    My holy grail primer is Smashbox Photo Finish original. Costco had this and I wanted to give it a try. I did Smashbox on one side of my face. Laura Mericer on the other side. I like the slight...

    Yipe. This was a free sample and I tried it out this morning. The primer went over The Ordinary 2.5% BHA and Olay day moisturizer with SPF. Right away I had misgivings--it didn't have much slip at...

    My sister gave me a tube of this in a lighter shade which I liked so I went and bought a darker shade and it’s really good, now I don’t and never have worn foundation, so what I do is I wear this...

    After finishing a deluxe sample of this primer, I must say that I don't really care for it. It didn't seem to work that well, and it smelled bad. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I didn't like the...

    This is the first primer I've ever owned, and I never realised how terrible it was until I branched out to other products. Does it prolong makeup wear? No. Does it create a smooth canvas? No....

    I break out from this product. It does nothing for my foundation lasting what so ever.

    Best primer I have tried! I have the oil free one as I have oily skin but gives me foundation longer wear and hold. Recommend it!

    Nothing special about this primer as far as I could tell, and the staying power isn't great. But it didn't break me out and plays well with the tinted moisturizer.

    It did help smooth my skin and blur pores and imperfections but I have oily skin and it broke me out and made my skin really oily by the end of the day. My nose was shiny AF! I only used it cuz my...

    I'm a big fan of Laura Mercier products but not this one. I don't wear foundation make-up every day, so that might have something to do with the problems I've had with this product. The first...

    I used the oil-free and the radiance primers. The oil-free is rubbish! It did absolutely nothing for me at all - its just an overpriced moisturiser...and even then, there are much better and...

    I have combination skin with a rather oily t-zone. For that reason, primers have been a no-go for me, as everything, and I mean everything, makes my t-zone more oily. Some primers have also managed...

    I think this primer is just kind of average, unless you are buying the radiance primer. This is definitely a step up from Smashbox primers, which I tried to love, but just could not live up to...

    I appear to be in the minority that finds this underwhelming. It has a nice texture and blends well. However, I saw no difference in appearance vs using no primer.

    This primer works like a dream. Laura mercier claims that it is a lightweight creamy gel. I completely agree it is lightweight and feels so fresh on the skin, it has vitamins a c and e in which...

    I like this primer, its kind of a gel texture and keeps the foundation set all day, the only gripe I have with it is that after putting it on it needs a minute or two to 'set' before you can apply...
