I knew it was user error 😂 i was using way too much and then not working fast enough in small sections... just put it on how you demonstrated it, and it's amazing! My best friend and I affectionately refer to you as our home girl 😂 your anti aging advice hasn't steered us wrong. She just signed up for the agency, and I have most of your skin care routine down. Thank you for everything, home girl! ❤
It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but this truly is a case of less is more. A tiny amount goes a long way and, applied correctly, it is absolutely amazing on my horrendous pores. I was leery about using my full skin care regimen, so this video was much appreciated. It's good to know that I don't have to give up any of my favorite products in order to get great results.
YAY - You listened! I actually was one of those who requested this tutorial and I SO appreciate. Thank you - I can't wait to try them again and have success this time. Appreciate you! 🥰
Thank you so very much! I have been wanting to try this but I wasn’t willing to give up my skincare either and I haven’t seen anyone actually demonstrate using the skincare before applying. I always trust your opinion, I use many of the products and devices you have recommended and have been very happy. I’m 55, I’m post menopause then had a radical hysterectomy and something else I can’t remember the name of. I started seeing a major change in my skin. I have just started in the past year to really get into skincare and especially sunscreen. I have learned a lot from you and a couple others. Thank you for sharing your knowledge from your experience.
I think I might return mine. I don’t have time to wait for all that drying and therefore likely either won’t use it or will and it won’t look good. It does look spectacular on you! I’ve been loving my Huda Beauty jam primer so much and it doesn’t need to dry down.
It's a miracle primer. Like you, I apply my skincare first and then I mix Dr. Green's and Paula's Choice sunscreen and then the miracle primer to cheeks, nose and chin. I use the Chanel One foundation and my daughter asked me what I was doing different because my skin looked so smooth. Always a feel good moment with that type of compliment. Thanks Angie for finding this wonderful primer.
I bought the primer and the Tarte powder foundation after watching your video. I have been using your exact a.m. regimen for over a year but found this primer was still too drying for me. I went back to using my Ilia tinted skin serum, which is very shiny looking and I had been using a blurring powder over. I like the Tarte blurring powder foundation you recommended much better. I now use the primer just on my nose, so it won't be wasted nor did I need to return it to Sephora.
Love this product!After using PTR FirmX under my eyes for the past three years, this is such an improvement! Far less room for error. I let my moisturizer soak in under my eyes and then apply. Once it flattens the puffiness and mattifies- I don’t need a concealer 😊
Are you saying you prefer the PTR FirmX "primer" better than the Instant FirmX "Eye" (in the black tube) to use under the eyes? My husband has pretty severe bags and puffiness under his eyes, and I've been thinking about getting him this product to try. He's been asking me about it!! Would you suggest I buy the "primer" product instead instead of the one for the eyes? Is there any fragrance? Thanks so much! : )
SO grateful you did this! I got the primer last week and every time I tried it, I ended up with pilling. I was so bummed! I figured it was "operator error" but didn't know what to do to make it work. I will give your tips a try tomorrow. Thank you as always!!!!
Bought it and works for me. Apply skincare and sunscreen. Wait about 15 minutes and apply PTR. Wait 5 minutes and apply Jane Iredale powder foundation. I finish up with setting spray.
I just bought it and nice to see a video giving a fair and honest review with techniques. What I’m gathering is that it’s a great product if used properly and used on special occasions when you have extra time to get ready. It seems like it’s not for daily use due to the time it takes to apply /dry
It’s a holy grail for me! I use it over my skin care and sunscreen and then apply my IT CC Cream over and wow what a difference! Of course the only reason I even tried this primer was because of you Angie! So worth it!!
I actually love this primer. I have acne scarring and it really helps to smooth out texture. It’s a little tricky but it does work once you figure out!
@@rainxinxblack21 well I guess it depends on what type of scars you have but I have a couple of ice pick scars on my cheeks and I just smooth the primer over them and it fills them in. They are similar to large pores. Obviously my face isn’t perfect but the primer helps a lot.
@@AngieHotandFlashy Thank you Angie. I tried it first and got the hot mess. But after your tutorial, I tried it again being careful with your tips and magic!
It was too finicky for me. I don't have an extra 10 min in the morning to wait for my primer to dry. Still love everything you share with us! Thanks Angie!
I use it primarily for my under eyes. I don't have much discoloration, but hereditary deeper crevices that always cast shadows. I have tried so many concealers and haven't gotten any to look much better than none at all - plus sometimes the build up makes the area look worse. This primer is nothing short of amazing. It does have a learning curve, but at 63 I didn't think anything could ever work as well as this does for me. I apply all of my sunscreen and then makeup avoiding the under eye. I put contacts in (I can see better to apply makeup without them) and then the last step is putting this primer on so I don't pull on that area inserting contacts. Thank you for introducing it to me!
Thank you for doing this. Really appreciate it. I was one of those that wrote to you and told you that when I did it straight on my skin, it really dried out my skin and tore it up. But now I’ve been using my serums and my sunscreen, my moisturizer, and I’m having better results. I do not like the tart Foundation. I’m using liquid foundation. I find that a little bit drying for my skin. I was actually spreading more product further all over my face completely like moisturizer. Not using a lot. It never caked up on me. Your face looks immaculate! You are my idol.
I have also been using it both ways. I usually let my skin care sit for half hour. I also use the powder, but not on peely days from Retin-a. Then I use liquid foundation.
Thank you❗️ I’m 47, I just started to attempt to use makeup outside the same MAC blush, eyeliner, & lipgloss I’ve used since 1994. It’s been a disaster. I can’t find any foundation that matches me and yes I tried the Sephora test & it didn’t match outside the store, I tried the vein test and impossible. I can’t tell if they’re blue, green, purple…and neither can my 20-year-old daughter. I gave up on finding foundation, bought this & was about to return because it started flaking on the bottom but I was applying it like moisturizer 🤦🏻♀️. Tried it again and now I got it. Thanks again 🙏🏻
Thanks for the tips Angie! They made a world of difference for me and I can now wear the primer daily and not just for special evening occasions. Went from hot mess to holy grail! 4:10
I have had no issues using this, even or slightly damp moisturizer at night or sunscreen during the day. It’s not a full face product and less is more. I use it on marionette lines, nasolabial folds and the crater-like, suborbital pores on my cheeks. So glad that you brought this to our attention as it has become part of my daily routine. I make coffee while it sets up! Thank you Angie!
❤❤❤. I'm so glad you did this. I have seen SO MANY people use this and then bash it. Thanks for sharing your secrets!! You're a mountain of valuable info!! ❤
I've had this primer for a few weeks now; used it a couple of times but after I watched your video, I went upstairs with a renewed fervor to make it work - and it DID. After I put my makeup on I went to talk to my husband for a bit . . . He pays VERY LITTLE TO NO attention to whatever makeup I'm using (he says I always look the same: "GREAT!" - what a guy! ... no help w/objective feedback). We're aged 60's and 70's, I'm the younger one. Anyway, I'm sitting there & we're talking & he suddenly says - "Wow - you look younger all the time! Your skin looks great!" And I replied "Well, it's the good skin care. products - - - so you agree the cost is worth it ??? (referencing a recent Vintner's Daughter purchase). So mission accomplished. The primer really works if my husband noticed my skin looking good and he also agrees that we need to spend money on skin care. And - BY THE WAY - - I've got him exfoliating and moisturizing his dry skin; he would get really flaky on his forehead and it's all fixed now with some Paula's Choice products... even have him using Timeless Vit C serum.
I bought this and had to return it! It was definitely a hot mess for me. It pilled and made my skin look awful. I even let my 26yr old daughter try it because i thought it was my dry skin. She hated it also. It just did not mesh with my skincare products or foundations. It went back sephora.🙁
Same here ….and this was actually the first PTR product that was a fail 🤷♀️. But I’m glad to see someone else’s comment reflect my experience as well 😊.
I didn't experience pilling.. I felt it was too dry and as the day went on my complexion looked dull.. I returned it and picked up the Caliray. I'm Loving it!!
I used this for the first time this past weekend. I’ve never been so impressed with a skin care/make up product! My 70 year old skin looked amazing. The pores disappeared, really! Appreciate your tips, Angie. Your video will only help to improve my protocol. Many thanks! ❤
I..may.. give this a try. But I did try the smaller tube from PTR for the eyes and that was a hot mess. At 61 I don't have much creasing around the eyes but I did try a little there. I primarily bought it for my nasolabial. I can see if you don't wear makeup but when I have no makeup days I just use Colorscience sunscreen, eye pencil and lipstick. I used very little, so no pilling but the effect didn't last long enough to spend $50. To all those that it works for, good for you! 👏🏼
Hi everyone, I used mine this Saturday for the 1st time, just on the most wrinkly areas of my face. Applied it mid morning. 10:30 Saturday night I began itching & seeing small bumps appearing on my forehead. It then started on the other side of my forehead and soon on my cheeks and around my marionette lines. It also then started itching on my hand I had tested it out on. Took antihistimine & got through til Sunday A.M. then hubs went to Walgreens & a pharmacist picked out a Cetaphil generic cleanser & some anti itch lotion. Cold compresses all the suggested methods did not work. Was able to sleep overnight but now I got up with the itching again. Feels like it may be spreading ,or my mind is playing tricks on me; It drives a girl nuts!!! Today will go to the walk-in. My point is that now that this happened I saw many many complaints online just like mine. So this product should be tested on yourself before using it as it's intended. Hoping this helps someone else
Thanks for this Angie. I found ,through this video, that I was not waiting long enough for ny sunscreen to dry and I had also not shaken the tube of primer enough. You are always so helpful -thank you!
WOW, SO SO WORTH THE TIME IT NEEDS. I am 70 a retired Esthetician and my skin ( our age group) NEEDS & DESERVES A CALM TIME CONSUMING skincare/ Makeup up SESH !! Seriously I beyond and without a doubt truly believe the whole One & Done is for either 4 the younger skin or even well maintained semi texture and line free more mature skin. Products simply work better when they are absorbed into the skin, layer by layer A Mature skin woman at her Vanity table should think of this TIME as meditative, fun, relaxing, a form of expressive art Ladies 2 much time u say? U don't have time ? Please reconsider TIME & PREP ARE THE REAL MAGIC OF TRANSFORMATION !! with kids grown and out the door just you and hubbies or honey you deserve the time Your skin, your makeup application will look and feel DRAMATICALLY better than this now a days I don't have time one & done obsessive way of today. We are in and at an age to be pampered because our will prove it I absolutely LOVE my wake up and makeup daily routine weather I stay home or go out looking like the best possible you is a gift 4u❤ Angie, been following you 4 ever on ur journey and transformation TIME & patience doing the work on ur skin and makeup u look more beautiful now than even ever b4. The Peter Thomas Roth is an added bonus , thank you❤
I use the same skincare routine you demonstrate and sunscreen. I have also used with my CT Beautiful foundation and Fenty pro Powder. I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the detailed video Angie! Not all products work the same for all women. I certainly have tried techniques from makeup artists and others than don't work for me.
I really noticed the difference with the primer. I was just discharged from a HK hospital this evening and I had a lovely conversation this afternoon with a student doctor. She uses Retin A (for acne) and Ellta MD sunblock and a Spanish Sunblock whose name I can’t recall. Thanks to Angie I could discuss the merits of both products! A shout out to all the hardworking amazing doctors and medical students in HK.
I bought it and loved it! I used Fresh Rose Deep Hydrating Oil-infused Serum under, then I still used moisturizer everywhere but my t-zone before applying. If it's pilling then try less, but might not react well with certain products anyway.
Too bad most of us don’t have 45 min to do all this waiting while things set and what not. I bought this duo, used twice, it pilled up on me and I waited the time said. This was a no for me, and at $84 for both, they went back quick! Usually Angie’s recommendation is spot on for me, but not this time. I’ve used makeup enuf to know that a 3rd time using this would not get better. Also this Tarte Foundation oxidized darker on me and looked awful. Angie is my go to for all things Beauty, as I usually wear the same shades, but this was a mess on my skin. I’m 58 with similar skin as Angie. I was bummed it didn’t work for me, but it is what it is!
Thank you! I purchased this based on your recommendation and am very impressed with how well it works on bare skin, but I had all the same questions that you answered in this video.
i have 4 days left before i have to send both back. i’ll try it one more time. i bought it to lift sagging skin. it does a little but only for 30 mins or so. i don’t have large pores but glad it works for you. the powder is overrated imo, i would only use it on my nose and middle of my chin, it magnifies my small wrinkles elsewhere. there are many 10$ powders that do the same thing. those 2 products are what? about 80 bucks? it needs to do more for that price, at least on my skin.
yea i tried it again today with the worse results yet. peeled and pilled everywhere, had to take everything off and start over. the only product i would recommend from PTR is his Pumpkin enzyme mask.
Thanks Angie! I think that a product either works or does not work based on the method in which it is applied. Seems like this one is a winner if used correctly. 😊
So glad you revisited this primer. I was ready to return mine but now I realize I was doing it all wrong. I’m going to try again using ur method. Thanks Angie! You really listen to ur followers and I appreciate that immensely. ❤
So glad you clarified your application because I wasn't loving how it kinda accentuated my fine lines around my eyes but can't wait to retry your method!! xo💖
Hi 👋🏼 I think you have to consider different skin types, the kind of weather where you live, etc. It worked for me, I kind of do same protocol as you, on my 7 min wait I laid down so my face is for sure not moving. Lol How ever, today here in Houston was extremely humid (and is not summer yet 😩) and I felt my skin was sticky I touched my chin and I felt like a think layer on my skin, then I remembered I had the primer. My skin type is oily and I use the Australian Gold spf. Again works perfect when is not hot and humid outside. For me. Thanks for the demo!💜
Just got this the other day from Ulta’s 21 days of beauty sale and tried it a few times over and under different foundations and sunscreens. This was a major fail and is on its way to be returned. Despite how sparingly I applied and no matter how lightly I patted or rubbed, it pilled like crazy. For me, good old Mally Beauty Poreless Face Defender does a fantastic job erasing pores, can go over anything without pilling, and gently controls oil. Mally is a product that only requires a few pats with its sponge, is not sensitive to application method, and costs less. Both the Mally and PTR are silicone, but Mally is drier and doesn’t require a tutorial.
I have all the same exact products you do and just tried this. It did OK right by my nose, and stayed smooth, but over towards my cheek, and under my chin it did turn into a crusty mess. I think one trick is you have to be super fast and put it on super thin and do not try to fix it or add anything to it. I will try this application again next time and see if it helps.
I think very few skin care and cosmetic items work exactly the same on ALL skin types. It's hit and miss in my opinion. I think it's wonderful that it works for you Angie!
Thank you for being so detail oriented on this application! I appreciate your time and detailed explanation. Your makeup looks lovely and classy!! BTW I saw your agency ad in one of my activewear influencer video. For me, it was the first time I see you in an ad. I told my husband, “I know her!😂 and he smiled at me. It was nice to see a familiar face. I watched it to the very end🙂 Have a great week!
I just randomly found you and am very happy I did! This was such an informative video. You're so easy to follow and not over the top. Such a great video!
It is a winner for me. I love it so much! I just wear it like a normal primer, over my skin care. I even like it under my eyes. I am 54 for reference. (I use it under my Makeup Forever HD liquid foundation)
This video is so timely! The first time I used the combo I was amazed and *astonished* by the results! The second time I veered into hot mess territory, so I’ve been meaning to go back and rewatch the original video. Just goes to show that how you use the product makes a huge difference. Btw, any insight as to when your brushes may be back in stock? Thanks!
Thanks for showing us the correct way to apply TRP. I almost gave up on the product as it made my makeup looked awful. Looking forward to applying it tonight. :)
Thanks for the demo on this product Angie. I allowed all my skin care to dry down for an hour before I applied this product. I just don't think this product works well with the sunscreen. I'm using the Elta MD UV Physical and the product pilled instantly on applying the primer. I will have to try with the sunscreen you were using.
LOVE it. I've been using it a couple weeks now after Angie tried it with the PUR 4 in 1 powder. I've been getting SO many compliments! I also use a little on my neck which is a game changer if you have some sagging there.
I bought this the minute you had your recommendation on it. I’ve used it but it has been hit or miss. I follow your am skin care routine but I think I wasn’t waiting long enough between skin care and application of the primer… Ready to try it again. Thank you Angie!
I’m so glad you posted this video. I couldn’t figure out why my primer piled and yours didn’t. I use the same sunscreen as you. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better!
I was having trouble applying the primer - but started applying by section for better results. But, haven’t been able to make it work with my under eye concealer. Thanks for the additional information.
Thank you for the detailed application. I noticed you did not apply on your nose. Has anyone had luck using it on your nose? That’s where my biggest pores are. Ty
I bought it after you recommended it and I LOVE it!! It definitely takes some practice - but it's awesome once you figure it out. I actually apply my sunscreen AND all of my makeup besides powder and THEN I apply a sheer coat of the PTR primer and it mattifies and tightens my skin. You are so helpful. Thank you!
I just repurchased the Milk Gripping Primer, and my other 2 are NYX Marshmallow Primer or Laura Mercier. So, I probably won't be trying it. BUT, any video I always get something out of. I love the R and R sunscreen! Thank you for trying to explain this for those who purchased it! Have a great rest of your week! ~lori
I am going to try this again and do the technique u used to see if it will work with my Dior Foundation, it broke my foundation up in the crease of my nose so maybe I will not put it there next time .. thanks angie u have helped me so much !
Awesome video and very thorough… My friend bought this a couple of months ago and sometimes it does not do that well after her make up application so I’m glad to see how you apply
I'm so happy for this video...I am still struggling with this primer as well and had such high hopes for it.. Hopefully after this video I can make it work!
Thank you for this video! I actually purchased the primer and it did not work for me but that was because I was not using it properly. I plan on reordering. Appreciate your information, too!
Yayyyyy! You read my wishful mind. I bought this based on your other video recommendation and haven't had great luck with it either. About to watch this new video to get fresh new advice or perspective. Thank you SO MUCH for making this! The timing is perfect bc I just bought this a few days ago and have been having issues with it.
Def the video we need to make a success of the primer. I haven't make the winter trek to Ulta to get it Waiting for expert video Looks like drying/ setting time is SO important. Thanks for exact instructions!!! You look fab!
I knew it was user error 😂 i was using way too much and then not working fast enough in small sections... just put it on how you demonstrated it, and it's amazing! My best friend and I affectionately refer to you as our home girl 😂 your anti aging advice hasn't steered us wrong. She just signed up for the agency, and I have most of your skin care routine down. Thank you for everything, home girl! ❤
I just don’t have the time to wait for all it to dry to complete getting ready. Glad to see it works for you.
Try putting it on before you get dressed.

I bought this and had to return it! It was definitely a hot mess for me. It pilled and made my skin look awful. I even let my 26yr old daughter try it because i thought it was my dry skin. She hated it also. It just did not mesh with my skincare products or foundations. It went back sephora.🙁
Same here ….and this was actually the first PTR product that was a fail 🤷♀️. But I’m glad to see someone else’s comment reflect my experience as well 😊.
Sorry it didn't work for you...
Same for me. I was so disappointed.
I didn't experience pilling.. I felt it was too dry and as the day went on my complexion looked dull.. I returned it and picked up the Caliray. I'm Loving it!!
I used this for the first time this past weekend. I’ve never been so impressed with a skin care/make up product! My 70 year old skin looked amazing. The pores disappeared, really! Appreciate your tips, Angie. Your video will only help to improve my protocol. Many thanks! ❤
I..may.. give this a try. But I did try the smaller tube from PTR for the eyes and that was a hot mess. At 61 I don't have much creasing around the eyes but I did try a little there. I primarily bought it for my nasolabial. I can see if you don't wear makeup but when I have no makeup days I just use Colorscience sunscreen, eye pencil and lipstick. I used very little, so no pilling but the effect didn't last long enough to spend $50. To all those that it works for, good for you! 👏🏼
I could not get this to work with the Dior foundation, and I was hoping you would do a tutorial video!!! Thank you so much!
Hope it helps!
Hi everyone, I used mine this Saturday for the 1st time, just on the most wrinkly areas of my face. Applied it mid morning. 10:30 Saturday night I began itching & seeing small bumps appearing on my forehead. It then started on the other side of my forehead and soon on my cheeks and around my marionette lines. It also then started itching on my hand I had tested it out on. Took antihistimine & got through til Sunday A.M. then hubs went to Walgreens & a pharmacist picked out a Cetaphil generic cleanser & some anti itch lotion. Cold compresses all the suggested methods did not work. Was able to sleep overnight but now I got up with the itching again. Feels like it may be spreading ,or my mind is playing tricks on me; It drives a girl nuts!!! Today will go to the walk-in. My point is that now that this happened I saw many many complaints online just like mine. So this product should be tested on yourself before using it as it's intended. Hoping this helps someone else
Thanks for this Angie. I found ,through this video, that I was not waiting long enough for ny sunscreen to dry and I had also not shaken the tube of primer enough. You are always so helpful -thank you!
Thanks, Angie.....as you say, this was "helpful and informative". Really appreciate you filming your step-by-step routine.
Yay!
WOW, SO SO WORTH THE TIME IT NEEDS. I am 70 a retired Esthetician and my skin ( our age group) NEEDS & DESERVES A CALM TIME CONSUMING skincare/ Makeup up SESH !! Seriously I beyond and without a doubt truly believe the whole One & Done is for either 4 the younger skin or even well maintained semi texture and line free more mature skin.
Products simply work better when they are absorbed into the skin, layer by layer A
Mature skin woman at her Vanity table should think of this TIME as meditative, fun, relaxing, a form of expressive art
Ladies 2 much time u say? U don't have time ? Please reconsider TIME & PREP ARE THE REAL MAGIC OF TRANSFORMATION !! with kids grown and out the door just you and hubbies or honey you deserve the time
Your skin, your makeup application will look and feel DRAMATICALLY better than this now a days I don't have time one & done obsessive way of today. We are in and at an age to be pampered because our will prove it
I absolutely LOVE my wake up and makeup daily routine weather I stay home or go out looking like the best possible you is a gift 4u❤
Angie, been following you 4 ever on ur journey and transformation TIME & patience doing the work on ur skin and makeup u look more beautiful now than even ever b4. The Peter Thomas Roth is an added bonus , thank you❤
I use the same skincare routine you demonstrate and sunscreen. I have also used with my CT Beautiful foundation and Fenty pro Powder. I'm very happy with the results. Thanks for the detailed video Angie! Not all products work the same for all women. I certainly have tried techniques from makeup artists and others than don't work for me.
I really noticed the difference with the primer. I was just discharged from a HK hospital this evening and I had a lovely conversation this afternoon with a student doctor. She uses Retin A (for acne) and Ellta MD sunblock and a Spanish Sunblock whose name I can’t recall. Thanks to Angie I could discuss the merits of both products! A shout out to all the hardworking amazing doctors and medical students in HK.
Maybe it was ISDN, its made in Spain. Good stuff!
I'm happy you're out of the hospital and hope you're feeling 100% asap if you're not already.
Glad you're out of the hospital! Sounds like a great conversation with the student doctor! Wonder if it was ISDIN sunscreen?
I bought it and loved it! I used Fresh Rose Deep Hydrating Oil-infused Serum under, then I still used moisturizer everywhere but my t-zone before applying. If it's pilling then try less, but might not react well with certain products anyway.
I tried the primer and you are right, it works amazingly
Thanks Angie, I'll try the primer again with putting it on top of my sunscreen and see if it works better for me. Have a great day!
Too bad most of us don’t have 45 min to do all this waiting while things set and what not. I bought this duo, used twice, it pilled up on me and I waited the time said. This was a no for me, and at $84 for both, they went back quick! Usually Angie’s recommendation is spot on for me, but not this time. I’ve used makeup enuf to know that a 3rd time using this would not get better. Also this Tarte Foundation oxidized darker on me and looked awful. Angie is my go to for all things Beauty, as I usually wear the same shades, but this was a mess on my skin. I’m 58 with similar skin as Angie. I was bummed it didn’t work for me, but it is what it is!
Sorry it didn't work for you Robin.
Primer & Tarte powder foundation worked for me! Thanks for revisiting this product to hopefully help others out!
Thank you! I purchased this based on your recommendation and am very impressed with how well it works on bare skin, but I had all the same questions that you answered in this video.
Thanks for this! Hated that it recommended "clean dry skin". At 67, I need my skincare! Will try this tomorrow. So appreciative that you did this!
I love the PTR too. It worked for my pores. Just use a little. Angie, your skin is flawless!
i have 4 days left before i have to send both back. i’ll try it one more time. i bought it to lift sagging skin. it does a little but only for 30 mins or so. i don’t have large pores but glad it works for you. the powder is overrated imo, i would only use it on my nose and middle of my chin, it magnifies my small wrinkles elsewhere. there are many 10$ powders that do the same thing. those 2 products are what? about 80 bucks? it needs to do more for that price, at least on my skin.
yea i tried it again today with the worse results yet.
peeled and pilled everywhere, had to take everything off and start over. the only product i would recommend from PTR is his Pumpkin enzyme mask.
Thanks Angie! I think that a product either works or does not work based on the method in which it is applied. Seems like this one is a winner if used correctly. 😊
So glad you revisited this primer. I was ready to return mine but now I realize I was doing it all wrong. I’m going to try again using ur method. Thanks Angie! You really listen to ur followers and I appreciate that immensely. ❤
Hello, another gem for pores is the Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum by CLINIQUE and the price tag, is resonnable.
So glad you clarified your application because I wasn't loving how it kinda accentuated my fine lines around my eyes but can't wait to retry your method!! xo💖
Hi 👋🏼
I think you have to consider different skin types, the kind of weather where you live, etc.
It worked for me, I kind of do same protocol as you, on my 7 min wait I laid down so my face is for sure not moving. Lol
How ever, today here in Houston was extremely humid (and is not summer yet 😩) and I felt my skin was sticky I touched my chin and I felt like a think layer on my skin, then I remembered I had the primer.
My skin type is oily and I use the Australian Gold spf.
Again works perfect when is not hot and humid outside. For me.
Thanks for the demo!💜
Just got this the other day from Ulta’s 21 days of beauty sale and tried it a few times over and under different foundations and sunscreens. This was a major fail and is on its way to be returned. Despite how sparingly I applied and no matter how lightly I patted or rubbed, it pilled like crazy. For me, good old Mally Beauty Poreless Face Defender does a fantastic job erasing pores, can go over anything without pilling, and gently controls oil. Mally is a product that only requires a few pats with its sponge, is not sensitive to application method, and costs less. Both the Mally and PTR are silicone, but Mally is drier and doesn’t require a tutorial.
I have all the same exact products you do and just tried this. It did OK right by my nose, and stayed smooth, but over towards my cheek, and under my chin it did turn into a crusty mess. I think one trick is you have to be super fast and put it on super thin and do not try to fix it or add anything to it. I will try this application again next time and see if it helps.
I think very few skin care and cosmetic items work exactly the same on ALL skin types. It's hit and miss in my opinion. I think it's wonderful that it works for you Angie!
Both foundations looked beautiful, but the side with the tart powder foundation looked a lot better than the other.
To me what is amazing is what a difference eyeliner and mascara make such a difference !!! Gorgeous!!
Thank you Angie! I am definitely going to try this primer and I am going to get the sunscreen you use. I can't wait to get my new skin care!
Thank you for being so detail oriented on this application! I appreciate your time and detailed explanation. Your makeup looks lovely and classy!! BTW I saw your agency ad in one of my activewear influencer video. For me, it was the first time I see you in an ad. I told my husband, “I know her!😂 and he smiled at me. It was nice to see a familiar face. I watched it to the very end🙂 Have a great week!
Love that!!
@@AngieHotandFlashy Yes, I saw that ad too and had the same reaction. I thought, good for you! They could not have picked anyone better.
I just randomly found you and am very happy I did! This was such an informative video. You're so easy to follow and not over the top. Such a great video!
Thanks so much Jennifer! I'm so happy you found me too!
Thank you for your kind comment. I think it may have been ISDIN which I’ll try. Thank you for all your posts
Perfect! Loved your explanation and application, so very helpful. I have purchased and this was just what I needed to perfect my application.
It is a winner for me. I love it so much! I just wear it like a normal primer, over my skin care. I even like it under my eyes. I am 54 for reference. (I use it under my Makeup Forever HD liquid foundation)
What do you use to apply the foundation, a sponge or brush?
@@BlingyBea my beauty blender sponge😊
This video is so timely! The first time I used the combo I was amazed and *astonished* by the results! The second time I veered into hot mess territory, so I’ve been meaning to go back and rewatch the original video. Just goes to show that how you use the product makes a huge difference. Btw, any insight as to when your brushes may be back in stock? Thanks!
I heard June... 🤞
That looks AMAZING What a product.Never seen your makeup look so good
Thanks for showing us the correct way to apply TRP. I almost gave up on the product as it made my makeup looked awful. Looking forward to applying it tonight. :)
this is so helpful! I didn't understand how you used sunscreen and makeup and now I finally get it!! ❤
I hope they come up with a mini size , just to give it a try , before purchasing the full size .
It's very small 30ml
Thank you so much I didn’t wait long enough. I will try it like you showed. Thank you again great video!
Thanks for the demo on this product Angie. I allowed all my skin care to dry down for an hour before I applied this product. I just don't think this product works well with the sunscreen. I'm using the Elta MD UV Physical and the product pilled instantly on applying the primer. I will have to try with the sunscreen you were using.
UV Physical contains a lot of silicones that mainly sit on top of the skin, so I'm not surprised it didn't play well with the primer.
LOVE it. I've been using it a couple weeks now after Angie tried it with the PUR 4 in 1 powder. I've been getting SO many compliments! I also use a little on my neck which is a game changer if you have some sagging there.
Will have to try it on my neck!
I bought this the minute you had your recommendation on it. I’ve used it but it has been hit or miss. I follow your am skin care routine but I think I wasn’t waiting long enough between skin care and application of the primer… Ready to try it again. Thank you Angie!
I’m so glad you posted this video. I couldn’t figure out why my primer piled and yours didn’t. I use the same sunscreen as you. I’m hoping tomorrow will be better!
I was having trouble applying the primer - but started applying by section for better results. But, haven’t been able to make it work with my under eye concealer. Thanks for the additional information.
I tried it by itself and love it! I'm going to try the way you suggest with makeup. 😄
Thank you for the detailed application. I noticed you did not apply on your nose. Has anyone had luck using it on your nose? That’s where my biggest pores are. Ty
I bought it after you recommended it and I LOVE it!! It definitely takes some practice - but it's awesome once you figure it out. I actually apply my sunscreen AND all of my makeup besides powder and THEN I apply a sheer coat of the PTR primer and it mattifies and tightens my skin. You are so helpful. Thank you!
I'll have to try it that way!
Thank you so much for the detail you provide in all of your videos!! This is awesome!!
I just repurchased the Milk Gripping Primer, and my other 2 are NYX Marshmallow Primer or Laura Mercier. So, I probably won't be trying it. BUT, any video I always get something out of. I love the R and R sunscreen! Thank you for trying to explain this for those who purchased it! Have a great rest of your week! ~lori
I am going to try this again and do the technique u used to see if it will work with my Dior Foundation, it broke my foundation up in the crease of my nose so maybe I will not put it there next time .. thanks angie u have helped me so much !
Awesome video and very thorough… My friend bought this a couple of months ago and sometimes it does not do that well after her make up application so I’m glad to see how you apply
I love the product its my OG all time favorites ❤️ the primer and skin and eye tightening face tightening ❤❤❤❤❤ my favorite
Thank you making this video. I was having trouble using the primer with my foundation as well but will try again with your great tips.
This is great timing, I just ordered this primer a couple days ago and it should arrive in a couple days. I will try these tips. Thanks Angie!
I prefer how you look before this primer. You had this nice looking glow !!😊 But this is my opinion...
I'm so happy for this video...I am still struggling with this primer as well and had such high hopes for it.. Hopefully after this video I can make it work!
Every time I see you without make up I am so shocked at how naturally beautiful you are.Just wow.
I bought the primer and powder foundation when you talked about it previously and I love it! Have used it everyday since!
Awesome!! So happy you love it!!
Thank you for this video! I actually purchased the primer and it did not work for me but that was because I was not using it properly. I plan on reordering. Appreciate your information, too!
Thank you for this video using it like you do a little bit in a spot and working it in works really good
Yayyyyy! You read my wishful mind. I bought this based on your other video recommendation and haven't had great luck with it either. About to watch this new video to get fresh new advice or perspective. Thank you SO MUCH for making this! The timing is perfect bc I just bought this a few days ago and have been having issues with it.
Thank you for the clip. I'm impressed by the product and by your attention to detail in the clip. I'll be subscribing.
Such good timing! I bought this, used it once and it “pilled” with my Elta MD sunscreen. I can’t wait to see how you make it work. Thank you!
I ordered this based off your first video where you talked about this and can’t wait to try it. ❤
Love the look! Thank you for sharing your tips as always - AWESOME!
Thanks for the update. I thought it was just me that had the pilling and rolls. I'm going to try the dragging - I have been patting. 😃
I bought this and I absolutely love it Angie. Thank you
Def the video we need to make a success of the primer. I haven't make the winter trek to Ulta to get it
Waiting for expert video
Looks like drying/ setting time is SO important. Thanks for exact instructions!!! You look fab!
Thank you for explaining a bit further - helpful - - I was using much more than suggested ......
