    I do love this primer for what it can do, but I hate the price and the packaging. This primer works wonders for my skin and while has a strange feel when putting it on, dries quickly and...

    Due to medication, I have ridiculously oily skin and as such am probably more interested in products to keep make-up looking nice than the make-up itself. This is the first high-end primer I’ve...

    I did hit 'yes I would repurchase' but really MUA needs a 'maybe' option. It's OK. I do love that you can buy a smaller bottle for $18 and let me say after 2 weeks of daily use I haven't made a...

    I love this. It's the best primer I have ever used and there's no way anything could be better. It completely covers my pores, keeps my foundation in place and my blush stays on way longer, and on...

    I think as far as primers go, this is as good as it gets. It feels so smooth on the skin and allows foundation to glide on easily. My makeup lasts longer too! Hourglass can do so little wrong!

    $52 for 1 oz; $72 for 2 oz The BEST primer out there. That simple. But I won't spend the money. I use samples.

    Why is this primer so good?? Because it doesn't make your makeup look cakey. Most silicone primers make you look like you are wearing cake makeup, so I usually don't do a primer. This one I...
