    I had my HG of face primers for the past 7 years, until Paula Dorf decided to discontinue it for some reason. ::sigh:: I love BE's Prime Time Eyelid Primer, so on my quest to replace my face...

    It did absolutely nothing for controlling the oil production on my t zone nor did it help my make up stay on. Really glad I only got a sample. This review was originally written for bareMinerals...

    This primer broke me out horribly! I thought since it was bare escentuals it would be gentle enough for sensitive skin, but I was wrong. Packaging is just like any primer I've seen in the drugstore...

    I don't normally like primers since I have dry skin and can't afford for any oil to get absorbed, but this one doesn't dry me out. However, I really can't see much of a need for it. My foundation...

    I liked this product. I purchased from Ulta for like $25. It lasted me like 6months.. I used everyday. But my results weren't that great, but it did help my makeup last maybe a few hours longer...

    I wish I could love this primer but it burnt my face. On the sides of my nose and down to my chin. As I've gotten older my skin has gotten dryer, I've switched to gentle cleaners and lotion,...

    This is a standard silicone-based primer. It is quite runny, which I find a little annoying (especially because I have a half-size tube of it that came in a kit and the primer runs into the cap...

    This primer is really simple, but it works for me. It's clear and has a gel-like consistency. It spreads well, and gives that silicone feel to the skin. If you don't like or are sensitive to...

    The only other primer I have tried prior to this product is the Napoleon Perdis one, but I have to say, I don't think the Bare Minerals one is for me. It goes on feeling greasy, and although it...

    Fantastic when mixed with under eye concealer. Glides on and makes my entire face feel smooth as a baby. It's hard to get it all out of the bottle when you get down to the last l/4. I tap it out...

    This is my go-to primer. The silicone-based formula goes on smooth and clear, and doesn't settle into any lines. It does take a bit to dry, however, and I notice if I haven't waited long enough...

    I didn't care for this. It's gel like substance is hard to spread, it doesn't make much of a difference in oil control. There was no difference in the smoothness of my skin texture. I do like the...
