    I agree with the good and bad reviews on this product. The trial size was included in my Smashbox complexion kit. I'm not a primer gal, but I decided to test it out with the smashbox HD...

    I hate to leave a short, undetailed review, but long story short: this makes my makeup fall off my face. I have dry/dehydrated skin. It doesn't 'smooth out' my skin and provides a less natural...

    I usually use this primer in the "light" version (which is white). I've been using that one for about 3 years now, & I love it. I decided to give this version a try to see what the difference was....

    This product is really good but the price is what kills me. Although it works well, I will def be sticking to my Monistat Chaffing Gel for now.

    This feels amazing on skin, like silk, and I have gotten several people hooked on it. I only use powder, so my needs for a primer are not too great. This stuff is truly amazing, but I recommend...

    i HATE this primer. i've tried several that didn't work for me, but i've never "hated" one until i tried this one. after applying it on the face, it has a tendency to "roll" or "ball" up. and it...

    The only reason I said I would not buy this again is because there are other primers I like more, not because I feel it is unworthy; it's a good product. It makes my skin feel almost slippery,...

    This is always hyped up in magazines so I decided to give it a try. I bought it in the "hydrating" version. Not impressed. It didn't help minimize the appearance of my pores and I didn't notice my...

    I really like this primer. It goes on very easily and I Iove how it makes my skin feel. My makeup lasts longer and I stay matte the entire day. I do only have mildly oily skin though.

    I like this quite a lot. It feels really velvety going on and minimizes pores. It makes my face look so nice that I would even wear this alone without any other makeup. It makes my makeup last...

    Works great but just buy the Monistat chaffing gel stuff.... Works the same, dries faster that smash box, and waayyyy cheaper!
