COVERGIRL Base Business Face Primer, Pore Minimizing 300, 1.01 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 like this product. I have tried others and they don’t compare to this one. Affordable and effective!

I bought this on Amazon for 3 Dollars and change. I have the purple pore minimizer. Just as good as Baby Skin and ELF. I have normal/Dry skin. No breakouts. Pores not bad, but it did really even out and brighten my skin. Would repurchase.

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.

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.

I didn’t notice any color-correcting effect.

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.
