so impressed by the visible blurring effect I bought this yesterday because I was in Ulta and had heard good things about this primer, so I decided to try it out on my hand. I was so impressed by the visible blurring effect that I had to purchase it. In my opinion, this primer blows all the other blurring primers out of the water, in terms of blurring effect. It really smooths out your skin and blurs pores and has a mattifying effect. I am rating this five stars on my first impressions and use of this primer and will update this if I have any issues, but so far, it is one of the best primers I have tried and I have tried A LOT. When I am having a good skin day, I can't wait to use this to just blur imperfections and skip foundation. It really is that effective and I love that it is water-based, because most of my foundations are as well. Recently I have been loving TATCHA The Silk Canvas Filter Finish Protective Primer , but this does a much better job at blurring. I still love the tatcha primer, but this surprisingly beats it.
