    Like many others I really wanted to like this product. Maybe my expectations were too high and there could be some amount of user error...but I can't get this to work for me. It probably would be...

    This is perfect for me! I don't use foundation but sometimes just need a little something to even out my skin tone or control a bit of shine. I have dry sensitive skin and this does not dry my...

    This product is perfect for people like me who go to a tanning salon. I use it after I moiturize. I use it as a "clear" foundation seeing as I have a tan I have no need for regular foundation. This...

    This worked pretty well but not so much that I would re-purchase. I found that I needed to use more foundation whenever I put this on but I am not quite sure why and I didn't really minimize the...

    I don't understand this product at all. Philosophy markets this as clear makeup as if it were some sort of miracle (Which it isn't). I can't believe I actually spent good money on a souped up...

    I use The Present as my makeup primer, and it works beautifully. You only have to use a tiny bit on a clean face, let it sit for about 2 minutes, and your makeup is ready to go on so smoothly. ...

    This product has a good texture and it does make your face look smoother with a matte texture, but if you have terrible acne like mine it might make you break out into fine little bumps all over....

    I have used three different primers: Smashbox primer, Laura Geller Spackle, and then I tried The Present. The Present has worked the best for me. What I want a primer to do is to keep my makeup in...

    I bought this product because I was looking for a decent makeup base. I suppose I expected miracles, but ended up with tragedy. It was supposed to ease my makeup application and made it streaky,...
