Product reviews of Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup

Review: hoped for more...
Beauty product: 2 Stars

After reading rave reviews on Sephora and Amazon.com, I was pumped to make The Present my first primer and first Philosophy product.

My introductions to primers began on a vacation at an Ulta where a sales associate turned me to Studio Gear's Prime Objective Primer. I'll admit I was very apprehensive about the silicon feel and it deterred me from purchasing the primer even after the sales associate demonstrated the product on the back of my hand. Later that evening, I was very enthusiastic and surprised that my skin still felt like a baby's bottom. When getting back from my vacation I decided that I would also use the sales associate's advice and purchase a Philosophy product.

Online, I searched for primers and found what I thought would have been a perfect combination of the Ulta advice and purchased The Present by Philosophy. When the package came in the mail I was enthusiastic, looking forward to experiencing the positive reviews found on Sephora and Amazon. Sadly, I was disappointed.

With skin that doesn't undergo much acne, but is prone to redness and uneven texture, I was hoping for The Present to minimize my appearance of pores. I have sensitive/combination skin. My pores tend to be large on my cheeks and lower forehead and trying to treat larger pores with oil reducing cleansers leave my skin completely dry and flaky. What I found with The Present (after cleansing, moisturizing, applying and waiting 2 minutes) was that it leaves my skin very, very soft, but the reduction of pores does not seem to happen. Hoping for an even texture on my face, I applied my powder matte foundation (Bare Minerals) and my depth and appearance of pores seemed to be more prevalent than not using the primer before a make up application.

I did not experience the glue feeling that some people have claimed and I actually enjoyed the smell of lavender in the primer. As with all Philosophy products, the design of the container is very attractive. My disappointment is mostly with the end result.
