I haven't tried this as a makeup primer on my face, but I absolutely love it for soothing and preventing chafing. It is a bit hard to spread and turns to powder too quickly if I try to apply too...

Yes, it's decent as a primer. I was oily in 3 hours and had to touch up. Now my biggest problem was that this made me break out. I wore it once. I broke out. I waited a week and let my skin...

I'm going to lay this out for you straight - If you have acne prone skin DO NOT use this. You're going to look like a swamp thing in 2 days. I read the reviews of this stuff, and then read more...

I love this primer! It is a typical silicony primer that goes on very smooth and hides my pores well. When you first blend it on your face it feels very greasy and shiny but after maybe 2-4...

I can't believe how well this stuff works, esp. after all the primers I've tried. Put this on before I went to work my 7-2 shift at a vet clinic, which does indeed involve lifting, walking, and...
