Even if your skin tone does not match your neck and chest region, this primer can also be used on the body to cover up when you need foundation on your neck/shoulders on those days when your face skin tone doesn’t match. It’s also amazing for covering up scars or tattoos anywhere in the body.

Very light and buildable foundation. Always makes my skin look very smooth and airbrushed in photos even with breakouts. Usually applied with hands when I’m wearing it for school, easy to blend and work with.

Bought this item a month ago and I must say, it’s a winner. I use it before applying my foundation, on my oily skin, it makes my skin look smooth and matte. It fills in the imperfections and allows your foundation and powder to glide on your skin… added bonus is that it smells great!!! It exceeded my expectations!!!
