Confession: I really love this primer. However, I think it's much too expensive AND the SPF is not enough. It makes my makeup look amazing, feels nice on the skin (it has a slightly slippery...

I'm surprised at how much I like this primer given I have dry skin. I was looking for a cleaner primer option while pregnant and this stuff really keeps my makeup on lock down. It also doesn't dry...

I like the FEEL of this product but am not sure it does anything as a primer beyond providing SPF. This is a thick silconey white cream with mineral sunscreen with a white cast. It has a thick...

Next to Murad Invisiblur, this is my favorite primer when I want doll skin perfection. I have mature oily skin, and this product creates such a smooth flawless base for makeup, and is like a filter...

I almost never return make-up, but I returned this. I was really happy with it at first. I loved the feel of it and it made my foundation apply better and last longer. However, within about two...

Broke me out, and I AM NOT prone to breakouts. Also did nothing in terms of extending wear of foundation, definitely prefer my All Hours primer, which does everything it claims to do.
