    I have tried countless primers and the Hourglass Veil Primer is hands down the best primer when it comes to extending the hold of your makeup. I have read mixed reviews on this product and first...

    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, 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...

    This is the most expensive primer I've ever purchased and it is an absolute dream. It makes my skin silky smooth and leaves a slight pearl finish giving my skin an airbrushed look rather than a...

    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...
