Expired

I didn’t use item right away. I still had my previous smashbox I wanted to finish, so missed the return window. But that’s maybe a few weeks later, when I finally got around to using it the item was neon yellow!!! Come to find out on the outside of the box the item expired in 2023!!! Thank god I didn’t put the item on my skin. I love this product and this is a repurchase, I use this daily. But this is on Macys.

Best Primer Oily Skin

I switched to this primer during the summer since my face gets oily than usual and I love it! It goes well with my Maybelline foundation. Very smooth and a little goes a long way.

Definitely changed my foundation routine

One of the best products I have tried for my makeup. I have extremely oily skin and this product definitely made a difference. I used to start blotting by noon and now I can last hours before blotting.

What??

Is this product that is supposed to replace the Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer? Poor substitute if it is. If it isn't then where is the under eye primer?

Effective

This was recommended by a YouTuber for those with oily skin, and I would say it works well. I tried 2 other types in the past, and compared to those, this is overall more effective. It helps smooth out fine lines and large pores and keeps the liquid foundation in place longer.

Just as good as the original

Still the only eye primer that won't crease on my oily lids. I was afraid to try the new formulation because of all the bad reviews, but they were so completely wrong. I agree the packaging is difficult, but I'm never using another brand again.
