I'm pretty sure this primer has the same formulation as Smashbox Photo Finish but that it's more expensive. It feels a little bit oilier but it works just the same. Personally I think both...

This is a classic primer, in the same category as Smashbox Photofinish. I prefer this to the Photofinish, however, because to me Photofinish feels heavy and greasy, plus worst of all it breaks me...

When I first tried this produce I fell in love. It was so smooth and made my skin look fantastic. It's pretty much like all those pore perfectors out there. But as far as a primer to hold my...

I've gone through a few of these so far -- it is the best makeup primer that I have tried. Like all other Tarte products I have tried, it does not break me out. It goes on smoothly. It is a very...

This did nothing for me. It did not help keep oil at bay or help my makeup last any longer. Good texture though.

This was my first primer, and I've had it for a while now. I do have to say that it has a greasy residue and after you have it for a certain period of time, it begins to harden inside since it is...

Love the way it makes my face feel. It is a little thicker but I feel as though my makeup glides effortlessly on. The only downside imo is the packaging. I literally broke a pair of scissors...

Not a bad product. Goes on super smooth, holds makeup in place. My issues are it doesn't keep oil at bay AT ALL, leaves my hands feeling greasy after I apply it, doesn't do much for pores, and the...

I love this primer! It really does make your skin feel velvety soft, and evens out you tone! My foundation blends on very well! The only sucky thing is the cost, but it's worth it in the long run...

I like this primer. It doesnt make me break out and it seems to do a pretty good job of preparing my skin for foundation. Im not sure that it helps control oil or make my makeup stay longer though.
