Works sometimes

Sometimes this primer would work and create a beautiful smooth base for foundation, but other times it would just end up a greasy mess. I have dry skin so it sh...
  1. Personally did not enjoy this

    R

    I used this under the ordinary foundation as it would not stay on my skin otherwise. I didn’t enjoy the texture though.
  2. Good

    L

    It is a good primer
  3. BEST PRIMER EVER

    Megs C

    i love this primer !! It's my fave as an everyday make up wearer and an MUA this is my go to and also the price point is great as well would defintley recommend and repurchase time and time again
  4. Smelly

    Unhappy

    My first impression of this product was that it smelt like a silicone cap when I first applied it on my face. My foundation sat relatively nicely on top of the primer, but after a couple of days my face was covered in pimples (I didn't change anything other than use this primer).
  5. LOVE

    Charlie

    The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer is a game-changer for makeup lovers. Its lightweight formula glides effortlessly onto the skin, blurring imperfections and creating a smooth canvas for makeup application. With added hydration, it keeps skin looking fresh and radiant throughout the day. A must-have for flawless, long-lasting makeup.
  6. Great for price

    Dawn

    Definitely see a difference in my makeup at the end of the day if i don’t use this. Holds up pretty well in summer + combo skin. Cheap and does the job.
  7. So good

    Elise

    Under my silicone based foundation this works so well!
  8. Smelly

    Lily

    This 100% smells like silicon. Once it's on my face, I smelt like I'm wearing a swimming cap. Not very appealing. It also causes pimples on my skin.
  9. Not bad

    Dhanoa

    Not bad for the price.
  10. Nice base for foundation, not super long lasting

    Amy123

    Creates a nice smooth base for foundation but makeup didn't last all day (full coverage foundation and oily T-zone).
  11. smoothing, but slidey

    Em

    does a great job at smoothing the base for your makeup but does nothing to make it last longer. perfect option if you are not looking to increase liberties longevity and ur foundation etc. is also silicon based
  12. Average primer but good price for what it is

    parcelandpeony

    Smooth and creamy application, a little bit goes a long way and I appreciate that it doesn't have artificial fragrance or sulphates. As far as its functionality as a primer, it seems to get the job done but does not help my make up last all day if it is a particularly warm or humid day.
  13. Nice

    Dino

    Nice, but nothing special.
  14. Love this

    Vee

    My go-to primer for days that I wear makeup. This is the better version of a primer that I used to spend $70 on. Smooths my skin, creates a barrier that doesn’t clog pore and doesn’t have any flash black. Love it.
  15. Silky smooth

    Matil

    Silky smooth primer foundation is great when I put it on ! And face is smooth all day too !
  16. Much better out there for the same price

    Abbey

    Not the worst, but certainly not the best. Supermarket primers are better than this one in my opinion!
  17. Fantastic

    Gab

    Great brand and a good primer for an affordable price
  18. Quite greasy

    Dani

    This primer left my face feeling quite greasy after application. I reduced the amount I used but had the same result. I have normal skin and was very surprised as I love the ordinary products.
  19. Not bad

    RhiRhi

    I really like this primer, I’ve purchased it a few times. Make stays on for most of the day.
  20. So amazing

    Court

    It works really well for my skin and I didn’t break out at all
  21. Fiscally Responsible Eye Primer

    Isabella

    I use this as eyeshadow primer. Lasts all day with no dramas and will take forever to run out. Yippee!
  22. Nice primer

    Morgan

    This is quite a nice primer. Really good price. It melts into your skin, a little bit goes a long way. I need to let it sit on my skin for a couple of minutes before applying foundation as it's quite slippery when you first apply. Doesn't break me out either. I find I have to use a beauty blender or else my foundation gets really patchy.
  23. Well priced Primer

    Rhi

    I enjoy this primer however it balls up if I used skincare and moisturizer before applying. I will just lightly apply this to my face without rubbing too hard and let set before I apply make up (Which wears beautifully)
  24. I love this primer

    Chelseaaa

    The only primer I have found that works well with my skincare and my makeup. I only wish it came in a bigger size.
  25. Amazing product overall but terrible smell

    Jade

    It smooths and moisturises skin, works as the perfect base for make up or on its own. The only issue I have with it is the awful smell, it kind of reminds me of hair removal cream. I will probably purchase again because it performs well but be mindful of this if you're sensitive to weird smells.
  26. A Nice primer

    Ana

    This is a really nice primer without a high price tag. It does its job well. It is not too greasy and holds make-up very well.I purchased it about 3 times so far and will continue using it. Highly recommended!
  27. Great for the price

    Great for the price

    I have very dry skin and this works perfectly to hold my makeup all day. I have tried more expensive primers and while they are very, very good I cannot always justify the price - this primer works just as well for such a cheap product
  28. Love it

    Love it

    Great primer. Locks my make-up onto my face
  29. can finally wear foundation without flakes

    Sara

    I started using this product around a year ago and I use it every day. Even a small amount gives a great hydration and smoothness to the skin, and it completely eliminated flakiness/unevenness i was experiencing before when putting on foundation
  30. Outstanding

    Ruby

    Performs well the brand is great and primer is super good !
  31. Best primer

    grace

    Such a good primer, created good base for foundation, protects skin
  32. Decent

    CrissyZ

    Not the best primer out there (especially for oily skin) but not the worse either, decent considering the price!
  33. Great everyday primer

    Ash

    Great primer and great value.
  34. Cheap and serves a purpose

    Luci

    Bought this to give it a go and I do not mind it, but I also am not amazed by it. It feels nice to put on and can sometimes aggravate my skin because it is another thing to add to it after cleansing. I also have combination skin which can get quite oily and this does not seem to help with that. However the rest of my makeup lasts okay. Just not in my t zone
  35. Good for the price.

    :)

    But there are honestly better products out there.
  36. Good grip and wear

    Dawn

    Getting though the whole day with less makeup touch ups then I was doing with my bougie primer. Makeup does not slide and the misting over the day does not make it look patchy or split.

  46. Recommend

    Amanda

    Easy to smooth a small amount over my spf, it then makes my foundation application super speedy and easy to blend it perfectly. Not sure if it helps my makeup last longer as I use a long wear formula anyway but I love it simply for its ability to speed up my morning routine and is super affordability.

    Jo

    I don't wear a lot of make-up so I was looking for an affordable primer that did the job and didn't go to waste if I forgot about it in the cupboard - this is the one! Builds a really nice, smooth base. The only thing is waiting after any other product, as I have found sometimes it ends up pilling. Overall, great buy!
  69. Too greasy

    Locksey

    I am not a huge lover of primer so maybe that is part of my problem but I tried using this and found my makeup just sort of smeared around on my face when I was using this. I tried only using the tiniest bit but found it to still be a problem. It worked better when just using a powdered foundation rather than a liquid one.

  74. Stops my makeup caking

    NicMorgan22

    I have very combination skin, quite oily to exceedingly dry. Every other primer I have tried makes my makeup look cakey in spots. This is the first product I have tried that stops that altogether. I only wish I could buy a big box of it as I go through it quite quickly.
  75. Well priced & works well

    Sophie

    Inexpensive and seems to work well for me doesnt break me out - hard to tell but I feel like my makeup stays on better with it.
  76. Great primer!

    Axanthe

    I found this priner to compliment the cleansing products I use. It is not too tacky (which I love), and works really well with The Original Foundation Serum. Recommend!
  77. Really nice

    Ash

    Nice primer sits well under makeup
  78. Not great at controlling shine

    JJ

    I use mineral powder foundation and when the makeup first goes on, the looks fine. I look dewy but not shiny. However, after 3-4 hours, I can see significant shine coming through, especially on warmer days. By the end of the day, all my makeup has fallen off. Might work on people who have slightly oily skin but doesn't work for me.
  79. Nice primer !

    Sidlings

    Great primer, feels unique because of texture but really does a job job before applying all my makeup
  80. Great value for money

    Al M

    This primer works so well with my silicone-based Hourglass Foundation Stick. A little goes a long way as too much will make your foundation slide around your face but it smooths my skin texture and pores. I used to use Benefit's Pore-fessional but this one can't be beaten for the price.

  83. Great basic primer

    Angela

    For the price point you really cant go wrong with this primer. I've used it on and off for years and keep coming back to it when I realise the much lore expensive one I've bought does the exact same job as this bargain.
  84. WOW

    h

    goes so well on the skin, makes it smooth and pores are gone.
  85. Better than I expected

    Rowena

    I was surprised by how good this primer is. It has more of a light moisturiser feel than other silicon primers I have used, but works a treat. It feels fresh and clean and has a lovely scent. Makeup glides on, but still hugs the skin.
  86. Yes love

    Carly

    This feel great on my skin and keeps my makeup looking and feeling good
  87. Still not sure about it

    Jess

    I bought this to use with my Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. I'm not sure I'm sold on it. I feel like it doesn't nicely hydrate or prime my skin. Instead, it feels a bit silicone-y and slippery. I prefer the Napoleon Perdis Auto Pilot primer or Clarins Beauty Flash balm.
  88. Affordable and effective

    Bonnie

    This is such an affordable and effective primer. I have oily skin and this really does help to even out texture and improve the longevity of my makeup. Also, I tend to break out from silicone products, but so far, this has been wonderful. I only use a small amount each time, to this tube will last a while.
  89. My new best friend

    Michaela Moschella

    Best primer for my oily skin I have found will be repurchasing!
  90. feels nice on skin

    Jenny

    Unlike some other silicone primers which literally just feel like silicone, this one is not clear and white in colour and feels more like a thick moisturiser. doesn't break me out, but is definitely more suited to very oily skin and may feel dry and normal skin. works for me but may not for everyone.
  91. Heaven!

    Fantastic primer, makes skin feel silky smooth and helps fill in fine lines so that makeup glides on and stays put beautifully. Unbeatable for the price!

    Katie

    I like this primer - it makes my skin feel smooth and helps makeup go on nicely, doesn't irritate my skin either. Sometimes I just wear it without makeup to blur my pores a little. It's not a holy grail product, but for the price its a great primer! I'd purchase again.
  95. Love this primer
