    This is the best primer I have ever used. It is not greasy in the least for me (especially compared to many other primers). I put a little on my fingers and pat/press it only onto areas that need...

    OK. So I am such a sucker for cosmetic counters. Drawn to their overdone displays I discovered Clarins Instant Smooth. My first thought was that it was some sort of miracle eye cream, but it is...

    This is one of my 2 favourite primer, the other being Orchid Gel by Skinn Cosmetics. It works best on well hydrated skin, only a smidge will do, just scrape some off with the spatula, melt it on...

    Like most silicone primers, this gives a smoothness to the skin that helps any kind of foundation smooth on better and helps keep oilies at bay. I do notice a difference when I don't use it. My...

    It doesn't look good on oily skin (unless used under eyes only)- Clinique's pore minimizer instant perfector is in my opinion best product for disguising pores- especially for people with oily skin.
