Timeless™ - Smoothing Primer

Made my pores look WORSE

I’ve been looking for a pore filler that isn’t too drying/mattifying, since a lot of them seem formulated for oily or combination skin. At 40, my skin now is much drier than it used to be, but I still have large pores, so I gave this a shot. It definitely took some work to rub it into the skin enough to get any kind of blurring or pore minimizing effect. I didn’t think it was working, but I kept applying and rubbing and eventually the pores looked smoother and more blurred. But my skin felt very tacky, I could feel the primer, so I waited a while (at least 20 minutes) before trying to apply foundation over it. When I eventually did, I could still feel the tackiness of the primer as I dotted the foundation onto the skin. When I started to blend with fingers, the result was SO bad. It kind of mixed with my foundation and the end result was that it was making my pores look even LARGER. For what it’s worth, I use Armani liquid silk foundation. Maybe this product works better with Tarte foundation. I will be returning. The search continues…

Disappointed

Breakdown & cracks so fast; I bought to cover scars (pitted) and at first it looks okay and then creases out of no where. Literally falls apart. Had good potential though.

My holy grail for texture

This is the only primer that evens out any texture on my skin. This is my holy grail, and I wouldn't know what to do if it ever gets discontinued. I've tried everything before trying this.

I saw an improvement

I had decided long ago that primers didn’t really do anything and often pill or mess up my makeup rather than improve it, but I decided to try this because my makeup idol, Tati Westbrook, always uses it. I put it on one side of my face and actually saw an improvement in my smile lines from one side to the other. I’m a believer and use it everyday now. I haven’t had any problems so far. For reference, I’m 47 with lots of fine lines and dry skin.

Absolutely love this product! Immensely helps smooth out the thin lines and wrinkles especially under my eyes!

Holy grail product

I've been using this product for years and love it so much! I have an oily t-zone and large pores on my nose. This product makes my pores looks so much smaller, it's long lasting, and a little goes a long way. Also love the component.

Great formula but weird packaging. Luxe heavy glass jar with a super cheap plastic difficult to open / close lid. I still prefer tatcha’s primer over this, this is a thicker consistency. Great addition for my oily skin.

This actually works

I have larger pores on my nose and redness on my skin and fine lines around my mouth. I was finding that concealer and any foundation falls into the pores and creases but this primer actually provides a satiny base. that so that concealer or foundation glides on very

Its a big yes for me

Amazing. Been struggling with pores for years. Better than tatcha, I can wear makeup again without looking cakey from things settling in my pores

Not for me

This primer didn’t mix well with my oily skin. My makeup slid around on it. I ended up giving it away after a few tries.

The product I use to Filter my Skin..But...

I love this primer! When done correctly it fills in your pores so that once foundation is on pics looked like they have a filter on it. Some things to know...you need to tap the putty in ...more tap and blend, less swipe across face. you are trying to fill the pores not swipe the product over them. I also read a few reviews about pilling and I figured that out...I spent a year using this product without pilling , then increased my retinol percentage and my face was dry as a result, in comes the pilling. This product doesnt naturally pill and I have combo'd it with multiple products over the past year. I think its about your skin and how its prepped. you also cannot get away with just applying moisturizer, you need to actually be moisturized... so i would say this isnt for anyone on the dry skin side or anyone experiencing temporary dry skin. Use a liquid blur product and save this for the days you are hydrated - that's when it will shine.

Favorite primer

This is my go to primer. I love this so much! When I do not use it. I can totally tell. I recommend this to everyone.
