    Edited 7/08: Expensive for a primer, but you use so little of it the bottle should last a good while. I'm oily normally, to VERY oily in humidity or very hot weather. This is a great silicone...

    Bought this based on reviews... It's okay. My skin feels super-smooth when I put it on and it does erase some of the dry patches around my nostrils and my mouth. However, I don't really notice a...

    I haven't really used primers before, so I don't have anything to compare this to, but overall its a decent product. I will probably buy more when I run out, unless I find something similar for...

    This is a nice primer, but I think when using it with the minerals, you could use something a little more moisturizing/ wet looking under the makeup so you don't have that dry caked look when you...

    This is a reliable primer. I find that it makes my makeup go on smoother than if I just put the foundation on after moisturizing. I'd give it at least a minute to dry, and then one pump (it comes...

    I just started using this daily (under my mineral make up) and I definitely see a difference. My skin isn't as oily, my make up lasts longer and it looks better. My make up doesn't look as old at...

    I really like this stuff. I thought foundation primer for POWDER foundation was just a ploy to get you to spend more money. I mean, could this REALLY make a difference? Let me tell you that you can...

    I wish I'd tried this a long time ago. This is the answer to my oily skin, and getting my makeup to look even. Doesn't break me out either. A little goes a long way. I find that it spreads best on...
