Top features
A drugstore hybrid primer-foundation by COVERGIRL & Olay that blurs pores and extends makeup wear with hyaluronic acid and vitamin C. This is a liquid primer positioned as a 3-in-1 (primer, foundation, concealer), leaving a matte finish. It suits most skin types, especially those seeking hydration without heavy coverage. The formula aims to prep skin and lock makeup in place, though as a liquid-gel hybrid it occupies a middle ground between dedicated grip primers and tinted bases. At $9.97 for 1 fl oz (or $9.47 with Subscribe & Save), it delivers strong cost-per-ounce value—cheaper than prestige primers but positioned more as a hybrid product than a pure primer. Community feedback highlights solid wear and hydration; occasional reports of pilling with certain foundations. Simple pump packaging.
