Colorescience, Brightening Primer, SPF 20, Unscented, 1 Fl Oz

I was a bit hesitant to try this primer because of its yellow color, since I am Anglo-Indian with olive skin (a little darker than Jennifer Lopez). But it says it is for "all skin types" so I tried it anyway. And I am really glad I did. This product blends in really well to the skin to become translucent. It does leave my face a little paler, but what does one expect with zinc and titanium dioxide? The paleness may also be in part because I apply a lot of it, since I use it as my facial sunscreen on most days. What I do is then apply a light dusting of powder to make my skin tone back to normal again. It is a lovely soft and moussy consistency that spreads easily and evenly on my face. My powder goes on flawlessly over it, which is a far cry from what powder looks like on my face without this primer. The powder doesn't settle into my facial lines either. All in all, this product is amazing. Don't be put off buy the yellow color. Try it!

When this primer came out of the tube it was bright banana yellow. I decided to just go ahead with it. After tapping it on my face I spread it out and it developed into a light coverage that immediately reduced visible redness and faded into my skin color. And it provides 20 spf!

This is the best primer for your face, you just need a dot and spread evenly over your face. Sometimes this is all I wear.. it’s light not heavy and natural looking.

Been using this for years. Great for prepping skin for foundation.

Used it years ago as "Line Tamer"...same product, more money, but a nice primer for liquid, cream or powder foundations. It doesn't tame the lines much, which is likely why the name was changed...I have pink skin...this really doesn't help with that, but does provide a smooth base on which to begin your makeup application...I like it, even at the relatively expensive price as I use loose powder foundation and like the smooth appearance it lends to my makeup. I see zero "brightening" effect...

I love this product! I'm in my early 50s, and though I take good care of my skin I do have some more-than-fine lines, especially around my eyes (crow's feet). I won't say this primer erases those lines, but it manages to smooth out my skin enough that they look less noticeable (but still noticeable, don't get me wrong... only plastic surgery and Botox will fix that). I often wear this without any other makeup. It has the effect of smoothing and softening the look of your skin and minimizing pores, kind of like using a soft lighting filter and Photoshop photo editing software! It makes my face look softer, if that makes sense. Love it, love how smooth it feels on my skin. Don't love the smell (not that it's overly cloying), but it disappears quickly. One bottle lasts a loooong time, as in months and months, because a little goes a long way.

I have used this product for years and love it. But I wouldn't recommend buying from Amazon anymore. I purchased this item but wanted to finish my open one before opening this one. When I opened this one, I was able to use it for about a week before it stopped working. Nothing will come out now. There is no way that it's empty, because one bottle usually lasts for months. I wonder if I received a used one. I will not buy from this seller or from Amazon anymore. Since I waited to use it, the return window is now closed.......and I am out almost $50 with a product that I can't use. Very frustrating!

This primer is "ok"- nice scent, but cannot really be worn alone or without a tinted moisturizer, BB cream or foundation (at least on my skin anyway- maybe it could on super fair skin however).
