Flanerie Face Primer Makeup – Hydrating Pore Primer Minimising Makeup Primer Hyaluronic Acid – Eye Primer Blur - Make up Primer - Eyeshadow Primer - Face Primer for Mature Skin - Professional Primer

I’ve tried quite a few primers over the years, so I wasn’t expecting miracles from the Flanerie Face and Eye Instant Blur Primer. I mainly wanted something hydrating that would smooth my skin and help my make up last a bit better. The texture is light and silky. It spreads easily across the face and under the eyes without dragging. It doesn’t feel greasy or thick, which I really like. Some pore minimising primers can feel quite heavy or silicone heavy, but this one feels more like a light moisturiser with a smoothing effect. It does give a soft blur to the skin. My pores look less obvious and the surface of my skin looks more even once foundation goes on. It’s not a dramatic filter effect, but it definitely smooths texture. I noticed it works nicely around my nose and cheeks where I tend to get visible pores. The hydrating side of it is noticeable too. With hyaluronic acid in it, my skin feels comfortable rather than tight. Under the eyes, it helps concealer sit better and stops it looking too dry. I was a bit unsure about using the same primer for both face and eye area, but it hasn’t caused any irritation for me. As for make up wear, I do think it helps everything stay in place. My base looks fresher for longer and doesn’t separate as quickly around my T zone. It’s not bulletproof, but it gives a bit of extra staying power. If I’m being honest, the blurring effect isn’t extreme. If you’re expecting your pores to completely disappear, this won’t do that. It’s more of a subtle smoothing and skin friendly base. I’d say the Flanerie Face and Eye Instant Blur Primer is a good option if you want a hydrating pore minimising make up base that feels comfortable and gives a soft focus finish. It suits normal to slightly dry skin best in my opinion, especially if you prefer a natural looking base rather than a heavy matte one.

I don’t wear makeup very often, but as this product can be used either under makeup or on its own, I was curious to try it as part of my everyday skincare routine. The instructions suggest applying it alone or beneath foundation to create a smooth, even base, so I tested it without makeup to see how it performed. While I didn’t notice a dramatic visual blurring effect or significant change in skin tone, I did find that my skin felt noticeably hydrated, smooth and soft after application. The texture is very lightweight, easy to spread, and it absorbs quickly without leaving any oily or heavy feeling on the skin. It sits comfortably on the face and feels breathable, which I appreciate as someone who prefers minimal makeup products. The formula has only a very subtle scent compared to some other products from the same brand. The packaging is another highlight, the glass bottle feels premium and looks elegant on display, especially alongside other products from the range. I also appreciate the brand’s values, including plant-based formulas, vegan-friendly products, cruelty-free practices, and recyclable packaging, which makes supporting the brand feel even better. Overall, a lightweight primer that leaves skin feeling smooth, hydrated and comfortable, whether worn alone or under makeup.

it's ok but has awful smell

Not great

I chose this primer because it says it is a hydrating primer. I love hydrating products I've been using it every day for the last 2 weeks and my review is based on that. This primer spreads evenly on the skin and blends perfectly. It doesn't make any wax layer on the skin. I do basic makeup every day. which includes sheer coverage foundation and it is perfect for that with a single layer of concealer. I did not notice any peeling or cracking on the skin. I did retouch the sunscreen and it did not react to it. Since it is a pump. it is easy to use. When it arrived the bottle was already half empty. And there was no sign of leakage. May be I got a already used product. For quality I would recommend it.

This primer feels lightweight and silky on the skin, and it smooths texture while softening the look of pores. It's fragrance free and lasts well throughout the day. It feels hydrating, though the blurring effect is more subtle than dramatic. At £19.85, it's a solid mid-range option.

This primer is so light and fast absorbing, and quite unlike any I've tried before. The texture is silky and it feels weightless. There's no stickiness, no stinging, and it spreads so easily. The pump dispenses the tiniest amount at a time and that's all you need for excellent coverage. It's perfect as a base for foundation or powder as it smooths out, or if you prefer, blurs the fine lines in my mature skin, especially around my eyes, and this prevents powder from settling into them. Make up stays on for longer and transfers less. I have combination skin, reactive and it's prone to outbreaks. I have discovered that this primer stops the shine. It doesn't clog pores and it makes them look less noticeable, more refined. It mattifies my complexion and gives it a smooth, velvety texture, prepping it perfectly for my mineral based make up powder. I wasn't using a primer prior to trying this, and now I wouldn't apply make up without it. I love the look of the bottle and that it's made from glass. It has a premium aesthetic to match the quality of the product it contains. It's made in Italy and it's vegan and cruelty free. I only recently discovered Flanerie and now they're one of my favourite brands for facial products.

This primer gives a nice soft-focus effect and helps create a smoother base before makeup. The texture is lightweight and easy to spread - it doesn’t feel heavy or silicone-heavy on the skin, which I like for everyday use. It slightly blurs pores and fine texture and helps foundation sit more evenly. I also tried it around the eye area and it made concealer apply more smoothly without feeling dry. The finish is natural rather than overly matte - skin still looks like skin, just a bit more refined. It’s not a dramatic pore eraser, but it does give a subtle smoothing effect and helps makeup last better throughout the day.
