Not for mature skin
Tried this. Nothing fancy. I do have mature skin so maybe it was my skin. Allowed powder or cream to set into my wrinkles. Smooth going on my skin but did me no favors when putting makeup on after. It didnt help keep my makeup set. Durability wasn't great, not long lasting. Worked fine wirh my sensitive skin.

Hi SarahH, thank you so much for your honest feedback. We truly value hearing how our products perform on mature skin, and we're sorry to hear the THE MARSHMELLOW PRIMER MINI didn't provide all the results you were hoping for. We're glad it was gentle on your sensitive skin and went on smoothly, but we understand the frustration when makeup doesn't stay perfectly set. Your detailed experience helps us as we continue to refine our formulas. Thank you for giving us a try!"

Fun and Efficient Primer
This primer did a good job of creating an even base on my skin and helped my makeup not to settle in to fine lines. It smelled so nice and was soft when applying it.

One of my favorite Primers
Nyx products are my personal favorite. Best in quality & so is the Marshmellow primer. Love how light weight this is. Blends into the skin easy, sits well. This help glide on my foundation really well & also helps my base makeup to stay put for long.

Do not buy
To be honest I was hesitant on buying this primer bc i've always been loyal to my elf primer. I decided to give it a try because of a tiktok recommendation I went ahead and purchased it and let me just say don't waste your money! it's watery it doesn't even feel like you have anything in your face. Also you have to apply & re apply to make feel like there's product in your face! I've been using this primer/ makeup routine and my makeup is not holding on as with my other primer.

Best purchase
This primer gives such an amazing finish and has an amazing texture. The scent is exactly like a marshmallow, but not to strong. The packaging is also really cute and the products last for ages. I will definitely buy this primer again.

Adorable Little Primer💕
I’ve tried many makeup primers and this is by far my favorite!! I loved it so much I went out and bought the full size almost immediately. It has a cream like texture and simply melts into my skin and feels very hydrating. It truly smooths and creates a perfect base. Makeup application afterwards is a dream and it really helps keep it in place all day! Plus the pink packaging is adorable💕 This is now my travel size primer. The scent is very subtle but slightly sweet.

Perfection in a bottle
OMG! So I'm actually reviewing the setting spray that goes with this primer. Both the primer and setting spray are A1 in my book. This spraying spray dries quickly, not the least bit sticky feeling, and it feels almost like a water mist... BUT it holds the make-up SO SO GOOD. I have a very oily face, and my makeup usually comes off at work within like 2-2.5hrs. My makeup hasn't BUDGED since using the NYX Marshmallow setting spray & primer. I've bought so many high-end brands trying to get my makeup to lay smoother, feel comfortable, not break me out, and actually hold my makeup. Finding all 4 in 1 product was seeming unrealistic....until I met these beautiful products! I will forever repurchase these. Amazing and cheap, so give it try, ladies. They beat out all my lancome, elf cosmetics, tarte, benift cosmetics, urban decay, and my two face primers/setting products.

Good priced, does the job
For the price you pay, this primer does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Glides on my skin easily, filled in the pores helping my skin look almost flawless, smooth and perfectly covered. I only tried a sample so not sure about the packaging.

Affordable
This is an awesome, affordable primer. I like the NYX Marshallmellow primer because it actually works and makes my pores disappear for my makeup application. This is as good as It Cosmetics bye bye pores primer.

Girl, get you this please! Its magical
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got a sample sachet of this primer and low key want to have a cry because I just finished it up today. This stuff is AMAZING. Im super snobby and impossible to impress when it comes to primers but this primer shut me up! I used it with a different brand matte primer because I have trust issues, and then this brand pore filler. My skin never in all of its 40 years on this earth, looked better. It was smooth, hydrated but not greasy, no cake-y, no creasy wrinkle-y sadness; it was pretty near flawless. AND my makeup lasted ALL DAY. That NEVER happens, I thought that was make believe but this stuff made it happen for me. So the second I get makeup money this is deff gonna be my first purchase. Thank you guys, My face and I love you now

Light yet effective
Amazing primer! It smells nice like marshmallows and goes on so lightly i don't feel it. It really helps the concealer and foundation i use grip onto my skin. I have rosacea so this really helps product adhere to cover up redness and blemishes. Start with a primed canvas! My foundation isn't even fancy kind it's elf but it works well with this.This primer is worth every penny.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s a smooth moist texture. When applied to face, it melts onto the skin and blurrs any imperfections. Makes me look like I’m glowing but not in a sweaty way. My makeup stayed on great as well for the whole day. The smell is alright.

A Soft and Smoothing Canvas for Flawless Makeup
As someone who is always on the lookout for a primer that not only enhances the longevity of my makeup but also provides a flawless base, I decided to give the NYX The Marsh Mellow Primer a try. Promising a soft and smoothing effect, this primer intrigued me with its unique name and claims. After incorporating it into my routine for a considerable time, here's my take on its performance. The first thing that caught my attention was the texture of the primer. It's incredibly lightweight and has a silky feel upon application, which makes it easy to spread evenly across the skin. The name "Marsh Mellow" seems quite fitting, as the texture is reminiscent of a soft airy marshmallow. This smooth texture helps create a seamless canvas for makeup application, allowing foundation and other products to glide on effortlessly. The Primer falls within an affordable range. It offers good value for its price point.
