    This is a tried-and-true primer that has surpassed my expectations, increased the longevity of my foundation, and improved the application of products on my face. I'll break down my...

    Nothing special.. Makes foundation last langer for 2 or 3 more hours. Has zero coverage. The product has shimmer in it. There are much better primers for the same price. Not recommended.

    I don't like this at all. It has some subtle shimmers in it but does nothing to make the skin look more radiant. Doesn't make my makeup smooth on perfectly, but it's decent. It makes my...

    For me, this was a complete waste of money. My foundation looks better without it, which is quite surprising. I have dry, aging skin and it actually made my foundation look uneven.

    It's an okay primer. I have very oily skin and it definitely did help keep my skin matte for a while but, I found other primers that did an even better job. I like Sephora's anti-shine primer....
