- blends well.
I did not notice any evening of my skin tone at all (only the ugly green color). All of the darker spots on my forehead were still just as visible post-application. I also did not see any pore minimization whatsoever. Unfortunately, I have huge pores and with most other primers, I notice that they appear much smaller. This primer didn’t even do that for me.
The only thing that this product did well is moisturize my skin, but I’ve used less expensive primers and moisturizers that have delivered the same result. Other failed claims include the promise that this
brightens the skin. I did not notice any brightening effects at all and even asked my mother to comment on whether she thought it did anything for my skin (and she said no). While this primer did do the job of preparing my skin for the liquid foundation that I applied after, it didn’t really impress me.
I fully intend to take this back to Ulta to get my money back. Though very hydrating, it was ultimately ineffective. Do not waste your time, money, or energy trying the Almay Smart Shade Perfect and Correct Skin Primer out. It really is not worth the money!
