I only got a sample, tried it once and threw it out so my rating for price and packaging are average in an attempt at fairness. I have no idea what the price or packaging is like. Those ratings are...

Unfortunately, this product is outstanding. The price is exorbitant but if you are like me and have to wear KA's SSE, this will make it stick. I used the Chanel white primer and it would slide...

I actually like this primer under all of my foundations...especially during the chillier months since my skin tends to be on the more dehydrated side. It gives me just that last touch of moisture...

I had heard wonderful things about this primer. I have the SSE foundation and love it, so naturally I thought I would be thrilled with this primer. And I was for a little while. I will stand by...

This product is just not worth the high price tag. I have found others, quite less expensive, that work as well. Sephora Brand Smoothing Primer is an excellent choice at a fraction of the price. ...

I usually loathe primers and their awful silicone slip. Aucoin's, however, is different, and feels more like a light moisturizer. This is the only primer I've found that really binds foundation...

I've been on the hunt for a good primer which would work on my oily skin. This primer is light and not a heavy silicone feel like Smashbox. Two pumps is all I need to do my whole face. Makeup...

OK, so I like this product. It's silicon based so it makes my GA LSF glide on even more smoothly, but this is pretty expensive and you don't get much product. I might try Laura Mercier's oil-free...

I have started my search for the perfect primer a month ago, so far I have tried SmashBox, BareEscental, DHC, ShuUmera, and KA. The former 3 are silicone based, I find that BE has less silicone in...

I purchased this product on VictoriasSecret.com on clearance price, so I paid $19.99 plus S&H and tax rather than $42, the actual retail price. I lucked out because this product works quite well,...

Love this product! Very, very different from other primers I've used (Smashbox Photofinish, Paula Dorf for Normal/Dry Skin) -- much less siliconey, and more hydrating. Feels good on the skin and...

Well, I like the packaging but agree it would be nice to see how much you have left. Especially, if this was something you must have on every day. I actually bought this many months ago and never...

I really like this primer! I've tried the Laura Mercier one (which did nothing for me) and the Smashbox one (which is good also). The K.A. one seems to have less silicone than the Smashbox one so...

I think this product is over priced and my pump broke but otherwise the product itself is light and silky. It did make my SSE go on smoother and curbed the tendency to grab on to my dry...

As with any primer, it claims to provide a base for flawless foundation application. As with all primers I've tried, I really don't notice a difference. Consistancy is a very light lotion. Glides...
