Makeup Forever Step 1 Primer $36 (number 6 to add radiance to light skin)

My review Makeup Forever recently came out with a new series of primers for different needs. I am all about glowing skin, so I chose to sample number 6, a pink primer to promote radiance for light to medium skin. There are so many options, so that is definitely a plus. These primers feature Acti Tensor 3D, Hyaluronic Acid, and Regeactive, which help hydrate, firm and smooth skin. I did like the way this primer felt. It was very thin and does not feel heavy, which allowed it to sink right in. On the negative side, it did nothing to make pores look smaller or smoother. It didn't make my makeup last longer and to be honest, didn't really help with much color correction. ( not that I expected a ton) I did get very glowy though. Too glowy. I have very normal skin, with a slight slight amount of oil in my t-zone, although, I'm dry right now. For the first 2 or 3 hours it was a pretty and natural glow. After that, I looked like an oil slick and look at how big it made my pores! I have never ever had problems with big pores. It honestly doesn't even look like my skin. So, I'm only going to be able to give this particular primer a 1/5. I like the different options and the way it felt...but that's about it. Guess I'll stick to my Nars primer. (no problem there lol) I do think they might be good for very dry and dull skin though. Read below to see what Makeup Forever wrote on their website about all of the primers incase you are curious. ( I have heard good things about the smoothing one)
