    For reference, I have combination, sensitive skin with oily T-zone with some dry areas in the rest of my face. I've tried MAC's Prime + Prep, was pretty happy with it. But it broke me out...

    I'm a Smashbox fan so I wanted to love this product but it didn't keep the oilies at bay for me. It's pricey too so I won't buy it again.

    I prefer the original formula. The main thing I didn't like about this was the smell! For me it smelled like petrol. Fortunately I bought it from a tv retailer with a 30 day money back...

    I prefer this one than the original formula. This one is very light, absorbs quickly, isn't sticky at all. Feels like you're not wearing anything, but your skin feels so smooth. Just a bit of this...

    This primer broke my skin out faithfully every time I used it. I didn't want to blame the primer, considering that I paid $44 for it, but it is definitely the primer. A couple days after I started...

    Pros: Feels weightless, makes my face feel smoother Cons: No visible difference in how my makeup looks. Also makes my skin more prone to breakouts. Would not buy again.

    I was very dissapointed by this product. It feels so heavy and oily even when it's by itself, and the effect is multiplied when you try to add foundation. In fact, I've found it nearly impossible...
