Ok I just am too distracted by her foot to figure out what the image is selling. If it’s not a foot cream, they didn’t light and pose the model particularly well.

Has anyone tried this? I use Mac prep and prime and went to buy it yesterday at Nordstrom. My mua said not to get it because it was for women of color!!!!! Then she pointed to the add. Not sure if she is just ignorant or what but I’m pretty sure primer is for everyone!!!!

get it. it is tinted a light yellow so it doesn’t create a white cast on darker people. the yellow tint is the same color as a clinique moisturizer.

It’s for anyone with oily combination skin and for all skin tones. They are just marketing it to women of color more than past products to let them know it won’t leave woc looking gray-Ish and washed out like some other primers.

i think this product can be used for everyone that has oily skin. the only thing that is different about it is that it has a yellow tone to it, similar to the color of Clinique’s Dramatically Different moisturizerl. I think they did this because some primers ( like thier other prep and prime products) can create a white cast when used on darker skins. the yellow tone of this primer does not. I wish the promo picture showed a few more color ranges. Christine, are you going to test this product. A lot of people come over here to see what you have to say about products. I would love to see what you think about this one. Thanks.

I got it and I LOVE it! I have super oily skin. I’m talking oil slick skin year round. It smooths, minimizes my enlarged pores, gives a radiant glow, and most of all makes my makeup stay fresh longer. It cuts the number of timesI have to blot in half. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and have bad no adverse skin reactions.
