    doesn't work for me. and didn't work for my friend either. maybe because we are not in our twenties and need more coverage. becca is much much better.

    Thank God I bought the travel size of this, although it is also expensive for only half an ounce. This does absolutely nothing spectacular on my face --I was hoping it did, since the high price and...

    I'd never tried a foundation primer before, so when I saw this sample at Sephora I just had to get it! I wanted to like it...I had heard that it was supposed to make my pores appear smaller and...

    I really would give this 3.5 lippies, but since they don't have that I just rounded up. This product is pretty good, but it's not great. I have combi skin (altough it's only on my cheeks and...

    I have mixed feelings on this primer. I like it under my liquid foundations, such as Healthy FX but under Camera Ready it's too greasy. I contacted Smashbox and they recommended the Light primer. I...

    I gave this primer a 4, only because I have never used another primer and do not think its fair to give a "5" because I don't know if its the best. I love it. I purchased it about 1o months ago,...

    I honestly love it. It does reduce my redness and it does NOT feel greasy. (although i do have very dry skin). My foundation stayed on longer and looked more natural. Will buy again!
