    I am so indifferent to this primer - during a Nars makeover, the MA convinced me to purchase this as an essential. Since my foundation slips off easily, I decided to buy it for £25. I have used...

    I've never really used primer before except for a samples of Smashbox photo finish which is thick and greasy and overall nasty. So far I've been using this 2x a day for a week. Yes I put it on...

    My work days are in the 12 hour range, so a longer-last to my foundation is what I am looking for in a primer. Nars primer goes on a little sticky and dries a little hard. It is kind of like a...

    I got this in a swap with a buddy and I have to say that this did not do anything to keep my foundation from staying. It only made my face matte which I wasn't going for. I wanted dewey. It might...

    I like this primer, it and the Laura Mercier ones are nearly identical, I just prefer the NARS one as it seems to be a nicer texture to apply. I also like to mix this primer with various things...

    More like a light moisturizer to me, foundation applies the same with or without this primer. Luckily I got a deluxe sample of this when I bought the NARS Powder Foundation SPF12, which works...

    I bought this on the recommendation of all the rave reviews on MUA. I've always been happy with the things I've bought but I was disappointed with this. It doesn't do much for me. The texture...

    I bought this because I was told by the SA that it was the 'market leader' primer. I'm a bit of an old-hand when it comes to primers, I have used enough to know what works and what doesn't. This...

    I think it is better to call this a light moisturiser (light yet greasy nah, just hard to explaine) than a make up primer, did not help to keep my make-up at all, my skin feel greasy with this....

    Hate to say it, but I'm not impressed with this one! I was so excited to try THE makeup primer! Sadly, I was let down. It feels heavy and greasy on my skin when I first apply it. And it takes a...

    This primer is pretty decent, but would not buy again. I think its a little pricey for the little bit it does for skin. MAC new primer is alot better and makes foundation lay seamlessly.

    I love this stuff. I started using this under MAC moistureblend and I get compliments about how good my skin looks. I have acne and scarring. I will be purchasing this again and again!

    I feel like it acts more as a moisturizer than anything else. Edit: I usually have pretty clear skin, but lately I've noticed that after using this stuff I've got bumps on my cheeks!!!

    I use this underneath my BB TM because I want it to last longer and sometimes my skin turns foundation/TM orange so I was hoping it would stop this. Apparrantly this primer is the 'market leader' -...

    Yes, it does make my make-up last longer but it also made me break out- badly! Will not buy again.
