    This was a fine primer -- better than most but not the best. I prefer CoverFx. After hearing so much about it I guess my expectations were really high. It did its job of priming my skin and made...

    I have a trial size of this product. On first impression, this stuff is pretty strange! Much wetter than I expected, and much more slippery...almost feels like KY Jelly or something of similar...

    I wear a regular moisturizer, let it dry thoroughly, and then apply a dab of this primer, followed by foundation. I don't use this primer everyday, only for special occasions or going out at night....

    I have used this product several times and while it goes on my face nice and smooth it gives my skin a greasy feeling. It isn't bad but I don't think my face looks any better when I apply this...

    I really like this product. However, I am not convinced this is the best one out there. I have heard many good things about Laura Geller Spackle, so that is next on the list. The Smashbox primer...

    Pro's: when applied it gives an instant matte finish that is baby smooth, it fills in fine lines, pore's and wrinkles very well. It does make foundation last longer by helping with oil control...

    I love and hate this stuff. I can't seem to wear any foundation, not even MMU without this primer because I will break out without this primer protecting my pores. It does minimize my shiny...

    It is not greasy or oily at all. Once you put it on your face, your skin sucks it in and absorbs very well.
