Well, first off - I LOVE Kat von D products in general and they never ever let me down - except this one. I wanted to like it so much, but this primer is nothing but a sticky mess on your face, no matter how little or much you use, and believe me I'm experienced with primers enough to make a statement like that.
I just think that, due to the absence of oil, she calls it "oil-free", this primer has no way of really priming your face, it sits on top of it instead, although it is hydrating in some way (which is the sticky part).
I have the feeling it is almost silicone-free, too (but don't quote me on this please), which is essential for a "good" primer at least in my eyes. It may work for other people, with dry skin for example...but it wasn't for me.
My makeup didn't look good or flawless with the primer underneath neither. I can achieve a much better look using cheaper products e.g. from Hard Candy, just as an example.
The little bottle it comes in is awful cute to look at, but the opening/dispenser is a bad idea and just for looks i.m.o. You don't know how much product you can get out, can pump...half the time the pump didn't work anyways, because the primer itself was too thick of consistency.
Sorry Kat!
