    I wanted to love this, but it just irritated my skin and broke me out. This is probably great for someone with combo (not super oily) skin and no problems with large amounts of silica. The oil...

    I did not like this product at all. It's streaky and doesn't blend. Makes my foundation hard to blend and streaky as well, and in some areas it makes it clump up. The worst part is it turns my...

    I don't really feel that this product is a primer, as much as it is just a mattifier. It was hard to apply evenly, with streaks all over the place (which do buff out with water) but had absolutely...

    This did nothing to control my oil skin, minimize pores, or make my makeup last longer. My skin might feel a bit smoother after applying this but not enough to be very noticeable. That said, I...

    This review is for the dry skin version. Best primer I have used. I've mostly sampled mineral primers and low-end brands like rimmel and mary kay. I found the majority of those for "oily skin"...

    I have used up about 3 tubs of this stuff deciding whether or not I really liked it. Verdict? It is better than nothing but not HG. It took some trial and error to figure out the best way to...

    I love this primer! It applies easily, dries quickly, and makes my skin a perfectly smooth canvas for my mineral makeup. It is gentle enough for my somewhat reactive and breakout-prone skin and...

    I think that how much you like this product depends on what you need. I need a little help with oilies, but my biggest problem is that both liquid and mmu foundations seem to separate on my skin...
