    This is a great product. It is not a foundation. It is a cream primer for foundation. It feels sort of 'slippery' due to the silicone content, but it soaks in to a soft finish. The instructions...

    I have pretty good skin texture/tone to begin with, but I like the silky feel this gives my skin. I use a very, very small amount and have no problem with it going on smooth and drying quick. I've...

    I was hoping that my pores would look smaller and my foundation would go on easier and give me that "airbrushed" look. Nope. I bought this off of QVC and could not wait to try it. I was...

    Untrue to its name. This is NOT a clear makeup... but a base or oil free lotion. It's not very good as a base because it doesn't do anything for my makeup. It's not good as a moisturizer because...

    It's ok as an oil free moisturizer, it gives my skin a soft silky feel. But I don't like it as a primer. It made my foundation cakey even after waiting for it to set. Maybe it would work better...

    I have oily skin and I find that this works for me as a primer with powder foundations only. If I use liquid foundations over this I can't blend the streaks out of it, no matter how long I wait...

    I actually do use this as CLEAR MAKEUP, not a primer! It's fantastic. I haven't worn base in almost two years (age 33, combo skin, average pore size, moderate acne as a teen). Smooths everything...

    I can't believe it, this mostly works for me. I'm a very oily/shiny girl and this keeps me matte longer than anything else has. It really makes my makeup look smooth and when I don't use it, I...

    I have only been using this for a week, so the jury is still out -- but so far I LOVE it! I'm a PPP with super oily skin, and this has worked wonders for me.

    This is one of the only things that will cut the shine on my nose. My only complaint is that you have to be pretty careful when blending, or you could end up with white, dusty residue on your...
