    I bought this with hopes that it would be a great primer. Alas, I was wrong. I'm not too thrilled it came in a jar, since it could accumulate bacteria as my fingers have to go into it to pick up...

    This doesnt do anything much on my face and it's hard to put foundation on w this base. It's a little too thick.

    For the tiny amount you end up with, I think this is overpriced. Then again, if it were any good, I would overlook that, as it seems that primer is a pricey product in general. This formula is...

    I've been using this for the last week, courtesy of a free sample in an issue of Vogue. I've been looking for a primer for a while so I was excited to try this. My initial reaction was WTF - the...

    I bought this on a whim, thinking I'd use it all over my face and under my eyes. It doesn't work too well under the eyes, because it makes the concealer slide off. I started using just a dab on my...

    I'm conflicted on this one. I have yet to find the perfect primer for my oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin (that also gets dry patches in winter). This goes on smooth and makes my huge pores a...

    I read some reviews of this from other people, and I was kind of surprised. I guess I am new to this Primer Idea, but it worked well for me. I believe what you have to do is to only use a little...

    This is very similar to Clarins Instant smooth but a for a few pounds less and with a more refined finish. A little pot lasts a long tim and it is the best base i have ever used,my skin looks...

    This is the one and only primer I have ever tried or used so I can't rate based on that. It does what it is meant to do. Fills in my pores, creates a soft and matte finish, evens out the skin for...

    I never put much faith in primers, as they always made my skin greasy and prone to breakouts, plus it meant an extra step in my routine. So I went out on a limb with this product and it has...

    I've tried dozens of different primers, most of them expensive, and this one is honestly my favorite - I'm on my sixth jar. I found that a lot of them block my pores or leave my skin sticky or...
