I suppose Pre-Makeup Cream is an early formula primer because it's low in silicones and higher in stearates. It's probably not the best for very acne prone skins, but for this silicone-sensitive...

I've had this for a while and didn't quite work for me (oily, acne-prone), in the sense that it always made me oilier under foundation. Now something must have changed in my skin, I am more...

Wow it seems like this product is really hit or miss for most people. I would really just give it a 3.5. I have really oily skin, and this is good for 1) masking my pores and making sure they...

I tried this mu base and I find it not so impressive. it does helps to prime my skin, and aid application but not so much of correcting tones or lighten the blemishes.

This was an impulse buy and a big mistake. This would work with oily skin, but not for my dry skin. It is very drying and did not seem to blend well. I gave it to my daughter who normally loves...

This made my skin look too ghostly pale and made it itch severely. Dissapointing as its not cheap for such a small pack!

I use foundation primers almost everyday and, between those I regularly apply (MUFE, Smashbox and Shiseido), this is my least favourite one. I'm pale and this light rose cream makes me look even...

I really like the smooth, matte feel of this product after you put it on your skin. Only downside is that it's SPF is 15... wish it would be higher! Overall, it's an ok product. It doesn't...

This product was just ok. I liked that it had SPF, and that it didn't feel heavy on my skin like other primers can. But I didn't see much difference once i put on my foundation nor did it help the...

This is an awesome product - for my purposes anyway! :) I'm a make-up minimalist and was looking for a quick fix. i.e. Something that is colourless, light-wearing, and doesn't 'smother' my skin....

I never used a pre make up cream before but after hearing lots of good things about this one, I decided to give it a try. I bought it mostly because I wanted something to control oil. I don't have...

I really love Shiseido, so I decided to veer away from my Chanel Base Lumiere and try this instead. I do like the packaging better-- the tube is much easier to manipulate than Chanel's rather...

Finally found something that works. I have oily skin, and this so far has been the best primer I've found to reduce oil and keep my foundation on longer. Once I put this on, then put the pureness...

This primer comes in a 1 oz. plastic tube and applies lightly while giving a soft-focus finish with SPF 15. It truly reduces shine, erases pores, and creates a "polished" looking face even before...
