From reading the reviews it seems most do not like this primer, I however had not had a problem with it. Its is a little orangey but barely shows with the amount I use and my foundation corrects this anyways. It holds back oil for hours on me, even on on hot summer days and my foundation looks fresh all day. My skin, though not teen-aged anymore, is still quite oily in the T-zone and I would need to blot by mid afternoon, if not earlier, without this primer.

If I were a Smurf, I'd love this product. The orange would combat the blue in my skin tone.
No, but for real. It was just orange. I chose the color that the beauty consultant at the drugstore said would be best for my skin tone and figured, for $6, hey why not. I already have a golden undertone, so when I put a little on the back of my hand, I was pretty shocked at how orange it looked. But I decided to brave it and put it on my face. It reminded me of the little tangerine I got in my Christmas stocking. Sad part is, it didn't help my makeup stay on my face at all. Threw it out and went back to my trusty ELF face primer instead.
Would not re-purchase, would not recommend. At all.

Such bad reviews on this primer is pretty shocking.
I purchased this, because well I wanted a cheap drugstore primer. I haven't tried many, but I do like this primer.
It has a peachy color and nice non greasy consistancy. It helps my make-up stay on my oily skin for as long as I need it to.
I gave it a 4 because, like I said, I am fairly new to the aspect of primers. So I cannot compare it to any other besides Revlon's Beyond Natural Primer.
I would re-purchased again and I recommend this.
Amout of product

I bought this products as I was a noube at makeup. Even as a noube I knew that when I opened it something was extremely wrong it was orange! :O I bought this product at walmart.
PROS
*uhhh cheap? 6$
**one of the only drugstore primers
CONS
*BRIGHT orange color not even a tint and leaves your face orange
**makes my foundation not settle on my skin so my foundation rubs away so easily
***packaging sucks because the product always spills out
I hate this product so much but I will be checking out the hard candy sheer envy primer :)
I hate the packaging and it s horribly on oil skin! It doesn't help minimize pores but more or less actually shows them more! I hate the orange tint. I'd rather buy Monistat Chaffing Gel and my primer!
So far this is my favorite primer. It doesn't make your skin as soft as some of the other primers out there do, but I like the stay power on this. I definitely notice my makeup lasts longer on my face when I use this. As others have pointed out, yes it does have an orange tint. I have light skin and it's not an issue.The only time I've had trouble with the tint is when I'm not paying attention and don't blend it enough.
this is a wonderful basic primer! it does prolong my foundation. it comes travelfriendly packaging nd has a light nd pleasant scent. honestly, i picked this one out because it was the cheapest primer available at my drugstore nd so far i dnt regret it!
This is my number one makeup primer! After I tried it the first time, I never went to anything else! I've probably gone through 6 of these! I have dry skin, and it really moisturizes my skin and makes it SO soft! It really helps hold my makeup longer and it smells really good! LOVE IT.
Super cheap primer, but didn't do anything for me, and broke me out.. All it did was help the application of my foundation go on smoother. Gave my bottle with more than half of it left to a friend.
This is my go to Primer. I work where it is very very hot all summer long. Without this my makeup would melt right off of my face. It keeps me matte and my foundation lasts forever with this. Has not caused any breakouts. As for the orange color to it it does not cause me any problems it blends right in for me but for lighter skintones it may make you a bit orange. All in all i think this is a great primer pretty cheap compared to some high end brands and works just as good! Im on my second already so will deff buy again.
