I don't understand the hype about this primer. For my skin it did not work. My face looks worse after using this under my makeup. It makes my nose super oily and the MAC foundation disappears or...

My favorite primer so far, after going through quite a few of the top ones (Lancôme La base. Benefit etc). It's the perfect base for foundation, fills in pores, fine lines, helps with the longevity...

I've been using this for awhile now and it's good but doesn't really look great in summer or any type of humidity.

I love the way my skin looks when I apply this. It blurs everything a bit and makes it looks so nice But that is where it ends. It does not prolong the wear of my foundation by any means. When I...

Expensive Doesn’t do a single thing Flakes very easily Better off with Milani primer, which has the same texture and cost 1/4 the price

This is exactly like NYX primer for oily skin. At first, being an oily skinned gal, I felt that this might be too oily, but it did dry to a velvety soft finish once applied. My favorite primer is...
