    I used this product after receiving a sample with an order from Sephora. I will definitely be ordering a bottle! Usually I have to apply powder to my face after being out for a few hours on...

    This is my HG primer. I have combo/oily skin (and when it's oily, it's SUPER oily) and never have I found a primer that didn't feel heavy upon application. I apply this over my moisturizer (Olay...

    I don't think this product is any different than the other primers out there. No better, no worse. It did not allow my makeup to last longer. (I can't comment on the packaging because I had a...

    This has worked wonders on my very oily/acne prone face. I normally have to blot or dust mineral veil on during the day because of the shine, but this is fixed the problem. Plus, it makes my face...

    I was delighted that this was a preservative free silicone based primer with vitamin C& E plus vitamin B5, aloe and chamomile extract. This did not cause my face to break out and worked quite well.

    I am sorry to be in the minority here but this did not go well with my skin. I had little bumps coming out as a result of using this. Also, it did not do the very least that it should do and that...

    I love the way this makes my skin feel. It's a great addition to my makeup routine. My foundation applies easily and smoothly and stays put. I'll keep using it.

    I still can't see a difference in my overall appearance when I use primers, but as primers go, this one feels wonderfully velvety on my face, so I suppose... not a bad product?

    I was really skeptical buying this product because I've never used a primer and thought it was gimmicky. However, I find that it really keeps my oily T zone in check by keeping it matte for hours...

    I really thought this would be a great product, but was disapointed. I will go back to the Lumene brand primer.
