The foundation doesn't separate at all, and my skin feels incredibly soft and velvety. I layered this primer with a thin coat of Lasting Silk foundation twice, and the skin finish is absolutely mind-blowing. I'm so in love with how beautiful it looks that I can't stop checking myself in the mirror. It's been ages since my skin looked this flawless with makeup. I'm truly amazed at how gorgeous the makeup turned out... Even up close, pores, fine lines, and texture just disappear. I thought it was just an emulsion when applying, but how did it fill everything in so perfectly? I've heard Laura Mercier bases were good and famous, but this is my first time trying one, and wow - I want to show off my skin to everyone I meet. Even from 10cm away, my skin looks as smooth as a boiled egg or a moon jar. It pairs perfectly with Lasting Silk. The primer keeps the skin underneath hydrated while Lasting Silk gives a semi-matte finish on top. When I applied blush, there was zero patchiness. My skin feels so soft and bouncy, I just want to keep touching it. I absolutely love this product!
ConsThe ingredients... While it performs wonderfully, I'm a bit concerned about the full ingredient list. As someone with sensitive skin, I'm worried about the sorbic acid. There are also various types of parabens. After removing my makeup, I noticed some small bumps - not quite pimples, but something slightly raised. However, this could be due to wearing makeup for too long and clogging my pores. I cleansed a few hours after getting home and napping. I can't definitively blame the primer, but these little bumps did appear. They seem like they could be calmed down with a toner or cream. Still, since they did pop up... I wouldn't recommend using this daily. Fortunately, I only wear heavy makeup once or twice a week, so it's fine for me. But if you have sensitive skin and need to wear makeup daily, it might be best to avoid this.
TipThis primer works perfectly with semi-matte foundations. My cheeks are extremely dry, and foundation always separates on my nose. I've always had to accept some separation with even slightly matte foundations, but with this primer, there was no separation even in dry indoor heating. After 6 hours, there's just a slight oiliness on the bridge of my nose, while the rest of my face looks the same as when I applied it this morning. For my nighttime routine, I applied a thick layer of moisturizer. In the morning, I used an exfoliating toner, first essence, hydrating toner (applied twice), and moisturizer. I finished with a non-greasy sunstick, then applied a thin layer of this primer. I was careful not to apply too much to avoid pilling, but it absorbs well so pilling shouldn't be an issue. Apply evenly in the direction of your skin texture, then layer a thin coat of foundation on top for an artistically flawless skin finish.

I have oily skin with large pores, so I absolutely can't go without a primer. First off, it absorbs well and creates a perfect base for makeup. Plus, it really minimizes the appearance of pores. While it doesn't completely erase them, it definitely gives a smooth, flawless complexion. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for that perfect skin finish!
ConsThe only downsides are: 1. The price (it's a bit steep...) 2. The scent (it has a slightly fermented, tangy smell). But honestly, these are minor issues. You should definitely give it a try!

While searching for a hydrating primer, I tested this one at a department store and decided to buy it. It's incredibly moisturizing, and what I love most is how it clings to my skin, creating a smooth appearance. I plan to use it year-round! Highly recommended for those with dry skin.
ConsIf you have oily skin, you might not need Hydrating specifically. Laura Mercier offers five different primers for various skin types, so I'd suggest reading reviews and testing them out. The Oil-Free or Original versions might be better suited for oily skin.

ConsAfter using it for a few days, I started getting huge blemishes popping up from deep within my skin. When I stopped and tried again, it became clear that this product was the cause. While it makes makeup look beautiful, it's such a shame I can't use it due to the breakouts it causes.
TipIt's also great to mix a little bit with your foundation.

ConsI'm not sure if it's because my skin is oily, but hmm... it makes my face look a bit greasy.

There's a big difference between applying foundation after using Laura Mercier primer versus just applying foundation alone. When you use the primer before foundation, your skin looks smoother and more flawless. It really makes your complexion appear healthier!
ConsThe price is a bit disappointing... It seems all the good products are expensive.

I never realized how great primer products could be until now. It's definitely amazing. My skin doesn't feel dry at all, and I'm 80% sure I'll buy it again!
ConsI think the price might be the only downside. But hey, I use just a little bit each time, so it lasts quite a while.
