I'm a firm believer that a good primer equals a good makeup day. So when I saw this product, and its inexpensive price, I thought I'd give it a go.
I purchased the green Prime and Fine Primer as I have very fair skin, so any redness usually shows through my foundation. Now Catrice promises that this primer minimizes shine and reduces pore visibility whilst giving skin a mattifying look. This is not the case at all. Aside from the weird scent, the product just really does not work. It has a greasy feeling after applying it to the skin, and to be honest, the green does not do much. My face was very oily after about only 2 hours of wear (under my usual foundation), and my makeup came off with the slightest touch (it would transfer on my glasses etc.)
I gave this primer a shot a few times, and switched up my makeup application, but was left disappointed every time.
Bottom line - it's really not worth it!
