Important note: my face spews out oil faster than deepwater horizon. That said, this is the only primer I've ever found that keeps my face matte for over an hour. Actually, it lasts a solid 2-2.5...

I'm always searching for a good primer and this is just slightly better than ok. The SA recommended it to me when I complained about the price of Smashbox primer. It works fairly well, but it...

I sample this primer. I like it very much. It is effective. I moisturize my skin. Dap & quickly blend the primer with soft strokes. If u blend in like it's a moisturizer, u will dry out ur skin. My...

This thing balls up and chunks up my make up. I've tried waiting 10 minutes after applying the primer to apply my make up, and I get the same results. Mattifying-wise, I think it does a good job...

worked really well with controlling my oil but sometimes it blotched my makeup and made it hard to blend

This is the first primer I've used so I don't want to be too generous or too harsh. But I *do* think this is a good starter primer for people like me - there's no bells and whistles, just some...

my skin is on the normal/dry side. not really too oily but i find that this makes my foundation go on a lot smoother and helps with some pores that have gotten bigger in the last few years. I think...

I will not go a day without this primer. I bought this around 7 months ago for my oily forehead, and it works like a charm. Put it on wherever you get oily, and it will just soak it up throughout...

I bought this primer about 2 months ago and it's time to do a review! I have a pretty oily t-zone so I've been looking for a primer to help with this for a long time. I've used the laura mercier...

Pretty good primer for the price, can't beat it at $18. My face felt tight and oil-free for about 4ish hours, which is the same as many high-end primers (though UD's Pore Perfecting primer only...

Really like this primer. I put it on and found that my makeup stayed fresh looking much longer and my skin wasn't super oily looking mid-day like it usually is. Would definitely buy again!

I honestly don't think this does anything... I wore it on one side of my face (under my foundation) and by the end of the day you couldn't see a difference between the side of my face with primer...

I really, really, REALLY wanted to love this primer when I first bought it. For me, it does everything it claimed - controls shine, makes makeup last, and it's pretty cheap for a primer, BUT it...

I like it. My skin isn't overly oily, but I get a shiny nose and forehead after a few hours. This keeps my makeup looking freshly applied and my nose shine-free through an 8 hour waitressing...

I'm surprised at the negative reviews because I love this primer! At $18, I think this is one of the cheaper primers out there. I'm not experiencing this "sticky" feeling the other reviewers...

I bought this in desperation to keep my very oily skin matte. This stuff has a runny consistency and dries pretty quickly so you have to work fast. it has a strong scent- kind of like alcohol or a...
