    I like this primer for my dry skin, it does make my makeup go on nice. But I don't feel like it helps with making foundation last that much longer. I will keep using it now and then, but I think...

    Not being a fan of a layered makeup feel on my face, I was reluctant to try this product until it arrived in my mail via Allure Beauty Box. Gave it a whirl and loved the way it felt and it kept my...

    This is an okay primer. It's exactly like the Maybelline baby skin and the Tarte poreless primer. I don't really like these thick silicone primers. Doesn't do much cus it ends up creasing and also...

    My mom gave this to me because she got it for free, like a free sample. I don't use primer. It looked pretty the first day, so I continued to use it. By day 3 I have broken out. It's going in the...

    This is a decent primer but there are far better ones out there for the price. In fact, my six dollar Rimmel Stay Matte primer does a better job than this guy. Not worth the hype. If you have...

    I love this primer! It feels light and non greasy. It's super spreadable too. My make up stays on longer with this. Its a bit expensive though..

    I have got quite a dry skin, so I thought this primer wouldn't work for me. However what I have found out while using it was that it actually made my skin feel smoother and appear more hydrated...
