    As i have oily skin i used alot of primers to see which one is the best for my skin. This is the only one that i have found that makes a big difference to my skin. My makeup stays on for longer.

    This primer is awesome. My 3rd fave (body shop primer and Estée Lauder matte primer). It does dry fast so you will need to work quickly when using it. I didn't have a problem with it being chalky...

    I have a habit of staying away from primers mostly because I have oily skin and primers aren't my best friend. When I put this on, it was a bit tricky to apply. I have makeup sponges and applied...

    I don't know why people are saying its "chalky,smelly,thick,rough texture" because the one I bought is odorless and creamy! You do have to spread it fast because it drys fast it does not make my...

    This is defintely the best primer for combating shine I have tried - it keep your skin matte and makes your make-up stay in place all day, it's marvellous! 2 downsides though: it is quite a thick,...

    Provides a great base for foundation and helps blemishes disappear but is very hard to spread around the face

    Let me start by saying that this primer is not for everyone. It can be very tricky to work with and there are certain techniques that make it easier to apply. The primer itself has a very thick and...

    For the price, I actually like this primer. I've had bad experiences with drugstore primers but I wanted to try one again, so I gave this a go. It's definitely a weird, thick texture, but I blend...

    In my opinion, this is a "meh" primer. The best thing that it has going for it is that it really REALLY stays matte. All day. And since I'm being honest here, I fell asleep before taking my makeup...

    I have normal skin that isn't oily or dry (but that is pretty sensitive) and this is one of the worst primers I have ever tried. It doesn't go on properly and goes all cakey and flakes off when...

    I bought this because I needed something to matte my face (oily/combo skin). If you don't use it moderately and rub it in well, it will leave white streaks. It feels super dry, which i want my face...

    This is seriously SHINE FREE. It feels like you're putting clay on your face. The texture is a little weird, and if you don't blend it in all the way, it shows up under your foundation. But if you...

    I didn't like this primer. I agree with others that you do need to pat it on instead of trying to rub it in. Working quickly in small areas worked best for me. I didn't like the consistency...
