Well... It works quite well as a primer. I haven't had any problems yet no breakouts or irritation, however I just don't use it too much. It gives a nice velvetly feel, but the draw back is it...

This product works great as a primer, but I just had to take 1 lippie off because I do find when I use it everyday there is just a noticeable decrease in the overall quality of my skin. I don't...

I used Smashbox Photofinish primer for at least 5 years. In Canada, this stuff is very expensive, about $44 an ounce. It works very well and I was very happy with it. I heard about Monistat...

I use this product as a makeup primer and it did a great job. It created a smooth canvas for my foundation and kept the oilies at bay. However after using it just about every day for 2 weeks, I...
