Spreading out...
The shade look dark(warm) on my skin, doesn't provide much "coverage" cos it's a primer BUT, it does even out my uneven complexion.

The shade look much more clearer and darker when I see it with my bare eyes (not thru camera len)
So I tried taking pic from another angle and finally can see abit of shade different.

Have been trying this primer on and off for the pass 2 months

I dont have much blemishes, but I do have inflammation on my nose recently(I HATE it!!!!!!!!!) and this primer feel so soothing on the skin during application.(<3)

• The primer dries down to a soft matte finishing, doesn't make skin feel dry nor tight. Doesn't feel thick nor sticky too!

• When I apply this on the face... it doesn't make my face look dark or warm (all thanks to the Adaptive shade techonology) from a normal distance. BUT, when super close up... can see that it's still abit dark on my face, but nobody will stand that close to "anyone" (right?!? lolx).

• When I layer on foundation, it doesn't change the formula nor the foundation shade.

• My skin was pretty dry, and this doesn't make my skin feel even drier.

• As for the oily control : My nose sometimes will shine and this does help in control the shine.

I sweat alot... and when I sweat my face doesn't look too shiny when I use this primer.

(Note:: My skin shade was pretty fair - always pick the lightest shade from most of the brands foundation and some of them still look quite warm on me)

Edit:: 28th July 2012
After posting up the review.. think about a week or two later, my skin have improved alot and NOW.... I'm back to my original skin condition (mild combination skin! Yeah~) Which is why I always reach for this primer to apply on my T-zone.

Using this primer on my nose and chin almost everyday after the review on June (before that I rotate it with other primers). And I noticed a huge improvement on the skin on my nose - white heads kinda reduced (I still use B.liv on my nose at night to soften any "white/black heads formed) and my nose feel smooth and soft. Doesn't have the need to use pores strips.

Any treatments needs time... this primer show good results after using it for 3 months.

How to use::
Apply a thin layer to the face before or in place of foundation to control acne breakouts, reduce oil and minimize the appearance of pores. Use in combination with an ongoing acne treatment regimen such as Murad Acne Complex.

It does help in soothing out the dry cuticle (I squeeze out some on the back of my hand and then apply on my cuticle).. making fingers look moist and youth.(lolx) Does feel oily on the fingers but that was quite normal .. but not oily and watery like cuticle oil.

As lip's treatment, it does soften the dry lips and heal cracked lips quite nicely.
The texture feel like any lip treatment - abit greasy, not sticky and doesn't have the thick waxy texture.
