I was really disappointed with the performance of this product. I have used smashbox primers in the past and loved them but this is heavy feeling and it does nothing for my pores. Many primers are...

Does a good job minimizing pores, and it works really well in helping my fullcoverage foundations stay in place. I have used with both Younique Touch Mineral Foundation, and Mac Studio Fix...

I haven't used very many primers, so I don't have a lot to compare this to, but this is the best primer I have used. It goes on so smoothly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I think it makes...

This works worse than some DS primers. It did nothing for me, except make my skin oily!

I only used to apply this one places where I think makeup would tend to fade and this honestly does a very good job. Only issue is that its too expensive.

I've gone through two sample sizes of this primer and everytime my foundation never sits right straight after, especially around my nose area which I am most oily. Would not recommend!
