes with it is perfect for a smooth even application. My only complaint is that it did not last very long, I felt like I used it up in less then a month and for the price it’s not a staple in my makeup bag. I buy it occasionally to treat myself. But I would definitely recommend it for dry, sensitive flakey complexions

Best Primer Ever

This is what primer should be to me. So many of them are basically face spackle. This is light and not as if you are putting a layer on before your concealer or foundation. It's just glides over your skin preparing it for concealer or foundation or nothing.

is this different from timeless primer? which is better for oily skin in a humid environment?

Michelle K on Feb 10, 2020

BEST ANSWER: Hi Tartelette!

Tarte's Timeless Primer has a antioxidant-rich formula gently melts into the skin delivering a surge of moisture, peptides and other naturally-derived elixirs for a firmer, smoother appearance. Shape Tape Pore & Prime Balm is a vegan creamy, lightweight formula which easily blends into skin to blur imperfections, smooths & minimizes appearance of pores & fine lines and formulated with vitamin E to help keep skin nourished. However, for the best oil & shine control we recommend Tarte's Poreless Mattifying Primer, which is a waterproof, mattifying & retexturizing face primer, which features an optical matte-blur technology to filter out imperfections & create a shine-free matte canvas for your foundation to last 12 hours!

xoxo, Tarte Expert

Would it be a good idea to combine both primers? They both do different things so maybe it would give a better flawless look?

Will this work for sensitive combo skin?

alisa t on Feb 9, 2020

BEST ANSWER: Hi Tartelette,

With any skin sensitivity, we always recommend for you to take a read through the ingredients list to see if there may be something listed that is a known allergen to you. Otherwise all Tarte products are created without Parabens, Mineral Oils, Phthalates, Triclosan, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Gluten. For Dry/Oily combo skin, pair Shape Tape Pore & Prime Balm with the Shape Tape Moisturizer, for best results.
