    I don't like the thick gel feel of this, which is what mostly turned me off to this product. I liked the pump though. Also, a little goes a long way, so if you like this product, then that's good...

    I was excited to try this primer since I am a BE fanatic. I use the whole line but was disappointed with the primer. I have normal - combination skin and was looking for a primer to give that UMPH...

    I was sent a sample of this from an MB friend and I tried it today. Love the way it felt on my face and it made my face powder look pretty flawless. However, I've been reading a lot of the reviews...

    I really like this primer. I've used Smashbox as well, but I find this one much lighter and more effective, not to mention cheaper. I notice a huge difference in the lasting power of my foundation...

    I think that this primer works very well. I first used it under the bare escentuals foundations and I found that the foundation went on much more smoothly and evenly. I've also used it under liquid...

    It's a great primer, the best one for my needs out there I tried so far. It leaves my skin smooth and shine-free for at least until the late afternoon without touch-ups. After this, my skin gets a...

    I'm not crazy about this stuff. It's not badly priced, but it's not great either and it leaves me super shiny and really greasy after 2 hours and it seems like my makeup (I use only BE products)...

    This one worked as my first ever primer but then i found that it had just stopped feeling nice and was causing me to breakout as well. Also it didn't inhibit any production of my oils and i was...

    I like how it minimized my pores, however I felt that towards the end of the day, my face felt super super shiny! I switched to the oil control primer and to me, it seems to have reduced shine...

    I haven't been a big primer user, but first got this in a kit from QVC. I like it quite well. It smooths my skin out nicely and helps makeup apply very smoothly. I think it slightly minimizes...

    I don´t know, this one came along with a kit I bought from BE, and I really don´t know if it´s working so well. Maybe I have too high hopes, but it is not a WOW product for me. Maybe my make up...

    Calling this a primer is a disgrace to all good primers out there. The skin rever upper does a better job at prepping your skin for the make up. It's really GREASY and doesn't make BE last at all.
