Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting

Urban Decay Complexion Primer Potion - Pore Perfecting

Wfore foundation (or alone!) to minimize the look of pores and fine lines. The velvety formula simmers down to a soft-matte finish—without the greasy, heavy feel sometimes associated with foundation primers. The result is flawless skin with an airbrushed look and feel. Foundation will go on smoothly, evenly, and won't fade away. Ideal for oilier skin, but dry complexions who want pore perfection will love it, too! The convenient squeeze tube includes a twist-up dispenser (like school glue!) for easy portion control.What else you need to know:Two unique finishes of Complexion Primer Potions are available. For skin that feels brighter and tighter, also try Complexion Primer Potion - Brightening that is vegan and paraben-free!

Hmm, Shiny. - 11.07.09
Quick Take: lightweight

This product goes on great. Makes skin look soft and even and makeup goes on ultra smooth, but I wouldn't suggest this product for anyone whos skin is a little oily. Made my face an oil slick. Not hot. Tried it for a week, ultra shine every day. Stopped using it, everything was back to normal.

This is one of the best primers I've used. I have oily skin and it helps under my foundations and powders.

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

I wish I could give this 5 stars, but I simply can't. The texture is lovely, and goes on very smooth, but it does not keep oil at bay. I use it under my Temptu (which I adore), and was surprised at the grease at 3:00 in the afternoon. This one will go back, and I will try another!

It's a great.. Just not for me - 11.01.09
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing

I recently bought the eyeshadow primer and I loved it, so I decided to try the face primer. It is lightweight, goes on smoothly, and has a silky feel. The down fall was that it seem to cause my skin to breakout.

Quick Take: lightweight

This is by far my favorite primer. I have oily skin with visible pores and this product not only hid my pores but also did not make me oily. The product went on non-greasy and a little went a long way which makes me feel like I got a bang for my buck as it should last a while. Previous to trying the UD brand I've tried primers by Too Faced, Smashbox, Clinique. This is now my favorite.

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

I have tried other primers & have not been happy with the end result. Then, I tried UD COMPLEXION PRIMER POTION-PORE PERFECTING! It was not greasy & it didn't settle in the fine lines. I thought my complexion was pretty good w/o primer. But, I was wrong. Love it!

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

I can't even begin to describe how awesome this stuff is. It gives my face a nice glow and a smooth finish, without a cakey, oily feeling. It absorbs in fast, and I can even wear it by itself or with a light complexion correcting powder over it and walk out the door. This stuff is seriously amazing.

Better than Primed and Poreless! - 10.27.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, brightening

I tried the Primed and Poreless, which was pretty good, but it really made the dry patches of my skin stand out. I was more impressed with this primer because of how much it brightens and smooths the skin- I put a sample on the back of my super dry hands and was blown away by how bright and smooth it made my skin. It doesn't make my dry skin as noticeable, which is what I really need. Also helped my makeup last all night!

This primer really works! You have to apply it with a brush for the proper outcome though. I use a concealer and foundation brush to spread it all out. It is thick but it can easily be distributed with a brush. The primer really fills in pores for a smoother canvas that allows for better makeup application. It doesn't make my face oily either. This is something that will probably become a staple for me.

Decent, but not exactly what I was looking for - 10.08.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, velvety texture

So, I am a huge fan of Urban Decay's primer potion for the eyes and thought that this product would be just as good for the face. I have extremely oily skin and have tried a couple other primers in the past, with little success (Smashbox, Lorac, Cosmedicine, DERMAdoctor). The texture of this one is a little thick, so a little goes a long way. It certainly made my foundation go on flawlessly, but about an hour later, my skin was back to being oily. This product is probably great for customers with Normal, Dry, or Combo skin types. If you're extremely oily, you may not get that all-day matte look you want.

Quick Take: a magic potion!

This product delivers on most of its promises. It feels satiny smooth and makes my makeup (both liquid and powder) glide on smoothly. I have not seen a lot of improvement, though, in reducing the appearance of pores on my face, even though I've been using it for about two weeks. I am willing to keep using it, though!

perfect - 10.04.09
Quick Take: pore minimizing, not greasy, a must have!

I hat having large pores on my nose and off to the sides of it, but this potion did its magic and now you can hardly see my pores! And i use to have big ones, like the tip of a ball point pin big, they seem to diminish after the first application and just keep getting smaller. A must have for any person whom hates their pores or and urban decay junkie.

Best Primer Ever! - 10.01.09
This is by far the best primer I have ever used! It keeps foundation/concealer on all day and reduces the look of pores. It wicks away moisture better than other primers I've used, such as Makeup Forever. Also can be used over makeup and creates a great matte-look. Very worth the purchase!

can cake on a little too thick if you don't use it very sparingly.Also makes you paler which can be weird if you put too much on one area.

Cannot say enough good things... - 09.29.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing

This is my favorite product I have bought this year. I have tried 5 or 6 foundation primers in the past, and this is by far the best. I love how it is so thick- you don't have to use much. It absorbs super quickly and makes my skin feel like velvet. I feel like I look airbrushed when I have this on. It also makes applying foundation much, much easier. I will be buying this forever!
