I dont really feel much the difference this primer does... Some primers like Laura Mercier makes a smooth canvas (by texture not by vision), this doesnt. I can still fill the scars and pores....

I am not a MK rep. This primer broke me out horribly. It has dimethicone in it, which is a silicone that breaks me out. It also didn't help with my oil. If it works for you, great, but it took...

I think this is the best affordable primer. It kinda has a funny smell, but it doesn't bother me. I have tried high end ones, and I keep going back to this for its cost and value. Fabulous!...

if you have oily skin I would not recommend this! Or even if you have combination skin. This is because it will make your make up slide off your face almost. It is almost pointless as a primer as...

Why don't people sample stuff? This is an awesome primer for my oily skin. You can't use this and not take care of your skin and expect a miracle. I use Clinique's skin care regimen (3 step) and...

This primer made it look like I dumped baby oil on my face. It made me look super oily. Because I was so oily, my foundation would clump or slide in my t-zone.
