This stuff is great! It works pretty well for my oily skin... mattes out oil for about 4 hours if I'm not sweating or anything (I still carry Mary Kay's blotting papers). It makes foundation...

I'm not impressed with this product at all. It doesn't seem to smooth out imperfections or help makeup last any longer. It also does nothing whatsoever to control oil. The only difference I...

Unfortunately, I bought this because I read some rave reviews in a magazine. I don't know what product they were reviewing but this primer balls up and flakes. Now that I've discovered MUA,...

This is a really lovely primer. I actually like it better than Smashbox. It doesn't pill like other primers I've tried and it does smooth the pores. I like to reapply it in little spots after my...

Great primer - I've tried Smashbox and Laura Geller but this feels the best on my skin. It's not too silicone-like and goes on nice and smooth.

The product is amazing! I got this Tarte primer as a sample and when I saw that it said silicone, I said it must be good. I tried it and I was amazed!! It leaves your skin feeling softer than a...

I actually like this primer more than Smashbox's photo finish primer. It absorbs much faster. It really smoothes out my complexion, and makes my skin glow. I've tried a few different primers and so...

This is the best primer I have ever used. I use this on clean skin then put my makeup on top of it. For me this has a very effective light moisturizing property to it and I no longer need to wear a...

This did nothing for me. It didn't seem to make my make-up go on any better and it looked the same throughout the day as it would have without it. However, it didn't make me look any worse, either....

This product balled up even as I put it on. There is no purpose in using it.
