Laura Mercier Pure Canvas Blurring Primer 50ml

Love this primer, feels light and smooth on the skin

Love the packaging, the texture and the smell... I had such high hopes for this product! Boy was I disappointed. It made my pores look 10 times bigger, and highlighted every single flaw on my face. My face looked really dry and well just awful! I’m gutted! 

This was used on me at a self use make up course. The lady was struggling to find something that gave me a really good finish. She used a different primer first and it started to crack so then she went out and brought this to try on my second look and honestly it made a total difference, it is amazing on your skin. It really blurs your pores and gives your skin a airbrush finish. After I went and brought it myself and used it every time I wear make up. I would even just wear this with no make up to reduce the size of my pores when natural. 

Not the best primer I’ve used, doesn’t seem to keep my makeup on. Hourglass is a better primer 

This product smells nice and has a very silky texture on application. That's where the positives end. It has the gall to highlight all my pores when it ought to be doing the exact opposite - they actually looked worse! It's terrible for my skin which is very healthy but leans towards being slightly dehydrated. I did not think skin type would come into this but as per another reviewer with oily skin for whom it worked I wonder if one needs a seborrhoeic skin for this to perform its duties. If that's the case then they really should have written it on the description!! I'm very disappointed as this was my first Laura Mercier purchase and I had heard good reviews.

Considering this a blurring primer it’s the worst one I’ve ever used in my life. It highlighted pores beyond belief, made my under eye look an extra 30 years. And to top that, my foundation was patchy. I literally cannot believe how awful it was considering it’s laura mercier. I’m 42, my skin is in pretty good condition. Maybe the others in the range are good, better, but I won’t be spending money to try them.

Possibly the best and my favourite Primer!! I have a very oily and acne prone skin. This Primer does what it say, my make up never lasted without getting oily after 2hrs of application. However when I tried wearing Laura Mercier's blurring primer I noticed that my skin quickly absorbs it, made it look matt and fresh and makes my skin looking perfect. It instantly made my face looking like I dont even need to wear foundation. You only need to use a little amount and dab it onto your face and its magic!! Really love this product, highly recommended.
