COVERGIRLBase Business Face Primer, Illuminating 400, 1.0 fl Ounce

Having been a devoted fan of a particular really good (Smashbox) primer for YEARS, I have decided to branch out & try some more reasonably priced options. And I've tried quite a few, in many price ranges.Cover Girl, you've hit the nail on the head with a low priced, good primer.At just under the $5 range, it provides a smooth surface for makeup application.It's very light weight and comfortable to wear. It's not cakey & feels very much like applying a moisturizer.Observation 1: I have to use more of this than I do my normal primer. Not excessively more, but definitely more than the dime sized amount I was used to using.Observation 2: Water based & silicon/oil based primers are different. Your foundation ingredients must mesh with your primer ingredients. This primer is no different. It works much better under a tinted moisturizer or CC/BB cream. The results when using under a more substantial, full coverage foundation were not good. I had to remove it & start from scratch with a silicon based primer. Again, ingredients of each are important. I knew better and it's no fault of the primer...100% user error.I have worn this alone, with no makeup and it helps to even & smooth small imperfections. It has pretty good lasting power too. Be prepared for a touch up if you are a "wear all day & into the night" make up person.Conclusion: For an everyday, go-to primer, this one CG is an excellent & very affordable choice.

I have tried so many green neutralalizers. Most are a heavy paste. I love this one. Not heavy and covers all redness.

I keep buting this item because I jave gotten accustomed to ysing it under my daily makeup routine although I dont think it really covers the red, I believe it tones it down a bit but only after it really sets in and does provide a more matte finish. I do like the loght cream feeling and sometimes even mix it with my lightweight foundation on days I dont want to wear as much make up. The product always arrives with no issues and securely packaged.

This is the best primer for the price. My makeup goes on smooth.

I was hesitant to spend this much on a primer, but I do believe this is worth it, and it should last me for quite a while, as it only takes a pea-sized amount to cover your entire face and upper neck. I love the smell of this stuff - very fresh and clean. The feel is also very pleasant - silky, smooth, and not gritty at all. While it's white-colored, it rubs in transparently and can't be seen. It leaves my skin extremely soft and smooth, and make-up sits great on it. I definitely notice a difference in how long my make-up lasts when I wear this, versus when I don't. It lasts longer, doesn't shift as much, and doesn't get as oily as fast either (I have very oily skin). I also appreciate the added charcoal to help with acne. Despite flinching at the cost, I'm happy with this product.

I didn’t notice any color-correcting effect.

This Cover Girl green concealer is like a primer and I use it to make my face less ruddy, to cover up redness I may have on my face and neck. My foundation goes on more smoothly than if I didn’t use it. Using it whenever putting makeup on. It’s delicate and gentle on my face.

This product does a great job of filling in large pores to create a smooth surface on the skin. I top it with a tinted moisturizer and a little loose powder for a nice, even finish.
