I would definitely repurchase this product as long as I'm alive. First time I used it was 5 months ago. My makeup artist recommended it for my super oily slick skin. I ended up applying it to the...

I've had a hate/hate relationship with this product for decades! I used to think it was useless and either did nothing or made my foundations 'pill'. I now firmly believe I did not know how to use...

Meh, I guess I'm not using this right... I don't normally use foundation, but I was hoping to still be able to use this to some advantage, i.e. to get some "beauty" and "flash". It doesn't really...

this is a product that has been around a loooong time, and become much loved, and i think is now trading on its reputation. it's a bit of a hybrid - tinted moisturiser + mask / treatment +...

This is one of the very first primers to appear on the market, so it does have a reputation. I used a full tube of it, but I never bought one again. Somehow, the silicon-y finish didn't agree with...

I have been wanting to try this product for ages and only got round to it a few weeks ago after bidding for a small sample size on ebay. Thank goodness I didn't pay for a full sized one in a shop!...
