COVERGIRL Base 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.

Never knew something so simple could change my life. Makeup doesn’t change ALL DAY. Really really recommend. Makeup goes on flawless after you apply this stuff. Pretty different outcome than not using this product. It’s good stuff. Never used a primer before but it’s impressive.

Totally prepares your skin for applying foundation. Lightweight and works very well.

This is my first time using this product, and I must say it does the job. It's filled in huge pores. Made my skin smoother.

Horrible product change.I’ve used this exact primer since 2017, almost daily. The last order I got was their “new“ version, according to the bottle.It now is very runny, has a disgusting chemical smell, and feels more gritty versus smooth.I don’t know what change they made to the recipe, but this is awful now.

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.
