Foundation Primer - Hydrating

This is my holy grail primer. I have dry and sensitive skin and this works wonders before applying my EL Double Wear foundation. In one of the previous reviews I read about it emphasizing dry patches, but I think, if you have dry patches, you need to change skincare routine.

This is a moisturizer, a very good one...but not a primer. This is a marketing scam to fool us in believing this "moisturizer" is going to help prime our makeup.

I like that Laura Mercier offers a variety of primers including this one which is hydrating. There are just a handful of primers that I have found suitable for dry skin. Laura Mercier's primers also …Read more

My father went to our tiny Dillards to the Chanel counter to buy 3 bottles of perfume so I told him "make sure to ask for samples!!" & the ladies at (both) Chanel's in this town lurve him so he ended up w this little gem! See it pays to build a rapport w ur local makeup counter SA's & at the little Dillards we go to, the SA's "man" multiple counters …Read more

I love this. I have really dry skin and I need to wear something light weight in the day. It's perfection!!!!!
