Having used this primer for well over a year now, I can honestly say that it works fantastically well for my skin, and I will continue to repurchase. I have dry-ish skin, but still get the typical...

This primer isn't the best I've used, but it's acceptable. I sometimes wear it alone (just under a powder to keep my skin flat/matte) & other times wear it under a foundation. I love how...

I have tried a few primers but I always went back to the Rimmel London primer. I then saw a makeup tutorial and the girl was using this primer so just as soon as I heard herbal i was sold. I am...

I have a lot of primers. This is definitely reviewed after trying at least 100 other primers. I have to say that I really like it. My skin can be really oily at times and if you are woman, you...

This is not designed for oily skin. I wish people with oily skin would stop putting negative reviews out there on this because this is not for you to begin with so obviously it isn't going to do...

I bought this after hearing raves from many that it's better than the high end primers on the market. However, I highly dissagree. I don't know what sort of skin-type could make this stuff work,...

This primer is very comparable to Smashbox Photo Finish, but much more affordable- what's not to like? It does everything I want a primer to do, and I'll be re-purchasing.

This is a very early review, I picked this up to wear out for NYE and WOW. Smoothest surface ever thanks to this primer. Only a small amount is needed, and IMO a little goes a long way, it spreads...

Palladio Foundation Primer is a great primer. Its been compared to the Smashbox primer but I've never used that brand so I can't say thats true. However I can compare it to Maybelline's Instant...

This is the first and only primer that I've used so far, so I can't compare it with anything else. I chose to buy this primer since it's more affordable compared to the Smashbox Photo Finish...

My first ever face primer (and review, hooray me!). Since I have nothing to compare it with, I'd say that it's pretty decent. I love, LOVE the silky, smooth effect it leaves on my face while...

This primer is very silky and creates a nice canvas for foundation. I do believe it blocks my pores as my skin has got worse since I began using it. I do hate the packaging as the lid doesn't seal...

I normally have terrible luck with primers. They either don't do what they promise, break me out, or both. This is the first primer I've tried that I've been impressed with. The texture is great,...

Nice primer, and really cheap one. I do think it's almost like Smashbox Photofinish, but this Palladio primer doesn't really help with the staying power of my foundations.
