Best primer so far! Got this as a sample. Smooths, mattifies, doesn't turn oily on my normal-combo skin, and kept makeup looking good all day. Tried Smashbox Photofinish Light and MAC Prep + Prime...

I received this as a free sample from Sephora, and although many of their products are excellent - I absolutely love the mascara, for instance, this has to be worst primer I've ever tried. It goes...

I got this as one of my free samples, and thank goodness I didn't actually pay for it!! This product is HORRIBLE! It has a goopy, thick texture and did NOTHING as far as helping my make up stay on...

This is my favorite primer! I used to be a smashbox primer girl, but have fallen in love with sephora's! I received it as a sample and never looked back. Sometimes it is hard to get as Sephora...

Ugh! Thank goodness I only had the sample of this! It kept me matte for about two hours the first time I used it. After that it looked completely disgusting. I literally had pools of oil in my...

Mattifying? Not really. I tried this as a sample. It reminds me a lot of BE's primer- clear and kinda silky feeling, but it's just not good for my skin. As so many others have said, it makes your...

I got a sample from Sephora and I loved it AT FIRST. I only used it on my t-zone which is where I apply a little bit of concealor to minimize pores and redness. I don't use foundation. For the...

What it is: A base product that EVERYONE should use. A primer means that it 'primes' the skin before applying make-up. It is used to mattify and stops oil from penetrating through. Why I...

I love trying primers and was excited to try this product. However, I found this primer to be relatively disappointing. Initially it goes on very smooth and has a very silky texture. However,...

I received a sample of this as part of a Sephora order. I don't like it at all. It feels very oily going on and took a while to set and I thought that was kind of icky. It does a reasonable job...

I got samples of these from Sephora and this didn't do much for me. The primer is clear and feels like an oil going on. Upon application, everything looks great but it doesn't hold up at all....

This is a great silicone based primer, that costs less than some of the other brands. IMO, it is similar to Smashbox and Cargo's primers, but with slightly less silicone than those do. My skin...
