I don't really need a primer for everyday but I did try this for a wedding that I was in. The weather was really hot and I have to say that this really did help my make-up stay on all day. My...

I kind of liked this because my skin did feel smoother, but it soon broke me out so I wouldn't try it again.

A salesperson at Sephora convinced me to shell out $25 for this primer, claiming that it would give me a smoother makeup application and make my pores invisible. However, I soon discovered that it...

For a face primer this does make my skin feel very silky and smooth... but I'm still not fully convinced that primer really does make a difference? If you're into face primers this would...

The texture of this product is like a silicone gel--feels very silky. I haven't yet mastered how to wear this though--thickly, thinly? It does seem to smooth out the skin a bit, but I haven't...

This is a great primer. It makes my skin sooo smooth and silky. It's really light and doesn't feel greasy at all. I really love this for when I use liquid foundation.

I really like this primer! It looks almost like hair gel - clear and gooey.. but when you apply it, it blends evenly and makes skin feel totally soft and polished. Makes an awesome base for...

(I think that's what it is called--I returned mine to Sephora). I found this to be a completely unnecessary step--how many layers does my face need anyways? My moisturizer works just as well...

This is one of the industry's best kept secrets. Although this line in general is fuddy-duddy, everyone of every age should own this primer. It's oil free yet feels like you are slathering crisco...
