This was terrible for me. My face was a oil slick (I have terribly oily skin). I am swapping it. If anyone is interested.

This product is very good to keep on foundation. The cons are that it smells horrible, the glitter bits are not that flattering, the packaging is not consumer friendly and lastly the price is...

I am giving this a low rating because I find it doesn't help to keep my foundation on longer. This has that slippery-dry almost gritty feel that smooths over the skin very easily and allows for...

This makes my foundation go on a lot smoother and it actually stays! It is really slippery but very easy to apply. You only have to use a very small amount. When you pump it out of the bottle,...

While it is awesome there is a primer available at the drug store, this left me really greasy and shiny after just a few hours. I love that it gives you a soft, luminous glow, but I found that I...

This product is touted as a primer/correcter. It comes in a very nice frosted glass bottle with a pump for dispensing. I could tell that it was shimmery in the store but brought it anyway. Well...

I love this - it works as well as Photo Finish on my mature combination skin at less than half the price. The "glitter" actually helps to do just what it says it will do - it luminizes my skin and...

This is one of the better primers I have used. At first, I was a little put off by the sparkles, but once you have applied it and then your foundation, the sparkles are not noticeable. I use...

I've been using the Carmindy foundation for quite awhile, and really like it so I was hoping to love the primer....not so. Personally, I don't think the shimmer is overboard, it just didn't do...

If Carmindy Your Skin foundation is too dry or cakey, try this. The primer is silicone-based and feels like Smashbox's Photo Finish -- "dry" slip. I like the feel of the Carmindy better; I...

I have not found a single primer worth a penny of my money, and this falls into that pile. It's slick and greasy feeling, and it's got chunks of shimmer and glitter. It felt absolutely gross on my...
