    This primer looked terrible under both foundations I use. It made my face kinda splotchy and clung to dry spots. Hated the texture. It also constantly got stuck in the pump, I was always using the...

    This is a great primer! If I need my foundation to last a very long time, this is what I reach for. It's silicone based and a slightly tacky clear. I love the pump and there's a generous amount of...

    I’ve tried this primer for a week and it’s a miss for me. I gave it 2 lippies because it does create a smooth feeling canvas for makeup and it didn’t cause me to break out. The smooth canvas is...

    Nothing special about this primer. Reminds me of smashbox photo finish primer that I used over a decade ago. Silicone base, so super smooth application. Don't put too much on to avoid pilling....

    This last and lasts and lasts... I had this with colour and a little bit of hightlighter... It's very soft, it leaves your skin feeling like a baby. However, I don't think that it grabed or made...

    Goes on smooth and makes skin feel silky. Good for sensitive skin. Makeup sits nicely on top of it, but in my experience, it doesn't control oil throughout the day. My biggest complaint is that the...

    I've always been a fan of bare minerals. I got this primer in the start up kit. I have combination skin, and some areas of large pores. This primer works for me. Its setting time is rather longer...

    I got a sample of this from sephora and I don't like it at all. It doesn't help my makeup, it doesn't last long, it's an odd color, and it's runny. It does have a pump though so I guess that's a...
