Probably the best primer I've ever used & I've tried a lot of the hyped ones (MAC, Urban Decay, The Ordinary, Becca). It's very mattifying & smoothing, which creates the perfect base on my oily skin & helps makeup to last better than any other primers I've tried before. It's only downside is the tube it comes in is very small so tends to be one I break out for special occasions/weekends, while I rely on my Ordinary primer for day to day usage. Wish it came in a bigger size!

With skin in its 30’s but my brain in denial and believing I am still only in my 20’s, I was getting desperate to find a primer that would fill my pores from my negligent youth (kids, listen to your elders and cleanse, tone and moisturise). I’ve spent years looking for the ‘do it all’ primer and this is it. Like poly filler for my larger pores, and a luxurious silky grip for my ever more frustrating combination skin, this primer holds my makeup all day - and as a teacher pulling her hair out/ rubbing her eyes/ sweating in the classroom (as well as being a parent which holds its own dramas) - this is no easy feat! My makeup doesn’t oxidise, my contour is crisp and my skin feels fresh and able to breathe, despite the denser style of the primer. If I could give this primer 6/5 I would... but I can’t because that grade doesn’t exist- but it is worth it!

When it says velvet it means velvet. A great primer, and makes my skin look great - I put it on my cheeks and forehead.

I kid you not, this is by far the BEST pore filling primer out there, Literally blurred all my pores, shine and leaves skin feeling soft and incredible. I only just got this two days ago and is already in my basket for my next cult beauty purchase. Already looking at other 3CE products to try out. The smell is amazing and is worth the purchase. Only thing I was to say is I find the tube too small and feel I would need to stock up on this on my next purchase to avoid delivery just to get one product.

It's not bad, it hides my pores, but with any combination of makeup I try, it just makes the makeup after few hours separate and when I touch my face the makeup just slides off, and I'm using ICONIC London makeup stick and RCMA makeup palette:( I believe it's good but maybe just not for my skin type which is oily :(
