Nice and creamy!

Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone
Goes on very evenly and feels soft and creamy without feeling heavy or greasy. This is my third tube! I've yet to find one I like more.

Review 2 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
nothing special
-06.18.13
Quick Take: lightweight, smells bad
It's a nice and lightweight primer, good for evening out the skin, but I've tried better. It claims to minimize pores and shine, both of which it does to an extent, but nothing compared to what I've seen with other primers. It also smells kind of strange to me. I still use it sometimes, it's not terrible, but I wouldn't buy it again.

Review 3 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Really Works
-06.14.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, effective
I am over 40 with very oily t-zone. This product has made a huge difference in how my skin looks and feels by the end of the day. It feels a little tight when first applied, but is not drying. Very good product!!

Review 4 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Turned into a good thing
-06.14.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, smells great
I got a sample of this primer and used it for a couple days when I decided it's not for me. However, after not using it for a day I realized that my face is much shinier without it. Also, as I kept using for a few more days, the skin redness issues I was having began to disappear and breakouts were clearing up. I can now use less makeup because this primer made my skin so much better. That's why it's a buy.

Review 5 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Mattifying primer that is really a primer!
-06.08.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, does not irritate skin, no strong fragrance
Originally tried this in a sample & loved it. Bought the full size product, & I am very happy with it. A little goes a LONG way, so it is a good buy for the price vs quantity.
The nude shade of this primer is great, as it evens out your skin tone, giving your foundation a truer shade result. What it does NOT do, is lay on top of your skin like every single silicone primer out there does; leaving your face feeling greasy & sticky, & your foundation disappearing, and/or running down your face in an hour.
I use this over my moisturizer, as alone it's too drying for me. I apply my moisturizer, let that soak in, apply this primer & allow it to dry, then apply my foundation. My pores are much less noticeable, lines are smoother, & my foundation stays put all day long. I dont need to use a finishing powder if I don't want to, that's how well it controls shine.
If you have oily areas that you want to mattify, this primer performs just that.

Review 6 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
On my second tube
-06.06.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
I love this! It's very light and absorbs quick. It really keeps my foundation in place, doesn't break me out, and keeps me from being an oil slick. I usually blot once in the late afternoon at most. Often I forget and I'm a little shiny when I get home after work, but only a little. I'm on my second tube and I'll be returning for more when this one runs out.

Review 7 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
peonygirl17
Semi-helpful
-06.06.13
My skin is temperamental and gets stubbornly oily in the afternoons. This primer helped keep my makeup in place a little better than without, but the oil didn't stay away. It doesn't provide a velvety finish like I'd like, but it is a good product to start with.

Review 8 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Smooth and silky
-06.06.13
I am in love with this primer. It's like smoothing baby lotion on your face, only without a greasy feel. I don't necessarily see a big difference after applying it, but I sure can feel it, and my skin still feels smooth and soft at the end of the day.

Review 9 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Good, but not great
-05.24.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I really like this primer for oil control, but I don't find it keeps my pores at bay. I still can see them a fair amount after a little time. It does smell wonderful, however, and I like that it has a very slight tint.

Review 10 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
eh
-05.13.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I tried this product because one of the associates highly recommended it. I use the Korres moisturizer as well as this product. The seemed alright at first but it really did nothing for my very oily, acne prone skin. It really did not keep me matte. I will have to keep looking for a primer.

Review 11 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Nothing Special
-05.10.13
I didn't notice much improvement with my skin. My pores look the same and I still get oily at the end of the day along with my usual "makeup meltdown". Works about the same as any other primer that I've used. I also just noticed that it does not have SPF sun screen. I may switch to another product that has it.

Review 12 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
It Works
-05.07.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, souffle texture
I love this primer...it is fluffy and reminiscent of a souffle in texture. I got this initially using points accumulated as a beauty insider. That's one primary reason I love being a beauty insider because it allows one to try out a product before investing in a normal size. I purchased this after I used up my trial size.

Review 13 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
Holy Grail Primer!
-05.02.13
Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone, fast-absorbing, mattifying, smooth, helps with acne prone skin
After going into Sephora and asking for a primer that would help with my combination, oily, and acne prone skin, the tech pointed me towards Korres and I was weary of this unfamiliar product. After not heading her advice and going for a more popular primer (Urban Decay Poreless) I found myself broken out by the end of the night, and returning it for this product. After getting a sample and trying it out for a few days, I knew I couldn't live without this product. This primer does everything it promises. Not only does it mattify my face and keep it mattified all day, it also provides a protective layer between my skin and my foundation. The smell is divine and it goes on smooth and light with no residue. I love the results I am getting with this, and will be repurcasing when the time comes! (Last so long, I don't know when that might be!!) :) I apply this, then a MAC foundation, the finish with Make-Up Forever's HD powder. (LOVE.) The combination of these products leaves my face mattified all day long. I couldn't ask for a better product!!

Review 15 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
-04.29.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, for sensitive skin
I have tried so many primers and struggled for years to find one that wouldn't cause breakouts or irritate my skin and I finally came across this primer a few months ago! This is such an amazing primer! It does wonders for oily and acne-prone skin. If your skin is sensitive, this is definitely for you. I will never switch primers ever again!

Review 16 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
The best!
-04.28.13
This primer works and mattifies all day long. My skin looks great all day. I primarily use it under my foundation, but it also works well alone. I received a sample of this product and loved it! And I'm continuing to love it!!

Review 19 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
-04.25.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone
I have really oily skin but this unfortunately did not work for me. I do like that it is tinted and it helped with the redness in my skin and it did leave my skin really smooth but the oil control part of this product was missing.

Review 20 for Pomegranate Mattifying Primer
controls oil
-04.19.13
This makes my foundation go on nicely and controls shine pretty well. I have a really oily skin, especially on my forehead. This reduces the oil/shine pretty well - after a couple hours I'm oily, but less oily than usual.
