It's almost EMBARASSING how bad this makeup primer is 💩

[@jocelynel-fab5214]

Hi! From what I have read regarding temporary skin-firming topicals like PTR’s FirmX line, the skin-tightening (closer to « stiffening ») action of the chemical lasts only a short time and doesn’t allow for a lot of « normal » facial movement - so designed for special events (wedding photos, tic-toc, dinner, etc.). Such topicals are geared to people whose skin is sagging a bit and for whom « skin-stiffening » is enough to smooth out their features (the matte effect also helps make skin look smoother). I also believe that one would need more than a pea-size amount - and the face must be completely immobile until the chemical sets (a bit like an egg white mask). Since your skin is nice and taut, you would not see any difference.

So We’ll Said !! Beautifully, said actually, I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, the product just doesn’t hold up If i was to use this on a model for a photo shoot I would need there skin to still look great for up to six hours. I mean the product looks amazing for the first few moments!! It’s gorgeous, But after that, as soon as you start really smiling applying your make up, it just falls right apart It’s so disappointing and unfortunate. I really wanted to love it. I played around with it multiple different ways. Using different base products to hopefully give a little moisture to the skin. And It’s just not happening! the only way this works beautifully is if you put it on a very clean face, SPF is completely out of the question 😳🤔😔 But even when you put it on a totally clean face it’s beautiful it’s just doesn’t last very long Thank you so much for writing. I’m so glad you loved the video And found it super helpful Live, Love & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

Agree with you 100% - I was given a sample - when it first started tightening on my skin it seemed amazing however with foundation made my skin look chalky and dry. Definitely would not buy!!

I completely agree with you, this one just didn’t cut it for me Thank you so much for watching. I’m so glad you love the video and found at super helpful. I can’t wait to be back filming for you guys !! Stay tuned it will be happening sooner than expected, hopefully!! Live, Love & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

It was a fail for me. I immediately started peeling. It was my mistake for not factoring that the primer is silicone based and my Dior foundation is water based. For my mature skin I definitely will stick to hydrating water based primers and foundations.

Hi Mary, thanks so much for writing!! May I make a suggestion the brand new Dior Forever Glow Veil Primer is amazing!! if you’re into DR products I also did a review on that one as well about three weeks ago it’s stunning and I think you might really like it. Definitely check that out. If you’re looking for something, super blurring!! The Laura Mercier Pure canvas primer is super or the Laura Mercier hydrating primer !! Try those. Let me know what you think. Thank you so much for writing Live, Love & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

PTR use to be on QVC all the time in the 1990's and completely faded from view. Then there was that one fairly recent viral video on the tightening serum and he's back trying hard to be relevant. Bad idea!!! He had/has a dermatology practice in NYC with his own lab and this is his second try to return to the beauty market. His product line died for good reason. Thanks for taking one for the team. Sorry you wasted your money!

Hey beautiful, so sorry for the late reply, it has been super crazy here Thank you so much for writing I definitely didn’t waste my money, because I buy these things for you guys , so you get to see how amazing a product is!! or how not so amazing it might be 😕 So I never think of it as I wasted my money, Because I do it for you all of you 💗🥰🤗 you mean the world to me But you’re completely right, that product was used a lot in the 90s and we have progressed so far and given that he has this amazing skin care line, I just feel let down that it wasn’t amazing as amazing as the rest of the products Thank you so much for writing Babe!! I always read the comments always!! Live, Love & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

You have to waer silicone makeup! Not water or oil base. It works beautifully for me

[@LaceyElizabethDesigns]

Hey Beautiful, thanks so much for writing. I appreciate the tip. I’ll definitely give it another shot. Thanks so much for writing. Live, Live & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

Some love it, others hate it. You should definitely try to get a sample before you buy the original size. ;) It also doesn't work with every make-up. And many people don't use it all over their face, but only where there are large pores.

[@LaceyElizabethDesigns]

Great advice for people thinking about purchasing it!! Thanks for writing and for watching Welcome to the channel Babe!! Live, Love & Lipgloss 💄 xoxo 💋

People keep getting this wrong. So its actually NOT a primer. I have no idea why they call it a primer. Its not meant to be used with makeup at all. What this is meant for is to temp cover up lines on the face. I have deep deep vertical lip lines from years of trauma (both medical and physical). It sucks. Until I find a decent Dr to do laser/botox/fat transfer or light filler, this is what I have been using. It does work. However, it doesnt always look natural. You cant build with it. You cant even put make up over it. It will peel off like glue and even looked chapped on your face. On your lips, it makes the upper area feel super tight. It does rid the lines until it wears off. Again, not close to being perm but gives me some hope. They way you are using this isnt what its for. bare minerals is amazing. You have the perfect face so be lucky :)

This one is a definite swerve. I'll stick with the new Dior glow primer, which is excellent

[@LaceyElizabethDesigns]
