The best primer I have tried so far and swear by. I was given a deluxe sample by a fellow muaer and since then did my love begin with this primer. It creates a smooth canvas as soon as you apply it...

I admit I do not use primer a lot. I only use it on occasion and when I want my makeup to last because I have somewhere to go later on in the day and won't have time to do my makeup all...

I have the oil free version in the tube. There are better primers out there that WORK. This doesn't make my foundation last any longer. My skin goes oily in a couple hours. Seems to even...

Its good. Not amazing though, I have the same results with or without this primer. I only use it on my sister since she has very dry skin and this primer helps a bit, but other than that I don't...

I love this primer, a little goes a long way, and it helps cover the large pores near my nose and the ones that extend out toward my cheeks. My forehead lines it does an okay job with. It makes my...

I have used better primers than this. It provides a slightly smoother canvas for your foundation application but thats about it.

I recieved a sample of this ages ago, and, from what I remember, it smoothed out my skin and made my foundation glide on nicely, but I think it made me break out. I'd like to try it out again just...
