I would only buy this again because it's the only primer I've ever tried and it does a so-so job @ keeping the oilies @ bay... Other than that, this primer was just decent. I got oily about 2 or 3...

I don't know about this as a primer. yes, it helps my makeup go on smoother but it doesn't feel like its absorbing in my skin. I can still feel it hour after hour, which I don't like. I think I...

Great primer!! Much better than the countless primers i've tried, which include Prime Time, Origins, Smashbox, and so on. It's very blendable, so all you need is a little bit. It dries to a nice...
