Okay so first of all, I used it as a primer with good and bad results. It's an AMAZING product as far as keeping shine away and makeup staying in place. I used it twice, the first day I couldn't...

I'm like the other reviewers and saw a youtube lady raving about this stuff as a primer, and since I have dry patches I thought it would be perfect. Well it is as a primer! It's way better than any...

works wonders as a primer, same effect as the smashbox photo primer. One tube will last a long time, even for someone who wears makeup almost everyday, like me
