I think that this primer works as well as much more expensive primers. I have greasy lids and this keeps my eye makeup in place and prevents creasing. The slight pink tint is a nice added bonus, it helps brighten the eyelid and fix mild darkness. Sometimes I'll wear it alone without eye shadow on top on days I'm doing a light makeup look.

Does the face primer keep your face matte? I have really oily skin and the only thing that works so far is milk of magnesia...
Our Face Primer is mattifying and helps control shine, and is fantastic for oily skin!
Is this a face or eyeshadow primer? why is it picture showing both? would i get both if i place the order?
I think this one is for the face. The pink thank me later is for the eye lids.

Is this product good on older women?
I find it is a cheaper alternative to the usually expensive primer for the face. Anyone can use it it extends the wearing time of your daily make up.
Will this hold my foundation in place while sweating in very hot weather?
No one product will help with that completely unfortunately. You will definitely need a primer, however I haven't tried this one yet so I can't speak to it's staying power, but I really suggest using long-wear specific makeup, and ideally a few different products to extend the life of your makeup. I recommend you try a prep spray- try the NYX one in the white bottle! , a primer such as this, a long-wear foundation like Revlon's pro long wear, or Estee Lauder Double Wear, then a translucent setting powder, and a setting spray. That's the ideal way to make your 'face' last through it all. If nothing else, a bare minimum of a primer (& let it soak in a min or so) and set it with loose powder! Hope that helps a bit! If you have questions just lmk!

is this sweatproof?
Not really. If you sweat heavily enough to sweat off your makeup, the primer will go with it. However, the moisturizing benefit to your face will remain.

Where is this made
Hi Sheila, Thanks for your question. All Radiant Complex products, including this Face Primer, are made in the USA. Hope that helps, let us know if you have any more questions.
I have combination skin oilynose need more hydrating moisture in the winter type of qualit moisterizer should I use under this primer never use primer
Hi-Thanks for your question. You are correct that you should use moisturizer first and then the Face Primer would be the next step. It will help to lock in your moisturizer as well and keep you hydrated in the winter months. You can use any facial moisturizer that you normally use and works well with your skin type.

How long does it take to set? I put moisturizer on and then this and my mineral foundation looked wet. I was just curious if you have to wait.
Not long. I apply this, do my eyes and and by the time I'm done it's set and I can finish my face.
What order do you apply these products? Perfecting base first; then the concealer and lastly the foundation?
I start with a clean face, apply moisturizer - let that dry - then apply the perfecting base, concealer, and lastly foundations. Sometimes I follow with a light layer of powder.

I love how this primer reduces the pores on my face as it allows my foundation to slide on evenly.

How well does it work in keeping foundation on?
I think it works quite well because it makes your face so smooth. I finish my make-up with a setting spray and my make-up stays on all day until I wash it off.
For which skin tone it is for. I am a kinda dusky look (wheatish) color
This primer is for all skin tones. It's a pinkish color but goes on clear on your face and creates a smooth finish before applying your makeup. Apply small amount to top of your hand; then use other hand to apply...a little goes a long way.
