Reviews

Great Primer

"I love Jane Iredale products. I was using a different primer and my skin was too oily. I changed to this primer and it fixed the issue. I am using it with the Jane Iredale liquid foundation."

Aimee P. (5/5)

Smooth like Silk

"I absolutely love the Smooth Affair face primer. This product makes your skin feel like silk. I only use the product in my oily areas to prevent drying, like my nose, cheeks, & eyes. My eyelids are a little scaly, & this product seems to smooth the appearance. Provides an even application, so there is no spot that appear splotchy."

Face Primer

"Is A-MAZ-ING!! Feels so good on! Coverage is light and feels so good. My skin is super oily so I was very impressed when my makeup stayed looking great all day. Even after pickleball in the Arizona heat."

Lovely product

"I’ve used this product for several years and it has done a great job of making my pressed powder foundation stay put and my skin not to get oily and cause my makeup to break."

Wish I bought it long time ago

I have just opened my face primer, it is like colored water. Not cream like at all. I have shaken the tube and still like water. Is this faulty product?

Did you change the formula of this product as well? I always bought the primer for oily skin and it used to be white colored and smell like oranges. Now I ordered again and got a pinkish colored primer that doesn't smell good and feels very different on the face.. Or did I get the wrong one? Please help.
