    I have been on the lookout for a primer that 'smooths' my face for foundation. Granted, I've only used this for a few times - and never used it again. The Present made my skin dry, adding flakiness...

    This is a fairly good primer. I normally use Bare Escentuals skin rev er up er. This glides on nicely, and works well to keep your makeup on. It makes you skin look nice even if you dont wear...

    I have combination skin, and use this under a powder foundation, or alone. It does keep the shinies in check for me when used as a primer. I love it, but I do wish it had some sunscreen protection....

    I use this as a foundation primer, as a mattifier over moisturizer and as a "clear foundation" on days where I don't want to wear m/u, but need to look a little better than my natural self. ...

    This is my HG in primers. Works great for my combination skin. I love the smell as well. I have used LM and Smash Box Photofinish and I honestly think The Present beats the socks off of them! ...

    I used this for about a year. This was one of my HG products for a while. This is a great product. It's kinda expensive, but worth it for my oily skin. I do get really dry patches under my eyes, so...

    I really like this product. I use it mostly as a primer, applying the airbrush foundation over this. But on days that I spend at home, I'll wear it alone. It definately smooths my skin out!!

    I was so disappointed with this product. It made my skin look worse not better and actually drew attention to my hyperpigmentation. I couldn't return it fast enough.

    This product sucks! It broke me out terribly and felt gross. Try Laura Gellar Spackle; it's much better. This product is a waste of hard earned money.

    I can only use this when I really need it (for special occasions)because it makes me break out if I use it every day. It does make my skin look so much better, though.

    Seals in your treatment products, as it suggests. I don't break out when I use this and I have 20-something skin that has a mind of its own. It's better than more expensive primers, I think.

    It doesn't really make me more matte, but I feel like it does control oil. It just makes my skin feel fantastic which is why I love it, and I think it makes it look noticeably healthier. I have...
