Over the years of using face primers I have grown to love the silicone-based primers as they feel silky-smoothe, they mattify my oily skin, reduce the appearance of pores and any areas of dry skin. So, in saying this, when I bought this L'oreal primer I was going against everything I trust just to try a new primer.
This primer, the L'oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer, presents itself more like a cream primer rather than a silicone primer in the jar, but on further inspection of the contents of the jar the product is noticably a silicone-based primer to the eye and to the touch.
It feels silky as it glides onto the skin and, as I noticed today that I didn't notice before, it mattifies impressively (I normally wash, moisturize, apply primer and then apply makeup to my face all one after the other but today I waited a few hours before applying primer and makeup leaving me time to notice a developing oily t-zone before applying the primer).
Being a sufferer of oily/combination skin I have the not so joyful pores and the occasional dry spots to smoothe over too, which I find that this product does for me as I'd expect any other silicone-based primer to do.
For best results apply primer then wait a couple of minutes before applying foundation for even and smoothe coverage.
