    I received this as a free sample even though I'm happy with my Kiehl's Microblur. I have very oily skin and once applied, I found it to be oily but magically soaked up my foundation. I had to...

    I adore this primer. This primer has put me off wearing foundation. It blurs pores, helps makeup (like blush) stay on skin all day and leaves my skin with a natural, bright finish. I can't say...

    I’ve been using this primer strictly for the past few months. Although I like it, I don’t think it’s worth the price. It helps my foundation/ bb cream apply smoothly, but doesn’t soften skin...

    I received a sample of this at Mecca. Going on my skin it feels satiny and smooth but my gosh it saps my skin of moisture and doesn't work with my mineral make up. If you have dry skin this is not...

    Whitening effect doesn't look that natural, doesn't fully fill enlarged pores from acne recovery. Texture is silky but doesn't have that wow factor to make it this expensive.

    Hourglass comes out with a smaller number of products every year, but I've noticed most of them have a niche and perform well (I have mainly used their complexion pro). This primer is an excellent...

    I really do like this primer. It's the only one that covers up my gigantic, crater-like pores around my face (not even porefessional could do it from Benefit), and it helps to hold on the...

    This stuff worked really well but it irritated my sensitive skin with all of those chemicals. Could be good for someone with less sensitive skin.
