This is my Holy Grail face primer. This primer doesn't target your foundation wearing time, it is actually meant to be used in order to change your skin texture and overall appearance. Whenever I...

First experience - straight up magical stuff! It created a beautiful glowing velvety canvas (not shiny) my makeup glided on - I needed less foundation and it lasted a full day with no...

I am in love with this. This is the best dewy makeup base I've tried. Didn't want to buy it at first because it was so expensive but it is just what I mean he was looking for. It's so lovely...

Got a sample of this at Nordstroms and tried it out for a week but didn't like it. It smells gross first of all and it didn't blend well with my makeup (had a pilling effect for me on my face). The...

Good primer. Especially perfect for those who has more dry skin or needs moisturiser. It's very nourishing as well and goes as skin care. Good for winters and cold climate. During summer or in...

This is definitely one of the better primers that I have tried. But at this price point it better be better than just good! This primer provides a lot of luminosity (if you have oily skin stay...

I received large generous sample(s) of this primer so I had some time to play around with this. Im not a primer person, I think they are mostly useless especially for dry skin(like me) but this was...

Superlative. Creates perfected canvas, both smoothing and illuminating, optimally preparing skin to enhance delivery of foundation. Unrivalled!

Bought this on an impulse while purchasing some other Tom Ford products. I should have known better than to buy something illuminating when my skins tends to be oily. Seems like a lovely product...

The Primer smells ok and definitively not like stinky socks. I do not like perfumed make up like Chanel. Great primer. Edit after several month: I do not need this and it dries my skin out.

Really nothing special about this product, I look for a silicony primer, much like the Smashbox kind; and this is not. It leaves the skin with a bit of glow, not the kind that mimics healthy skin,...

Very moisturizing and nicely iridescent, but stinks like a old track shoe. The pump is also undependable and seems likely to break. My skin is oily so this product may be a little too moist for me....

This an okay primer, and the only one I have that is iridescent. However, I cannot wear it due to the smell. Won't repurchase.

I was so excited to try this, so I bought one at Neiman Marcus upon passionate recommendation by the sales assistant. The first thing I noticed was its foul-ish smell, like decayed rubber. I...

I have to agree with the previous reviews, this is really a superb primer. It provides an excellent base und gives the skin a radiant appearance. Sometimes if I’m going for the no-make-look I even...

This is a beautifully textured foundation primer. I have very reactive skin and it did not irritate at all. My foundation applied better and lasted an entire work day, which is all I ask for in a...

Best primer I've ever used. It's a little pricey as you would expect anything with TF's name on it. It leaves my face very soft and nice. Foundation goes on very nicely. It does feel like a...

I mentioned this in my reviews of the two new Tom Ford Beauty foundation products, but it's such a great "hybrid" product, I decided it deserved a separate review! It combines skincare and makeup...
