Works fine+not oily
Many reviewers complain of a greasiness when they squeeze the product out and that it separates in the tube. Well,as per instructuons ,it has to be shaken up (this s common w primers). Secondly,of is not greasy. The initial oily feeling is due to the silicones that most primers contain. However,this soon disappears+the product spreads v evenly. It does not leave oily shine but looks quite matte on my combination skin. Yes,it has a strong oerfumey smell but that ,too,is gone after a few seconds. Thisprimer evens out my skin fine,leaving a velvety surface for my base to stay on. Only a very small amount is needed because it will flake (again,this s common with all the primers I had). Not worse or better than most,more expensive primers as they all tend to have a silicone-y base that fills out pores +evens skin surface. Does not feel very heavy on skin but I use sm good micellar water to remove all my makeup afterwards &I never had a breakout this way. This is a cheapey primer that does the job+it s 30g product as well ,so lasts for a while. The strong fragrance will put some people off,no doubt ,personally I do not have an issue with it as it goes away+did not irritate my fussy skin. Yes ,this product is also made in China,which won't go down well with those who think only pricey products are good etc. I am fine with it+usually order primers from China,as many UK etc brands now manufacture their goods there,anyway+I had no issue whatsoever with these. I got this primer bcoz I ran out +needed one quick (I ve combination+ageing skin that needs careful approach to look OK). Anyways, cheers to this primer !
