OK, first off, my skin is generally very oily. I will usually have to blot at least once a day. So I've been looking for a mattifying product for a long time and I am finally happy with this one,...

I received a sample from Sephora while trying to choose my first primer. I ended up going with the Too Faced Poreless primer, but decided to try this one out anyway. It went on pretty smoothly and...

Certain times my skin can be pretty oily, especially my forehead. I was really impressed with how well this primer controlled oil. If you have combo skin like I do, it is probably better if you...

I have SUPER sensitive skin and every other primer I've used has made me break out. I was skeptical to try another but I received a free sample from Sephora. The package was tiny, but it lasts...

This is a horrible product. 30 minutes after application it balled up and pilled. It's so embarrassing to get on with your day and discover your face is peeling with copious little brown flakes.

This primer is absolutely terrible. It made my face peel terribly, even in my oiliest areas. It mattified my skin great, but the peeling is just too excessive for me to even try to use this.

I got a sample of this from Sephora and the first time I tried it, I wasn't impressed. While it did seem to help my makeup last throughout the day, and helped to minimize pores, I didn't see any...

I bought this for my oily T-zone, but it is not effective at all for me. It mattifies for half and hour under my Colorstay foundation, and then I get major shine again. I do have to say that I...

I got a pretty generous sample of this as a 100 point perk at Sephora. The only other primer I had ever tried was the Smashbox Photofinish- which I never really understood, since it did nothing but...

Eh. I found this product to be of poor value. Compared to primers like Bare Escentuals Prime Time I had to use so much to cover my face. It felt like I was just putting on more moisturizer. It...
