The Ordinary High-Adherence Silicone Primer 30ml

Never write a review but this is just brilliant. Never had a bad product from this brand but this product is quite exceptional

Works really well to keep my make-up in place all day. A small amount goes a long way.

As you can tell from the images, I've used this product a lot. It is wonderful in many ways, feels fairly light on the skin, makes my skin feel very silky and makes makeup go on easier and blend better.I've removed a star as I personally have to use quite a bit of product to get the desired effects, unfortunately my skin really doesn't like makeup going on it, so it might be more personal to me that this is the case.This is my second or third time ordering this product and using it, though, so clearly I do really like it and find it works well. I enjoy the ordinary products as they are affordable and tend to have simple ingredients, something good for my sensitive skin.

I have never really used primer before, but as a 46 year old with an increaingly deep 'number 1' frown line between my brows, I decided to give a silicone primer a go, given that they adhere and help disguise lines and wrinkles and get the skin prepped for foundation, etc. I haven't used the primer all over my face, but just around my eyes and on my awful frown line. I have been REALLY impressed by it. The slightest amount only is required (my top tip is to not use too much, as it can appear cakey and flake off if overloaded) It is enough to blur the frown line before adding a touch of foundation or concealer. Often I don't even need to use a foundation over the primer as the primer is enough to conceal it. It does not hide the line completely (only botox would do that!!!) but it certainly does make it far less visible. I would highly recommend this primer. It has no colour to it, adheres really well to the skin and is a great base for any other products. At an affordable price also, it is well worth a go.

Yes, the container is small but you only need a small dab. I think if you rush your face then things can get messy, I prep my face, apply moisturiser then SPF and then allow to settle for a couple of minutes whilst I do something else, then a small amount of this primer. The consistency is hard to describe it glides over your skin and gives some but not a lot of blurring, again let it settle before a foundation. This may sound a faff but you get into a routine, I really think it’s important to let each stage ‘settle’, the alternative would be a BB cream where you slap it all in one go.I’ve tried other primers, some way more expensive per unit price, but really like this one.Makeup is of course highly individual but the price is not going to break the bank, just remember get into a routine and allow each stage to settle.

Great primer!!

I bought this after researching primers for mature dry skin but this did nothing for me really. Disappointing as other products I use from The Ordinary work really well for me. I wouldn't waste your money on primers unless you are a makeup artist.

I'm in my 50's with mature skin and decided to give this a go under my tinted moisturisers and BB creams as they tend to drag and look patchy on my wrinkly areas. As this was so cheap i thought why not give it a go. I didn't really expect too much from it to be honest but wow, massive difference in how my makeup looks! My BB cream glides on and is very even all over, no dragging or patches. it's a huge difference and it feels so smooth on your face. Why has no one told me about this before!! I will never be without it now, what a little gem this is!
