Looking for a high SPF/primer combo in place of sunscreen. This actually works very well on my normal skin that can get shiny in the T Zone by midday. Works perfectly with my Nars Sheer Glow foundation. I purchased this online and was absolutely shocked when it arrived by how tiny it was! If I had seen it first I wouldn't have purchased. Only a small amount is needed for application, so to make it valuable as sunscreen alone, it won't be effective unless I apply too liberally. I'll use it up as a somewhat mattfying primer with sunscreen unless I won't be outside at all.

Maybe for Dry Skin
PostedFebruary 1, 2016
I bought this thinking it would be like the Nars Pro-Prime Oil-Free Primer, with a bonus of SPF. It's completely different. I have combination acne prone skin, and this primer is not right for it. It's thick and paste like, and I can feel it on my skin. It also pills. It's better when I put foundation on, but I have to powder it down quite a bit. This might work for someone with very dry skin, but not for me.
This is my go-to primer. I love it, it doesn't feel slimy and the SPF protection is great. This is a must have makeup product for me!

Not the same quality as before

This is normally my favorite primer and the only primer I use. I think they changed it up recently because it's definitely not the same. The consistency was way too thick and felt and smelled like I was pure sunblock on my face. I don't know what happened but it's not the same. I miss my old primer. Why did they have to change it? I'm irritated that I spent this much money on a wasted product of a lower quality. I need to find a new primer.
