    I decided to get this product while I was just browsing at Target and needed a face primer. By far, this is one of the best face primers I have used to this age, and I have used a lot of them. This...

    I like this product, but I don't use it too often. The only reason why I don't reach for it more often, is because I'm able to control my oil with Milk of Magnesia, pretty well. However, this...

    I've read many reviews on this saying how its too think a consistency however I found mines and thought I'd have a little go. What i found worked was after using your moisturiser i applied a small...

    As everyone else says on here, yes it is hard to blend in. ive found a way to make it work though. even if you have oily skin use an oil free moisturiser and then put the primer on bit by bit on...

    I bought this some time ago when I had a No7 voucher and put it to one side for the odd day when I need foundation to last for ages in the heat, but was put off it by other reviewers. HOWEVER, I'm...

    I really wanted to like this product, but it simply does not sit well on the skin (well at least it doesn't on mine). It has amazing staying power and looks great when first applied, but after two...

    Agree with other reviews in that it's not a great face primer - and it smells AWFUL - but it works fairly well for eyeshadow, though it does leave a slight white colour if you miss applying any...

    I have a love/hate relationship with this primer, in the sense that I'm not overly keen on it but I have no idea what other primer to try. It says to use with moisturiser but my face gets...

    I'd have to echo previous reviews and say that this is useless as a face primer. It's thick, difficult to spread around the face and makes foundation application difficult, if not...

    I don't really understand what others have said here - I've experienced absolutely no problems with this product at all. It doesn't 'ball up' when applied and as far as my face is concerned, is...

    I have to agree with many of the comments below, try as I might, I just can't get this product to stop balling up on my face. I've tried a light moisturiser, a heavy moisturiser (and defeating the...

    Although I read a few fairly damning reviews of this product a while ago, I did want to try a mattifying primer that wasn't too expensive, and so I decided to give it a try anyway. I experienced...

    It is all in the application for this product. I use it on top of my sunscreen and dab it into my skin using very little doing each part of my face one at a time. I have very oily skin and it did...

    I found this very hard to apply when using your fingers. It cakes up and does not blend well. But when using it with a foundation brush it spreads evenly without drying on the skin to quickly. It...

    Ok, so it takes a little time to get the hang of using this primer, but it's definitely worth it. For £10 I think it's just as good as some of the more high end primers. I've found it's best to...
