- Is this primer good for dry skin?
- Not ideal. It is designed for normal skin and a matte finish, and reviewers with dry skin say it can emphasize flakes. Dry skin types are better served by a hydrating or glow primer.
- Does it work under any foundation?
- It layers well under most liquid and cream foundations and helps them last longer. Very dewy or water-based foundations may separate over its silicone base, so let it set first.
- How is it different from a gripping primer?
- Gripping primers are tacky and focus on hold. This one focuses on blurring and shine control with a velvet finish, so it suits people who want a smoother surface more than maximum grip.
- How much product do you need?
- A pea-sized amount covers the face. Using more can make the matte finish look powdery and cause foundation to pill, so build in thin layers.
- Does it contain hyaluronic acid?
- Yes. Hyaluronic acid is in the formula to add light hydration, though the primer is still built around a matte, blurring finish rather than skincare.
- Can it be worn alone?
- Yes. It can be worn on bare skin to soften shine and blur texture, though most buyers use it as a base under foundation.
