I bought this after looking at the reviews and wasn't impressed. It didn't help with shine coming through my makeup and didn't really do anything much. I tried Smashbox and it was so much better...

I've been using Smashbox's Oil Free Photo Finish for years and picked this up after getting a sample pack of it. I think Smashbox may work a tad better at oil control for extended wear, which I...

I bought this about one week ago. I was going back and forth between this and BE. I decided to go with Sephora because it is cheaper. I have been applying it on my t-zone and my nose. It has made...

I love this primer. I tried a few others but I always go back to this one: The reason? Price. Where I live is around 11€ and we don't have drugstore primers available.I like how it makes my skin...

I received a sample of the regular primer with a sephora purchase and liked the way it felt on my skin but it was a little too much, since I have oily/combo skin. I tried the matte at sephora and...

I'm liking this so far - we'll see if it breaks me out! This is a clear, silky formula. I only needed one pump from the bottle to cover my whole face. Note: I'm not liberal with my primers, in...

I got this as a sample & at first I was really happy with it. I have seriously oily skin & this primer really helped lessen the production of oil. While my skin wasn't completely matte it made a...

I like this. Does a good job of smoothing for sure. Don't really see a ton of mattifying. Not amazing but definitely does a good job!!! Would buy it as a cheaper alternative to a more expensive brand.

This is a nice primer. I didn't notice an absolutely amazing difference between using it and not using it, but it makes my face feel a bit softer. When I use this, it seems to disappear within...

Most primers make me break out, but this one does not. Plus, I'm a bit dry on my forehead, especially during the colder months, and this, along with my usual moisturizer, eliminates that problem...

I got this as a sample from my Sephora beauty insider card. I never use face primers, so I'm no expert. Personally I hate the feeling of more stuff on my face in addition to the makeup. I've tried...
