    I wanted to love this product, I truly did. The reviews were fantastic, the price was reasonable, the packaging is great (the two lippies are for the reasonable price and the pump bottle) and the...

    Oh my god! Finally a primer that does something! I've tried a few and I never really saw the point. Smashbox's crap broke me out, MUFE really didn't do anything (and no, the pink did not make me...

    Why I like it: I sometimes get little dry patches on my cheeks, and this stuff is great for going over those dry areas. My pores are also much less noticeable if I apply this under my foundation....

    This is the only primer that has worked well for me without causing break outs! It seemed to have lost it's mattifying abilities after a year of usage, so I went searching for a new go-to primer...

    I really liked this. I got it half price at a sale. That being said, I find almost all silicon-based primers the same to be honest.

    I am absolutely in love with this primer. It allows me to apply an even amount of make-up(it just glides over even rough patches!), and makes it feel very lightweight. Through humid days that come...

    This product does nothing. Seriously. My pores are the same and my bare minerals wears for the same length of time. If your'e looking for something that's effective, look elsewhere.

    This product does miracles. Your skin literally feels like satin after applying it. I have never gotten so many compliments about my skin! I have normal skin and I highly recommend this product!

    I don't like this item because if you have oily skin within an hour you can feel the products weight on the face. Oil breaks through. Make up melts. It's just a Mess! Not happy with this.

    I know it works well on dry skin because the silicon content makes skin feel soft and smooth BUT; it has so much slip to it that it never really settles I feel like. For primers, I like to stick...

    This is a great primer. I use it with my BE foundation and it works wonders to help it stay on without irritating my sensitive skin. Great smooth feel. 5 lippies!
