This a good silicone based primer with a touch of green color correction. Does reduce redness nicely under my foundation. Works well with liquid and powder foundations. Makeup wears like iron...

This was an "impulse buy" but I'm really happy I've tried it. I have oily skin with a lot of redness and although this primer doesn't get rid of the red completely, it definitely tones it down. And...

Did nothing for my redness unfortunately. I found no discernible difference in the redness of my skin with this primer vs. the original clear Smashbox primers. It's not that it's a horrible...

BREAKOUT CITY I really wanted to like this since it does seem to help with my redness (I have type 1 rosacea) but it made me breakout in tiny little white heads all over.

I did not find this to be an effective primer when I wanted to cover up redness. This simply offers a tinge of green to the skin, but I do not find it pigmented enough to actually color correct. ...

This stuff is damn expensive; about $50 for the 1 fl. oz. tube. As far as priming the skin goes, it does a good job. It dries fast and makes my skin feel smooth instantly and doesn't break me out...

Definitely not my cup of tea. This is the first and only face primer I have tried and I'm not sure it's supposed to make my makeup under my eyes crease. I mean, after only 30 minutes of applying my...

I love Smashbox Primers, and I thought I would try this one because I have a lot of redness to cover. Overall, I love the texture of it. It's very smooth and feels great on the skin. It doesn't...

I do not like this primer. At all. The color expert at Sephora told me to get a green primer to counteract the redness of my skin, so I picked this one up on a whim. $15 for a small bottle. UGH! I...

I don't think this does anything. I mean, I don't think it functions as a primer nor as a color corrector. I love a good primer and this just doesn't do anything. Maybe, if I had to stretch, I...

Everybody is always raving about Smashbox primers, so I thought I'd try one. The SA suggested I try the green color correcting primer. I must have seemed pretty red that day, cause usually I don't...
