    I generally switch between using a tinted moisturizer with no primer, or my Bare Escentuals foundation with either Smashbox Photo Finish, Monistat Chafing Gel (best bargain ever!), and this. As far...

    This is 'meh' for me. I got this from a friend who had purchased the flawless face kit. I love Laura Mercier TM and frequently use Nude and/or Sand, but I'm not really impressed with this. I...

    This is pretty ok. I got it in the Flawless Face kit from Sephora. It is a bit heavy and greasy, but it does sink into the skin. I didn't notice that it held makeup any better and it did seem to...

    This product is so overrated in the media. I bought it because it is recommended by everyone and the LM girl told me it was essential. It's only essential if you want to ruin your skin, it gave me...

    I got a free sample of this from Sephora when I decided to give primer a try for the first time. I didn't really have anything to compare it to so after 2 uses I stopped using it. Then I purchased...

    This primer does nothing to actually prime your skin for make-up application. I went back to using Smashbox's make-up primer. I've been using it for almost 7 years and found no other primer like...

    This primer does absolutely nothing for my skin. Since I use and like the TM I was hoping this primer would complete the look. It does mositurizer better than other primers. However, it doesn't...

    Did an experiment comparing it to smashbox photo finish primer. The LM half didn't look as smooth as the SM half when I applied liquid foundation over it. By the end of the day only the SM half of...

    This was my first primer, ever and I must say I am not impressed. It smoothed out my pores but it was way too greasy and wet.

    This went on a tad sticky for me, and yes my face felt pretty smooth, but there are other primers that arent as sticky, so i wouldnt buy again.

    This primer stays too wet...or greasy...or something. I definitely doesn't fill in pores and I dont think it really kept my makeup on long.

    I've loved nearly every Laura Mercier product I've ever purchased, but this primer was only average, and definitely not a repurchase. It feels beautiful upon application - it glides over my skin...
