    I love this primer! I've used Smashbox photofinish light for the longest time and decided to venture out to a new primer. Sephora recommended this primer because it is great for acne-prone and...

    Excellent primer for my skin. It's expensive but worth it. A little goes a long way.

    It's just "meh." Doesn't hide pores, doesn't make makeup last longer, doesn't really do anything. Just skip it.

    Hmmmm, don't get the hype on this one. It sounded too good to be true, and in my opinion it was! The positive is that this does feel amazing (hence the extra star I gave it), as well as it...
