This does somewhat even out your skin texture but perhaps not to the extent of more silicone based primers. however it is less drying and more moisturizing than a silicone based pore filling primer. makes your face a little pale when first applied but this isn't really a problem as you will be applying your base makeup over the top anyway. while this does create a nice base to apply foundation on top of I'm not sure it really extends the wear time of my makeup. Didn't really live up to the hype for me but definitely not a bad primer.
