I have to agree with the general consensus that it is most definitely a dupe to the smashbox primer, and it really does live up to that. A Little goes a very long way and it's an affordable...

I've never used Smashbox, so I can't tell you if this is a dupe or not, but it is really nice. I have it in clear, and use about the size of a pea. It doesn't dry my skin or make it look chalky. It...

A sizable dupe for the smashbox photo finish ones which have been my HG for years! These are nice. But with SB my makeup applies smoother, looks smoother and lasts longer without me getting as...

I love this - i have dry skin - especially in winter and this helps to stop my foundation looking patchy - goes on smooth and helps it to stay on longer.

I love this primer! I have oily skin, and make-up melts off my face by the end of the day... not with with primer! I actually took an hour-long spin class, sweat like I was in a sauna, hair and...

This review is for the green primer, but might as well be for the clear primer as the green tint did nothing at all to help control the redness. To me, it's mostly gimmicky. With that said, I loved...

I think this primer is watery and a waste of money. It absolutely did nothing for my skin or foundation. I'm definitely returning this product.

I love this. When my face is already moisterized well it does an amazing job of making my skin look soooooo smooth. If my skin is a little on the dry side it doesn't do much, which is okay because...

As a primer it works as it promises to - but after 5 days it has made me break out terribly. Such a bummer because it's otherwise great to use.

I like this foundation! It's only the second primer I've owned and I honestly couldn't tell the last one was doing anything, and I definitely can with the NYX Photo-Loving Primer. I use it under my...

On the fence with this primer. I have combo skin and shine is a big issue for me. I use the clear version to help my foundation last and to control shine. Feels silky and light on. I don't have any...

I've been using the clear primer every day for about 6 months. It does help to mattify, smooth, and cover large pores. However, the biggest benefit I have seen with this is that I get significantly...

I bought the green primer to see if it would help reduce the redness in my skin and blemishes, but I didn't notice a difference at all, it just seemed to blur certain things. It did help my...
