Gorgeous
I haven’t really been much of a primer girl throughout my life but decided to go with this one as I was looking to glow it up in my 40s lol. It certainly does the job and I do love the look of it on my skin however I do find that it can break me out in a couple of pimples around the chin area. Not sure why and I really do love it just a shame.

Dewy and glowing
I received this as a sample and came in such a great size so that I could properly try and test it out. I highly recommend purchasing this primer and I know I definitely will! It’s so dewy on the skin and so soft. It’s a great primer for underneath make up or just if you want to have some glow on its own.

Good
Love this primer. Such a great product One of my favourites from rare beauty. I use this primer every morning as a base before I apply the rest of my makeup. You can also use it by itself to add a shiny hydrated glow to your face. This primer applies really easily. I’ve purchased this product many times and I will continue to do so. Definitely worth purchasing.

I have naturally really dark under eyes and when I don’t wear any makeup I look like I haven’t slept in days and this is the perfect product for when I want to look more awake but not have to put on a full face of makeup. I even wear it under my concealer for extra brightness and I am obsessed with it! It’s so creamy and feels very high quality:)
