I bought this because of a recommendation for oily skin. I typically use too faced hangover rx or benefit porefessional. I can now say this may be my HG primer. It even lasts through all of the...

I love this primer and I dare say, it is my all time favourite. I was first introduced to primer during my years of breaking out and having sensitive skin that would react to anything. This primer...

I tried this primer from the recommendation of Nikkia Joy from Youtube, she highly recommends this primer for oily skin. I have oily, acne-prone skin so I am always skeptical of trying new products...

It hurt paying $54 for this primer. I could have bought a nice foundation. I've used it for 2 months and I can say that it's a great primer. I haven't used another primer that gives my foundation...

LOVE! Best primer for my acne prone skin. The texture is like no other. It is not thick and silicone like. It is fine and smooth. Plus it serves as a sunscreen. Pricey but so worth it.

Not sure how I feel about this primer. I have repurchased it, and I like it but it's expensive and seems there should be a dupe. It also separates and I have to shake it really hard or it's watery....

This primer is perfect. Yes it's expensive but it's worth it. Not only did is it the greatest primer ever, it also has SPF.

Only primer that doesn't allow my make up to smear off. i really locks down your make up and sticks it to your face. It also enables my foundation / concealer to GLIDE across my skin so smoothly...

This is as close as I've come to a holy grail primer. First, a few quick words about my skin. Just finished accutane and now on a 'maintenence dose' (40mg /week) to keep the oiliness away. So, my...
