    It is a good primer you makeup stays all day and your face feels velvety smooth. I do not like that it has silicone in it so is not a favorite of mine. The good thing is that I used so little that...

    I just did not see that big of a difference to justify the cost difference between this and drug store primers. I love MAC but not that much.

    I wear a pretty heavy duty foundation but this gives my skin a lovely and dewy finish, I honestly notice a difference. It does also help my makeup stay on longer. I don't have sensitive skin so no...

    The packaging is very nice. But the price is way too high, although it last a while. The product doesn't break me out or anything but I feel that the primer doesn't really do anything for me. It's...

    This product is so beautiful- but so deadly. I broke out like nothing I have seen before.... For at least a week after one use I was so spotty- big sore spots and little uneven spots. So sad......

    I tried out this product in the store before I bought it and I loved it. The pros: It's very moisturizing for a primer. While most primers make my face dry and flaky, this one plumps my skin...

    This markets itself as both a primer and a finishing spray. I guess it's nice to cut back on having to buy 2 different products but I've used much better primers that feel silkier. However by...
