    It doesn't work... At all! Doesn't make makeup last any longer or prevent creases. It has a gooey consistency and it has a foul smell. I did find a purpose for it though, as an eyeshadow...

    Thick, gel-like consistency.Applies easily. Lavender colored but doesn't show up as lender on my skin. Smoothed my skin well. Felt a little dry, but I really like it.

    I have combo skin, shinier t-zone but not usually "oily"... Blackheads and what not. Good: Powder sticks on better Bad: Gave me cystic acne on my nose. Augh. Can't say foundation or...

    I really notice a difference in my makeup when I wear this. I have combination skin, and in the winter time I use a foundation for dry skin. I notice at the end of the day my makeup will still look...

    This is probably more so suited for dry / normal or mature skin. I have dry / normal skin & I do like this. I most times like to pair this with a foundation that doesn't have much moisturizing...

    I really liked the primer they have in the white tube, so I decided to branch out and try this primer. It makes my face oily and shiny. Wouldn't recommend it. Didn't notice the sparkles.

    For the most part I think it gets the job done. Its a bit oily/greasy which is the biggest negative about this product. Primers are so expensive and for the money it does just fine.

    I had bought the perfecting primer from hard candy before this one, I'll have to say that this is the better one. Although they both have the same weird smell, I thought this one made my face seem...

    This is stupid. Why did they add glitter (not shimmer) particles to it? Lame. It works fine as a primer, but I will not repurchase due to the unnecessary punch of silver glitter flecks.

    Ughh. I read amazing reviews on this, and am so disappointed. It's the sparkle that did it for me. It says on the product that you can wear it "under foundation or alone." I would never wear it...

    I bought this primer after having zero luck at Sephora. I couldn't find anything that didn't break me out or make my skin overly greasy. This was only $8 so I figured why not? So glad I decided to...
