I can't believe I'm going to buy this again, because it's kind of spendy. But I got a sample in a 'discovery' kit from QVC and absolutely fell in love. This primer makes my make up go on smoothly...

GREASY is the word that comes to mind when applying this, but as you rub on your skin throughly it does leave a smooth silicone surface. Personally, I did like the fact it has SPF 15 so it bought...

I got this in a kit from QVC, and it's easily the best thing in the box. It's a really nice primer (but so is Smashbox Photo Finish). However, it's not magic. Still, it does make your face look...

I think this product feels lovely on the skin. It doesn't show up at all either, so if I just want to wear concealer over it, I can get a very natural look. That being said, I have extremely dry...
