Very illuminating
This primer is definitely illuminating and left my skin with a subtle glow. I usually don't use primer before doing my makeup, because I feel like it doesn't really do anything, however this has become a new step in my everyday makeup routine . I don't have a lot of pores, but the pores I have are small on my t-zone and cheeks.

Lifesaver
I have naturally really dark under eyes and when I don’t wear any makeup I look like I haven’t slept in days and this is the perfect product for when I want to look more awake but not have to put on a full face of makeup. I even wear it under my concealer for extra brightness and I am obsessed with it! It’s so creamy and feels very high quality:)

Reminds me of the MAC
Reminds me of the MAC strobe cream, it is very nice and illuminating.

not a fan
I was given a deluxe sample of this product to try, first of all, I find the texture too thick and not so easy too blend. I have to really rub it out which gives me the feeling of very old, gone off makeup product vibes. Once blended at first glance it looked great, nice and pearly, but then very quickly I realised they are quite glitery and the particles isn't as fine as I'd like.

Third time buy ✨
I love this product so much I have gifted to others and bought three times for myself! So nice alone or under foundation for an amazing glow! Big fan of Rare Beauty in general but this is my fav product. Doesn’t gather or make my foundation look patchy as some others have before.
