    I obtained a sample of this from Sephora. I was satisfied with the way it seemed to reduce my pores prior to applying the Hourglass foundation. After applying it, I used my go to MAC concealer...

    I loved the way this product made my skin look until it started causing breakouts. My skin is very sensitive and I think it was the silicone in it that caused the reaction. For someone who does not...

    This primer feels very nice and light, provides instant mattification, and unquestionably extends the wear of my foundation. It's paired well with every foundation I've thrown at it with (which is...

    Feels nice, but is ridiculously expensive and doesn't do anything to improve the appearance or lasting power of my makeup. I agree that it feels really silky, but the pump dispenser "shoots out"...

    I love this primer! It glides on smoothly and leaves your skin feeling so soft and silky. I did not notice a "white cast". I blend mine in evenly and love the added SPF. My only problem is the...

    This is really nice, it makes me feel soft and i can barely feel it on, unlike the primer I usually use, this is weightless.

    I absolutely love this product :] Didn't make my face oily and kept my make-up on for 8+ hours. Also great because of the SPF. a little pricey but it lasts forever. I promise!

    This is probably the best primer I've every used--but at $52 USD, the price is pretty steep. It feels like silk, and it has SPF, which is a nice benefit to have in a primer. I just wish it cost...
