It spreads well and has good coverage. It was great, but the color is too dark! The orange is so strong that sometimes the boundary between my face and neck is clearly visible. It was difficult to apply, but if you apply it well, I think it's a good primer.
I bought this product because I was concerned about blemishes and dullness on my skin, hoping for good coverage. It covers without feeling thick. I wish it had a little more spreadability. I use it with Primavistadia's liquid foundation and powder as a set, so the finish is good.
I'm buying it again. I actually like Sofina's primer. I think this one is more suitable for autumn and winter. It has good coverage, which I personally like!
I used it as a base for the orange areas, blending uneven skin tone on my forehead and cheeks and dullness on my eyelids. It was just right for application. It's a liquid, but it blends smoothly onto the skin, but it doesn't spread very well. Therefore, I prefer to apply it in small areas with my fingers, patting them on rather than spreading it all over my face. While it softly blended out lighter skin tone and dullness, making my skin appear slightly brighter, it didn't offer much coverage for darker skin tone. Applying too thickly resulted in the uneven skin tone showing through, resulting in a lackluster, powdery look. I think it's best to avoid using it in those areas. I'd been using it before I started paying attention to ingredient labels, and I later realized it contained ethanol and zinc oxide, which I'd been particularly wary of when my skin was unwell. So far, I haven't experienced any noticeable skin irritation, so I'm pleased with that.
