I love this primer! Glides right on and has spf in it! I sometimes use Laura Mercier one that illuminates. This one is so good too! Feels like silk...and soaks right in!

This goes on with a purplish white and leaves a slight cast even on my light-medium skin. Although the texture is nice, it feels a bit too slippery and slidey for my liking, and overall does not...

People keep saying it's HG so I tried and tried and tried. I paid twice for a travel size of this primer at different times in the past 7 years to test it out. So you see, I wanted it to work......

I got a sample of this and I fell in love with it completely! It makes my skin radiate and feel smooth. It definitely makes my makeup last longer. But maybe not for dry skin. I have combo and some...

I buy this in the 2 ounce tube after previously buying in the glass with a pump. It was frustrating trying to get the last of the product out of that packaging, and it’s expensive enough that I...

I have dry to normal eczema sensitive skin, this is a thick white primer. It feels like velvet when you apply, and it did not irritate my skin. It is expensive and I feel like it does not do much...

I, too, wanted to like this primer. I have drier skin now, and it was recommended as being very good for mature dry skins; but did not work for me. I tried a small vial of it and applied it rather...

I tried to like this primer but I couldn't. For reference, I have dry/ combination skin. If you have flakes, forget about it. It will accentuate them and because it's thick, you need to really...

Before I bought this product, I have read and watch reviews for this. I would give it a five, but then I discovered it has a white cast when used during the evening. It is best for daytime look. I...

I ADORE this primer! I hate silicone based primers because I often use too much, and it balls up on my face. This has very little sillicone in it and feels like a lightweight lotion when you apply...
