When I went to buy concealer, I mentioned that I was concerned about dryness and dullness, so the clerk mixed this with a little bit of Color Corrector's Yellowness Neutralizer and used it. It has a moisturizing texture that is great for dry skin, and the foundation I apply on top spreads very well, so it's my favorite primer.
At first, I was surprised by the deep pink color, but once I applied it, the color disappeared and it felt like it was fitting perfectly. I didn't notice much, but maybe it was a color-correcting effect like toning up? The primer is moisturizing and light to the touch without feeling dry. I also used Make Up Forever's HD Skin Hydra Glow Foundation Deluxe Sample 1R02 / 5ml, which I bought in the same set. This was also light and thin, and didn't cause any skin irritation. I wish it had a little more coverage, as I have sagging pores, but overall, the moisturizing, easy spread, and lightness were good. I didn't really mind the scent, as other people have said.
I bought the mini size for travel. The base spreads well.
