Carpe Primer Face Makeup Base New Zinc Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30, Lasting Matte Primer For Oily Skin And Tinted Sunscreen

I wish it weren't so expensive. But it WORKS. I'm currently in perimenopause, and the sweating is ridiculous. I use this, topped with some loose powder. Stays put all day and I'm no longer dripping sweat in front of clients at work. And because it's lightly tinted, it evens out my skintone without looking like caked-on makeup. My skin looks natural and it's sweat free! I've been using this product for a few years now, and I hope they never stop making it.

I have a hard time finding products that actually help with face sweat, especially during Florida heat and workouts. This one honestly made a noticeable difference for me. The texture is very unique. Almost like a light mousse. It feels airy and smooth instead of heavy or greasy. It spreads easily and blends in fast. It gives a fair amount of coverage too. Not full makeup coverage, but enough to even out skin and make it look better overall. My skin looked smoother and less shiny after applying it. The real test was during an outdoor workout. The photos included were taken after being outside for an hour exercising. I was still sweaty, but compared to not using the Carpe primer, it was definitely an improvement. My forehead stayed more controlled and makeup held up better than usual. I also liked that it did not feel thick on my skin. Bonus points because it came packaged in a really pretty box and felt more high-end than expected.

I've not tried a "tinted primer" before, much less one that claims to reduce sweating. The tint seems to disappear, but after I took a video showing the product on half my face, you can actually tell a difference. (I hate how I look without lashes, so excuse the face, but I feel this video would help others) I have rosacea, so I didn't expect it to work miracles, but I did notice that my completion looked more evened out than without it. For days when I don't feel like foundation is worth it since I'd sweat it off 😂 haven't tried it under makeup yet. If I do, I will probably update my review. Overall very interesting product. And seems to work on keeping my face less oily during work if I put a mattifying powder over it. I'm just wondering if I'd buy it again because of the price honestly

This product didn’t work for me—It did not stop me from sweating so much that I ended up with sweat in my eyes (usually not a problem) and running down my face. I also ended up with multiple painful pimples (which usually doesn’t happen when I wear anti-sweat primers.) I was really excited for this product to work, as it was anti-sweat, had zinc-based SPF, and was tinted. That would have let me wear the primer out on its own. I tried this product both with and without other makeup. I let the product dry like in the directions. It just didn’t work for me. I wear an anti-sweat face primer daily, so I’m going back to my normal one (Milk brand cosmetics).

I really love the coverage and feel of this.... but I just got my bottle in and it's already acting like it's almost out, keeps not coming out and "burping" before a tiny speck comes out. Hasn't even been a week.....It costs too much to not work for even a week. More than likely will not get again, unless someone from carpe responds. Update: they have a great customer service group, sending me a new bottle being mine seems to be broken.

I love most of the Carpe brand and was excited to try this product, however it did not work as well as I had hoped for a few reasons. When I used as much primer as I usually do with my foundation it felt greasy and that I had too much on and my makeup just did not set at all. When I used a much smaller amount I felt like it was still greasy and I know I was not benefitting from enough of the SPF etc because of the small amount I was using. The texture was like a light mousse but it just did not feel like it absorbed into my skin the way a primer usually does. Finally it caused me to have some break outs, I have super sensitive skin but I am in my 40's so I am not a fan of getting a handful of pimples all of a sudden. I do use it sometimes just on my forehead and around where my glasses sit to prevent some excess sweating and I still get a few pimples but I think it helps a bit. I may try a different foundation at some point, but I like my current foundation well and my other primers work fine with it. Overall as it is today I won't purchase again, although I really wanted to love this product.

great primer that stays matte and also protects with spf30. I have been using this for years and really hate when I travel and forget it. It has become part of my daily routine.

Love the product itself! It has such a silky feeling and really does absorb sweat to leave a matte finish. Unfortunately for me, the pump stopped working around my 5th use…
