The best matt primmer ever!
a year ago
Finally, I have found my perfect primer. I bought and tried this for the first time today, and oh my word, I am blown away. I have brown skin, but I still wear SPF 50 sunscreen every day, so trying to get a compatible matt primer to sit on top has been a nightmare; the silicone ones leave a greasy feel on my skin and do not work well with sunscreen. This primer is very lightweight and works well with my sunscreen; it mattified my skin but gave me a lovely dewy look as the day wore on. I don't wear foundation and only apply concealer on the occasional dark spot I get left by spots, so I'm not sure how it works with foundation or a full face of makeup. Still, it held well with the little concealer I did apply and felt lovely on my skin throughout the day. L'Oréal, please don't ever stop making this primer.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Bring back infallible!

Absolutely awful product. Makeup does not sit well at all and slides when you try to blend so it goes patchy. The infallible primer was a million times better. I’ll be finding a new brand.

Honest review
a year ago
Bought as my primer seems to have been discontinued like everything these days. Been using for three months and found out that not only does it not keep my nose matte which is what I was wanting, it dries out the face showing up every pore and foundation does not go smoothly on, leaving foundation marks and when you try to pat them out if the foundation has already set it will start to peel off. Over the day, try not to touch your face as if you do the primer will also rub off and make it look like you have stuff coming off your face.
No, I do not recommend this product.

I am so surprised by the negative reviews here. I have been using this primer for a week and I have tried many, many primers but this is the best one for me. My skin is dry but my make up never stays on without primer. I’ve used this with different foundations and all have lasted all day. It doesn’t feel dry or cakey le

24 H MATTE SETTER

Prime Lab 24H Matte Setter

Due to L'Oreal discontinuing the Infalliable Mattifying base which i liked, i bought this one. I can only conclude that its average. It was ok on parts of my face but other areas of my makeup seem to have been worn off, despite nothing touching those parts of my face. So I conclude it gives blotchy results. Unlikely to buy it again!

Worst primer ever
2 years ago
I miss the infallible primer, used it for years and made my makeup look smooth and helped it last. This new primer is horrid, makes your makeup look cakey and dry, almost impossible to blend your makeup over it which means it leaves streaks on your face. Also seems to make my makeup come off easier and I find I’m missing patches throughout the day. Going in the bin

Sold as primer but isn’t good for this
2 years ago
I bought this because the clear primer wasn’t available. It makes it very difficult to apply make up which dries before it can be smoothed out and then hurts my skin as I have to rub it harder to smooth out make up. The clear basic primer is lovely and make up glides on over it so if you want primer don’t buy this. It was wasted money for me
No, I do not recommend this product.

Bring back the infallible primer
3 years ago
I seem to be experiencing the same issues as others who have rated it low. And for the same reason, I had to buy this primer because the one I usually buy, the infallible primer, has been out of stock everywhere for ages I fear it’s been discontinued to make way for this new disappointment.
I have quite oily skin and used to LOVE the infallible primer. This new one claims up to 24 hours shine free, try 4, by lunchtime I am shinier than if I didn’t use it at all. Not only this, but my makeup does not sit well on it at all. If I dare touch my face, i.e. if I scratch it, I wear glasses too so you can only imagine the state of my nose when I remove them, the make up separates and you cannot blend it in to cover it up for love nor money, the rest of the make up just keeps coming away.
Certain areas on the face, especially throughout the day, I see make up looking cakey. At the end of the day my face just looks a mess.
Super disappointed and even more so as I bought 2 bottles thinning this was going to outdo the infallible one. Don’t waste your money especially if you have oily skin like me.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Ok but
3 years ago
I bought this because I usually use L’Oréal infallible primer and thought this was the ‘improved version’. Sadly not. It doesn’t seem to sit well on my combination skin - some of my foundation looks great on top of it and other parts look bobbly and the foundation sits in my pores. Tried the advice from L’Oréal live chat about small dotes etc but still not worked. I guess if my skin was even in its shine/ dryness then it would be better.

Good for dry skin not for oily
3 years ago
This was a good primer for the money but wasn’t the best I’ve used. I have combination skin and after about 5/6 hours of wear my t zone was starting to look shiny again under my foundation when using this primer. It was a good base for make up but I wouldn’t say it’s the best for combination skin.

A prime primer

As recommended I spread the primer using my fingertips and found it to be a nice texture and a little goes a long way. Give it time to set before applying make up etc as you may find you might not need any foundation or just a minimal amount. It's lightweight so doesn't leave skin feeling claggy.

Smooth and long lasting
3 years ago
I absolutely love this primer, the best I have tried so far! It is easy to apply and it goes on evenly, also you need fairly small amount of it. It feels kind of refreshing on skin without adding heaviness or sticky layer. It is fantastic at holding make up in place for the whole day plus I found that it is easier and smoother to apply foundation on top of it. I have a shiny forehead and while using this primer the shine was gone, I was checking it throughout the day and nope the shine did not appear even by evening! Fantastic! By the evening my make up looked almost like in the morning which is much better than without it. I would dare to say that it makes foundation to look smoother too! It did not block pores which is really good for me. Overall I am happy with results and I would recommend it to my friends.
