Being a professional makeup artist, a primer is such an important step in my work, and it is the one thing that I would not compromise on quality. If I have a good base, I am half way there to getting the job done. This primer is a dream to glide onto skin, applies evenly and absorbs quickly. I apply a pea size to the face, and another pea size to cover the neck area. I then gently pat it down with either fingers or a makeup sponge to aid absorption. As with all other primers, it gives best results if I allow at least 3 minutes for the primer to settle before applying makeup - this allows time for the primer to properly. My makeup always glides on effortlessly on top of this primer, and the result is a healthy luminous glow without high shine or glitter. It makes my makeup last longer and my skin feels comfortable and hydrated all day.\n\nIt would be a mistake to think that this primer is only good when paired up with Nude By Nature Mineral Cover. It works just as good for liquid foundations, as well as powder foundations from other brands.\n\nI also particularly like its flat tube packaging which is convenient to store in a drawer or travel bag, and its subtle, uplifting citrus smell. It contains no silicone - which is great for those who have concerns over this ingredient.\n\nThis affordable primer is just as good, or dare I say, even better than some of the "top end" primers which is double or triple the price. Congratulations to Nude by Nature for creating this excellent product.\n

I often avoid using primers as most of them contain so much silicone that they end up irritating my skin more than anything. My daughter actually gave me a tube of this lovely Nude by Nature primer and suggested I use this one; as previously my makeup would always smudge, slide off or look uneven by mid-afternoon. I am very pleased with this primer and can't believe how much better my makeup and skin look since I started using this. The tube is a standard 50ml size and costs just under $30. Although this isn't very cheap, this primer contains a lot of skin nourishing ingredients and doesn't contain the nasty fillers that many other brands contain, and I think these factors make it a great buy.\n\nI have slightly dry skin that's quite sensitive and I therefore always ... MoreI often avoid using primers as most of them contain so much silicone that they end up irritating my skin more than anything.

Although this isn't very cheap, this primer contains a lot of skin nourishing ingredients and doesn't contain the nasty fillers that many other brands contain, and I think these factors make it a great buy.\n\nI have slightly dry skin that's quite sensitive and I therefore always use a moisturiser before applying this primer as I find this helps the primer glide on even easier. I squeeze out a small amount, about the size of a pea, and this is just right for my face. The primer is easy to blend and leaves hardly any residue, just a slight sticky/tacky feeling that goes away after several minutes. I am pleasantly surprised that it doesn't feel heavy or greasy, even though it contains lanolin oil, as listed in the ingredients. This primer just leaves a smooth, hydrating and even base, ready for me to apply my foundation. There is a strong herbal, lemongrass scent that can irritate my skin when I first apply it, but this seems to go away after a few minutes. I would have preferred a fragrance-free or low-fragrance version and this would make the primer a 5-star product for me. This primer works well with liquid foundations and powder foundations; giving a more even, polished complexion. After using this product, I have found that my makeup lasts so much better during the day, my pores are less visible and my foundation doesn't smudge or look uneven. \n\nI am very pleased with this primer, it doesn't provide any colour correction, but a lovely smooth base for makeup, without clogging pores. I think this product would suit all skin types and age groups. \n\nThis is a lovely everyday, must-have beauty product that I highly recommend and will repurchase.\n

I love primers and use them every day, and although I have my favourites I am always willing to try another one. I had just started using Nude by Nature products when I was introduced to the Airbrush Mineral Primer. \n \nThe primer is packaged in an ivory coloured,soft plastic tube with gold writing and a gold screw-on lid. The tube holds 50ml of product. The primer is white and has a lightweight consistency which spreads evenly and smoothly over my skin. \n \nThe Airbrush Mineral Primer is designed to help create a poreless, luminous base for makeup and these are qualities I like in a primer. I have mature, combination skin so I also like that this primer is formulated with vitamins A and E and also green tea to help renew and soothe my skin. \n \nI’ve been using ... MoreI love primers and use them every day, and although I have my favourites I am always willing to try another one.

My foundation applies evenly leaving a lovely healthy glow with no flakiness. I have also found that the primer keeps my makeup in place all day and it looks just as good at the end of the day as it did at the beginning. \n \nI quite like skincare products with a fragrance and this primer smells divine. I’m not sure if it’s a citrus scent I can smell but whatever it is I love it. \n \nI’d definitely recommend the Nude by Nature Airbrush Mineral Primer to anyone with combination skin who is looking for a primer that gives a natural radiance with an airbrushed look. \n \n

This primer is just amazing! Firstly, it has a great fresh but natural fragrance that always reminds this product contains so much plant-based goodness. The primer is under $30 and comes in a 30ml squeezable tube. I use about the size of a pea each time for my whole face, and focus more on my t-zone/pores. It blends in easily, doesn't feel heavy sticky or greasy, and gives me a smooth, even complexion while gently blurring away redness, pores and uneven texture. I find my makeup just glides on easily with no excessive rubbing or streaking and my foundation doesn't settle into pores or lines. I love that it doesn't contain chemicals or artificial ingredients to block my pores, but actually contains different antioxidants to protect and nourish my skin.

Definitely a makeup bag must-have for anyone who wants to create a great, smooth base for their makeup without the harmful chemicals.

I was selected to try the NUDE BY NATURE PERFECTING PRIMER for free from ChickAdvisor in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions and I was blown away! I haven't changed my beauty routine in years as I currently have my staple 'holy grail' products and haven't considered messing up a good thing... until now! My skin is combination/oily so I have hard a really hard time trying to find a non-matte primer that won't look oily instead of dewy. I also have acne scarring that is difficult to hide without the proper coverage and primer.I have been wanting to try the Nude by Nature line for awhile now and was so excited upon the line finally coming to Canada.

Nude by Nature makes 'good for you' makeup that is free from silicone, parabans and synthetics and is made with active natural ingredients that provide benefits that go beyond makeup! The smell of the primer is really nice, it smelt like oranges to me! It comes out white on the fingers but goes on clear. It is super duper easy to spread and a little bit goes a long way. I am used to my old primer so I took way more product then I actually needed so I suggest starting with a small amount and adding more if necessary to avoid wasting! I found that my foundation actually applied more easily and smooth with this primer and I needed less foundation then I normally wear as well.After completing my makeup, this is what I found: my makeup had that dewy look but was not oily in the slightest. My foundation lasted all day (14 hrs start to finish) and this included doing manual labour and heavy lifting in which I broke a sweat more then once! My skin felt smooth and my pores were not noticeable in the slightest. The only concern I had was that I found it did not hide all of my imperfections and my acne scarring was slightly more noticeable when using this primer then when I use my normal primer. But that is the only flaw I was able to find based on effectiveness of the product!Overall, I think this is an amazing drug store primer and I have already used my coupon code to purchase the full size bottle. It is a little costly at $30 + but it is still more then reasonable then many other drug store competitors for the products effects. It did not make me break out and I think it has actually helped the look of my skin overall. I will wear this on days where I don't need that 'flawless' look but still want great coverage and wear. I highly recommend this product to anyone with oily skin looking for a dewy makeup look. I look forward to trying out the other products in the Nude by Nature line as well!

My review is for Nude by Nature Perfecting Eye Primer. I have been searching for a good eye primer for a while and decided to purchase this after reading some great reviews. I was first a little hesitant and worried it may be a bit too tacky, but the tackiness doesn't last once dried. It is a clear thickish primer which dries relatively quickly. It doesn't affect the foundation over my eyes and doesn't leave any creases. I apply only a tiny bit on each lid, and after approx 30 seconds, apply my base shadow and complete my eye makeup. My makeup stays all day and I'm thrilled with this product. The whole range is great and I will be using this eye primer for a long time now... really glad I purchased.

I got this product free for testing purposes from ChickAdvisor & Nude By Nature#GotItFree #LoveNudeByNatureFirst of all, the scent of this primer is AMAZING, it has sort of a green tea scent and I absolutely love it. The texture is very smooth and silky, it's silicon free and personally I prefer silicon based primers for that filling, smoothing effect it has on my pores, but I found this to be filling which surprised me, it gave a nice even base to apply my foundation which I liked, It's not matte but it isn't dewy either. It feels very hydrating and very moisturizing and I'm surprised that it seems to have the lasting power that it does given how hydrating it is. I didn't find it tacky and it dried down pretty quickly but was easy to apply.The full size ... MoreI got this product free for testing purposes from ChickAdvisor & Nude By Nature#GotItFree #LoveNudeByNatureFirst of all, the scent of this primer is AMAZING, it has sort of a green tea scent and I absolutely love it.

The other face primer I recently reviewed the Maybelline Instant age rewind primer is 25ml, so the full size product would be 5ml more product and I've been using the Maybelline for over a year so it would last quiet awhile, and a little does seem to go a long way.The packaging is probably the cutest I've seen to date, it's sort of an off white with rose gold details and I think it's just adorable!. It also seems well made, sturdy and packaged well. I also like how easy it is to read compared to some other packaging from other brands, all the ingredients are listed on the back and easy to read.Thank you so much chickadvisor & Nude By Nature for giving me this opportunity to test these products and meet and fall in love with a new to canada brand!. Can't wait to test more!.

Gives makeup a professional finish

Nude by nature is a great brand and I have tried many products in the range and I believe this primer is one of the best. It’s great value for money and does the same job as some much more expensive primers. I love that it is not at all oily or greasy and leaves my skin with a nice matte feel that feels quite smooth and soft. It’s a very hydrating primer and leaves my skin with a nice clear canvas for makeup application. It virtually makes my pores disappear which is a huge bonus and it’s easy to use and smoothes on easily, sinking straight in. It gives a nice professional finish when makeup is applied and is really high quality. I highly recommend this primer

Great!

I have previously used nude mineral powder for when I want a natural look. So I thought I would try the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer Smooth and Nourish. The first thing I found was that it smelled amazing. Really citrusy... After the smell it was a white gelish type primer. I was happy that it went on really smoothly and evenly. I loved the base it created for my foundation to be applied on to. It gave the base some grip. After the day was up using this primer I found it kept my makeup looking fresh all day! I was extremely happy with this primer. I am happy that it comes at an affordable price. I am extremely happy with this primer and would definitely buy it again.

Water based primer with a silicone feel texture

Nude by Nature is one of those brands that a lot of people feel very strongly against or they really love it. I have always been on the fence with them but this primer has definitely helped me over to the love side.I started using the Nude by Nature Perfecting Primer Smooth & Nourish because I was looking for a very particular texture (similar to a primer I had used in the past and loved) and this was one of the closest matches.The texture of this primer is quite thick but it is easily applied and doesn’t feel heavy on your skin. It offers great coverage without feeling like it is caked on.If you are like me and need to hide enlarges pores or fine lines, this primer will be your new BFF.

It easily smooths over any fine lines and pores, leaving an even, smooth base that is ready for foundation.I have always found that matching the ingredients in your foundation to your primer is the key to getting a great finish, eg a water based primer will not blend well with an silicone based foundation. This is where I ran into some trouble.I assumed (due to the texture and feel of this primer) that is was silicone based and was surprised to discover it was actually water based. So I had to purchase a new foundation to get a great result because my silicone foundation did not adhere to this primer at all.Once the kinks were worked out, I am now very pleased that I switched to water-based as my skin looks much better since.
