Long Lasting Results

This primer works great. It keeps my skin from getting oily all day when I pair it with a control finishing powder. I loved the Becca primer, but the company went out of business. Makeup Forever is the closest I’ve come to the results I had with Becca.

Works great

I have large pores and this is the only primer that softens them. When I don't want to apply makeup, I glide some of the primer on and let that just be my "makeup" for the day

My New Fav

This primer works miracles for my aged skin. I have been a loyal customer of a different brand before trying this. I am so happy with this product, that will never go back to the other brand. It works great under my foundation and lasts all day.

Maximum smoothness

I’ve used this product for a while now and it doesn’t disappoint. I use it in place of foundation and layer it over my normal sunblock.

Pretty solid!

Pretty solid job at preserving my makeup… too bad it can’t just STOP me from sweating!! Doesn’t contain pore clogging ingredients, which is a mega win! I’d prefer the product to be unscented - the fragrance is a lot. Not ideal for use in the undereye area - way too drying, which enhances fine lines/wrinkles…. However, IT IS a mattifying primer! So I skip using it there and haven’t figured out a better option, TBh!

Great primer

I love this primer. I just put it on my t-zone and my skin is so much less oily throughout the day. Normally I’m blotting my forehead by lunch because it’s already bad.
