Primers dont work with my current moisturizer (foundation balls up, even after letting it sink in), however it did work nicely with a backup moisturizer i have. It helped the foundation apply more evenly & it felt reasonably nice on my slightly dry skin (strangely, ever-so-slightly tingly at first). As with all foundations, this liquid one clung to the dry patches. Slightly thicker than expected & dries fairly quickly. Coverage is a little on the lighter side & half wore off my usual places (nose, chin) through the day. I like a thin layer, so also needed some green corrector for my rosacea. I really like the powder - i prefer lately to mix a little powder with a drop of oil & pat onto my skin using fingers. gives better coverage, better finish (powders can look cakey on me) short & longterm, & is nicer for my dryer skin. This powder has given me better all-day results than some other brands. My only complaint is that i have light skin with cool undertones & although i like 'Grace' (for neutral undertones) it is not a perfect match, so i need to buy 'Unity' (for cool undertones) separately to try.

Wish all brands had trial kits. 5stars for the kit but sadly products didn't work for me. Love Inika philosophy-want to convert my cosmetics to organic, paraben-free & vegan. Powder foundation was easy to apply & natural finish. But too sheer for me - better for someone who doesn't need much coverage (I have dry,uneven skin tone). Liquid foundation was good medium coverage & Beige shade matched perfectly-but too dry-impossible to evenly spread (tried fingers, brush, beauty blender) & not buildable (looked cakey). Primer is fab & will buy full size. My quest for the perfect foundation continues.
