Overall take
This primer did a pretty good job of living up to its promise. I love using it on its own on days when I don't want to use too much makeup but I want my skin to look perfect. It gives that "my skin but better" effect. I prefer using this under makeup as opposed to topping this over makeup though since it has the tendency to erase/disturb my foundation/bb cream placement and make it look streaky. It has a light yellow shade that does a good job of minimally correcting redness so this would be a good primer for people with oily/acne prone skin. I did not get any breakouts after weeks of using this product. Overall it does a solid job of covering pores and uneven skin textures and it did keep my face oil-free for up to 3 hours or so and then I had to blot my T-zone then. I have no complains whatsoever although my only point of comparison for this type of product is my Agnes B skin perfector and I prefer this since it has a yellow undertone and SPF so it does more than the former.
