This is probably the eighth time buying this primer and it's amazing!! I always always read the reviews on how good or bad a product is and then I buy it if it sounds promising, but let's face it one product may work wonders for someone and totally fail for someone else. However, this primer is honestly amazing for me! I'm in my mid 40's with combo skin, bigger pores and not to mention aging skin. Yes, I need all the help I can get. Now the product is a thicker primer, but not too thick and easy to apply. I do find it best after applying primer if I wait 5 to 10 before I apply my foundation. I work in a hotter environment and yes I sweat, but my foundation is still on at the end of the day! Sure by the end of the day my foundation and blush isn't as radiant as when I first put it on, but my foundation fades nicely ( if that makes any sense) and looks nice. With other primers I've used I look and feel so greasy I want to rush into the bathroom and wash my face cause my foundation looks so horrible, but not with this primer my makeup still looks nice! The only downside is the size. I do wear makeup every day so usually I can make this primer last 2 months. I hope this review was helpful.

I'm not sure this is the miracle product I'd hoped for based on some of the reviews, but I do like it, and I'd say it's definitely helpful. From the jar, it's a pale pink cream, but as you spread it on your skin it begins to dry quickly and has a light powdery texture. You have to work quickly because it dries almost as you apply it and once it's dry it's less spreadable. I found that I got the best results by being patient and working with very small amounts rather than dabbing on a large amount and trying to spread and blend it. If I applied too heavily it would begin to clump and brush off. I also found that putting it on very thin and light, and then reapplying another thin layer or two gave me better results. It seems to work better on very fine lines and I think that's because the powdery product fills the creases in your skin which would be harder to do on deeper creases. It feels very soft on your skin and doesn't have a noticeable scent. It doesn't look oily or shiny, but also doesn't look dry and cakey. It just has a nice, soft matte finish. I thought it was a little pricey for a half ounce jar, but a little seems to go a long way. If it lasts a while I'll be okay with the cost.

Product is good but it didn't get delivered yet from Amazon..Order placed long time ago and waiting for it to be revieved.

This is an okay product, but how is this 37.00!!! I'm laughing out loud. 3 years ago it cost 10.00

I'm a big fan of L'loreal products and find you really get a quality product at drug store prices. I am so happy to write a review of L'loreal Magic Perfecting base. I love this product because shockingly it does exactly what it claims to do. It really fills in your pores and makes your face look and feel so smooth. your makeup will even go on more smoothly and evenly. I am 64 and have some soft lines around my lips. I have actually used this on and around my lips and it's amazing how much it softens the lines ON my lips too...I use a lip pencil as lipstick usually with a gloss and it goes on so much more easily. it's in a very small jar but you don't have to use a lot so it should last a few months. I don't use it everyday so I'm not sure how fast you'd go through it if you did. I would say that even if you don't have pores or soft lines to soften, you'd love this product on your face for how it feels and for how smooth your makeup will go on and look. great product.

I love this primer, it’s very smoothing and blurring. Doesn’t make my face oily and it only takes a tiny amount. It really just makes my face feel good and smooth. Foundation applies so easily over it and my makeup lasts all day long! I like that it’s fragrance free, also. A little goes a long way and this little glass jar will last a very long time! I will continue to reorder as long as it’s being sold!

1st of all i am not at all new to using primer i am a pt working makeup artist i just f makeup on the side for extra income and have been so for 7 years now i did however hv a massive stroke 2 years ag. Oyehich aged my skin by a good 20 years ouch so i did have to change my own mackeup routine a bit as now i hv wrinkles and loose skin in the eye area so i decided to try diffrent primers and foundations before i used the clear mineral primer by elf which is super cheap and that works AMAZING kept my makeup looking fresh and perfect FOR DAYS yes ladies i said days i am such a perfectionest w my makeup i would sit at my vanity sometimes for 2 hours to do a full face cuz i wouldnt be done till EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT N IF I MESSED SOMETHING UP I WLD WIPE IT ALL OFF N START OVERwow now to get to the review i told u all this cuz i know times people read reviews spacificlly bad reviews n think they just didnt use it rite let me assure u i know very well how to apply primer and this primer was no good did nothing for wrinkles and had no staying power it didnt keep my foundation looking good even for 3 hours let alone the entire day! After only a couple hours my foundation contour n everything was faded so badly i had to totally reapply using my elf primer which i can apply n wear it all day and sleep in my makeup and i hv worn it again the entire next day and it still looks fresh like i had just done it i recomend the elf primers over even some highend primers they hv a whole line of primers from the clear mineral which keeps my very oily skin matte for days whithout drying me out to moisurizing one for dry skin and one for minumizing pores i hv tried all and they are all wonderful my favorite is the minuralize one cuz it keeps me matte but i hv dry skin n wrinkles under my eyes so i use the moisurizing one under my eyes and they clear minuralize one on the rest my face i do not recomend this loreal primer however there are lots of loreal products that i do love and use everyday on both myself and my clients like the loreal infallible foundations and lipstick n cream eyeliners
