This is great for adding an overall glow. It might not be the best for oily skinned people though. I like mixing it with my foundation to give lighter overall coverage and that glow. I'm not sure I'd classify this as a primer, really it's more like a shimmery lotion, and is way overpriced considering that. I'd give it a 5 otherwise.

It works pretty nice as a subtle highlight. It's not sparkly and doesn't give as intense of a sheen as Hard Candy's Dollface or Benefit's Highbeam, but it does give a soft reflective glow that's definitely visible and makes the skin look shiny and dewy. However, as a primer, I didn't feel like it did anything - I mixed it in with my foundation and put it on my face and I didn't notice a difference whatsoever. I would only rebuy this as a highlight but it's a little too subtle for my taste.

Fantastic product, although I don't use it as a primer! I've tried it as such and, while I do think it makes my foundation go on smoother and, to a certain extent, fills in my pores, it just doesn't do it for me. When used under foundation, the beautiful, illuminated effect is lost so, in my opinion, this product as a primer defeats its own purpose. However, as a highlighter, this product rules. It gives the perfect pearly-yet-natural, lit from within glow. I use either my ring finger or my damp foundation sponge to pat it on the high points of my cheekbones and down the bridge of my nose and the effect is stunning. I also particularly love putting a bit of it on my undereyes before concealing to impart a light-refracting glow, which lessens the amount of concealer I need to use. Another wonderful way to use this is to mix a few drops of it in with your foundation! Not only does it make the makeup go on easier, it also infuses it with a really flattering, pearlescent sheen which I think is perfect for dewy, natural spring and summer looks. If you haven't tried this yet, please do...if you're a fan of glowy makeup (which I'm assuming you are if you purchased this particular product), you won't regret it.

I bought this because of it's excellent reviews as a highlighter. I have not actually tried it is as a primer (though I think it would be pretty).

This is a pearly white product that's thicker than a liquid but definitely not as solid as a gel or lotion. It blends seamlessly into the skin, leaving a luminous, but not shimmery glow. I use a tiny bit--the size of a pencil eraser--on each cheekbone to highlight, and what's left on my fingers I put on the bridge of my nose and cupid's bow. Since it's not shimmery or glittery, it's very subtle, very natural looking--nobody will ever suspect that your radiant glow came from a bottle, haha.

This retails for about $13 at drug stores. Using store rewards I paid much less, but honestly, this is on par with higher-end liquid highlighters which go for double or triple that price. I have just one complaint: the staying power isn't great--this is a REALLY subtle highlighter, and as my face tends to get a little bit oily I think the glowy, dewey effect gets lost after a few hours.

Overall, this is the best highlighter I've found so far in terms of product payoff for the price. (I would love to get some Benefit or Becca highlighters, but I'm not willing to pay that much money for something that's supposed to be subtle, ya know?) I don't know if I'd consider it a HG, but as far as highlighters go, this is one you'll want to try.

I wouldnt consider this a primer. I would consider it more of a highlighter. I still use it under foundation but I bought it as a primer.

It's definitely not a good primer... But- I use it to highlight my cheekbones and define my nose. I also use it under my concealer. This stuff is amazing!!! It gives me a great sculpted look. It's a pearly white color, so universal for everyone (as long as you use it under your makeup...) I have oily skin, and it doesn't make me any more or less shiny than I normally am.

This is a perfect highlighter for me. I create fresh illuminated skin with it every morning. I especially appreciate it when I decide to go for nude makeup look or French style makeup with just a little bit of mascara and red matte lips. In this case I need flawless skin but with an impression of bare face. This liquidy substance does not have any obvious sparkles therefore no disco ball manifests. I use it day and night whenever I fancy extra fresh dewy finish to my skin.

Yep it's not a primer! It's basically a pearly white highlighter. Since I'm porcelain fair right now, I did use it all over before applying concealer & powder. It does give a slight sheen/glow to the skin. I used a tiny bit more on my cheekbones. I'm indifferent with this product. Personally I think it's way overpriced for a drugstore primer/highlighter. I think the only thing it has going for it is that it is pearly white, and most other highlighters are pink based. Won't repurchase because I have other highlighters and primers that perform better.
EDIT: I had to stop putting this all over my face before foundation. It broke me out! It feels kind of greasy after you rub it in. So yeah, just use it strictly as a highlighter!

I bought this on a whim just to see what it was all about. While the highlighting aspect of this could work...I doubt I'd put this all over my face as a primer due to the whiteout washy ashy effect, however highlighting certain parts of the face may work. Do I think it's worth the price? Not really...I'll probably just highlight with powders rather than relying on this liquid before my foundation.

This primer is a *fabulous* drugstore buy. It isn't too thick nor too thin to make a difference, it makes your skin smooth and helps your makeup last longer and apply easier! It is very, very luminous (do not get this confused with oily!) because it has the most incredible finely milled shimmer you wouldn't even know could exist in it. You wouldn't even know when it was on your face that it had shimmer because the particles are so finely milled that you cannot really see them yet somehow they work together to create this beautiful glow. Also even though this primer is luminous it is *NOT* hydrating so don't get that confused. It is not going to dry out your skin at all but it is not going to add any kind of moisture either. It also doesn't break me out! My one downfall about this primer which is kind of huge is that only 20mL of this product is $20. That is a huge cost on top of foundation and specifically for a drugstore primer. I feel like prices at the drugstore are getting less and less pocket friendly which is what the drugstore is supposed to be about :/ I will probably not buy this again just because I have other primers that have a higher cost value but this truly is a great product.
