Best primer ever. I don't know what it doesn't get more love. My skin is normal/combo with some dry patches. I've been using it for more than 8 years, always come back to it. Feels so good on my...

By far the best primer I've tried. I have very dry skin, and this primer absorbs well but provides the perfect makeup base. Definitely notice foundation lasting a lot longer. Have tried other new...

Okay, I have tried this with a couple of different foundations, and this beats any primer i have tried so far. It goes on sticky and then dries smoothly. Makes my foundation look better and...

This primer smooths the dry patches on your face. Foundation slides easily. It makes my foundation last whole day. It prevents foundation from oxidisation. It doesn't add any color. Totally...

This is a good primer, received it in a kit. It moisturized my winter parched skin really well and its very very soothing. It also smoothed out my makeup, my pores look good. I hate the price, so I...

Love it! Only downside is that I wish it wasn't purple as it tends to leave a little bit of a tint behind. Apart from that, Make Up stays on forever, skin looks good etc.. even with my oily skin!

I cannot believe that after all the raving I have done about Borghese Prima Viso, and recommending it to women with dry skin who want a good primer, that I have not written a review yet! So here...

I tried this on a rave review from CaveWoman (*waves!*). I was searching for a good primer that doesn't end up looking weird or dry me out (I had a bad experience with Smashbox - too drying for my...

I received a 1 oz tube of this in a goody bag yesterday at a makeup show and just tried it today. I have sensitive, oily skin, and this kept my face from looking shiny for the entire day! I only...

I absolutely loooooove this product. It makes my skin absolutely glow! I did not use this product with the expectation for it to completely mattify. I used it to enhance the look of my foundation...

This really didn't do much for me. It had a nice texture but didnt mattify my skin or make it particularly 'primed' for foundation. It's an additional step that I don't *need* IMHO!
