I wanted to like this product since I have been very impressed with everything else BM puts out, but this was terrible compared to the original. I have very oily skin, so I've been trying all of...

This is HORRIBLE! I can't even put my foundation on over top of it! It's like this thick, silicone glue all over my face! Don't waste the money!

I think this product is much more effective if only used on problem oily areas rather than an all over primer. I use my FOA primer all over and this primer on my nose and cheeks only. I have...

Personally, I think this is a decent primer. I have read many reviews below me and I can see everyone's concerns and I do agree that those can happen. First off, what I did like about this product-...

I have oily acne prone skin and this sadly, did nothing at all. It felt like it was just going to peel off. It sat on the surface of my skin almost like a mask and actually made my makeup cake. I...

Awful. I have acne prone, oily skin and this did nothing for me. It felt like I was wearing a mask on my face - not the way you want your makeup to feel. I also felt like it made me break out, but...

This product is not fit for me and I have oily skin. I didn't see much of oil control. I hated applying the product only to have it crumble all over my face. So you have to brush the flakes off...

This was not a product for my combination skin. After two weeks of using this, I only saw a slight oil control in my t-zone. But nothing noticeable, or enough for me to repurchase this product. Not...

Bought this to try on my very oily skin in combination with BE's matte foundation & mineral veil. Hated the feel of it, but stuck with it for nearly 2 weeks. My final verdict is: totally doesn't...

I actually have repurchased this product several times and I love it. However, it's the first and only primer I've used so I'm not really sure to what to compare it. I like that it's silicone-free,...

Does not help my makeup go on nicely - it actually balls up on my skin almost immediately after applying it! It's almost like it just... peels right off. And the initial texture of this primer is...

I don't know why other people had problems getting their makeup to stay on with this primer. I received a sample with another order, so maybe mine was just super potent since they want you to buy...

I really don't like this product. It tends to ball up on my skin, creating flakes. I can't use this before makeup because it makes the foundation flaky, so sometimes I use it before bed after the...

I have combo/oily skin. I purchased this product only to put on my oily t-zone, as the rest of my skin doesn't get oily, and seems to keep foundation on quite well. Withing 30 seconds of putting...

Horrible. During the day, the product became "bobbly" on the skin and not smooth at all. Stay away!
