I loved the idea of this primer, but in my experience it's terrible as a primer. It gives you a nice glow, but if you try to put anything over it, it gives a horrible patchy, gluey texture. It...

I bought this primer because of this one youtube video raving about it, reading up mixed reviews as well. Went ahead and bought a 1oz bottle and the first thing i noticed was the awful RANCID...

I just found a sample packet of this and started using it... and was so sad to find that it's discontinued. I love it! It makes my bare skin look way better when I don't want to wear makeup, and...

This is a pearly-white illuminator for the face and less of a primer. I have not noticed that it keeps my foundation on longer or makes it any moother or anything like primers claim to do. What...

Wow, I'm sad to read negative reviews about this product, as this is one of the few I can truly call my HG (I am kind of a product wh....junkie). Although I admit I rarely use this as a primer --...

This stuff definitely gives your skin a glow, which is nice for that well rested look. This might be an awesome product for people who have worry free skin, not me unfortunately. I've been having...

I tried this product as soon as it debuted at Sephora & I'm sorry it doesn't seem to work for others but this is my favorite primer out of all of them. This gives a really pretty pearly glow & it...

I like this primer because it has a buildable shimmer and no silicones. It shows through some foundations more than others. For example it looks great with my True Match, but it shows through too...

Got this as a sample. I am sort of new to primers, but I know how the good ones will look under makeup. This one does have a "glow" to it which might look nice even without makeup. However, under...

I bought this product because I thought it was going to be awesome. I've always wanted to master that "dewy look". The primer was a plus when I read the cute package! I really wished this would of...

Feels great going on, but does nothing for my foundation in terms of longevity. I'm definitely "glowy" right now, but I wouldn't rely on this as a foundation primer.

I'm not much of a fan for primers, but this one does not give you that slick gross finish like some do. It kind of smells like peanuts...which is strange, but it does give a nice smooth finish. I...
