The negative reviews are true for me. I went to Ulta specifically asking for a primer that will not cause creasing under my eyes. The SA recommended this enthusiastically. In fact she said its...

Background: I do not usually purchase HE makeup or SC products, so this primer is one of the only $$ purchases for me. Most of the primers I have used in the past were heavy silicone products that...

I was very disappointed in this product. I wanted to love it since Tarte is one of my favorite brands and I heard great things about it.
However, it did nothing that it said it would. My pores...
