I was (and still am) looking for my HG primer when I came across this primer. I did have my doubt because this is a silicone-based primer and my experience with them so far hasn't really blown me...

LOVE this primer! It's the only one I've used for years, and I've repurchased it countless times. I truly find that it makes a difference to the appearance and wear time of my foundation. It...

I currently use This Works: In Transit Camera Close-Up primer. It does okay, but I am on the hunt for my "holy grail" of primers. This primer is not that. Upon initial application, the silicone...

Unfortunately, this primer made my face look dry. I love the mattifying effect, but it didn't do much for me. I think this would work well for people with oily skin. I have combination skin.

This is the worst primer ever! The silicone rubs and slips off, it doesn't make my makeup adhere. For the price, I expected my pores to be covered for a flawless finish but it did nothing, what a...

I have combination skin and it tends to be oily especially since my country has humid weather. This works well as a base for my foundation however since it's so humid here, which means sweating is...

I have oily, acne-prone skin with large pores on my cheeks and nose. After trying out Maybelline's baby skin and Benefit's the porefessional (in which both failed miserably at concealing my pores)...

This is just an okay primer. The Tarte Timeless Blurring Primer works a lot better for my combo, acne prone skin. This is a decent base and last way longer than most because a little goes a long...

This primer gives my foundation the worst base, and makes the texture of my makeup look awful! It's very drying (I have normal-dry skin) and makes spreading foundation very difficult. During the...

I have combination skin - oily t zone and dry cheeks. My problem is that my oily t zone will shine almost almost within 1-2 hrs of applying my makeup. This product is amazing! The shine on my t...

This is the first primer I have ever used. From what I understand primers are supposed to do for you and what qualities they should have- this fits the bill. It is a gel-like consistency and glides...

I've always been curious about Tarte products ever since Sephora brought it into my country. But it took me a long time to decide about trying out their primers because one, it's not cheap and two,...

This is one of the better 'blurring' primers, IMHO... While I am 110% convinced that NO primer will completely diminish pores , this one smooths them out much better (for me) than many of the...

I bought this a long time ago because the words "clean slate" and "poreless" caught my attention. Little did I know this was never going to work for me. I was slick and oily within a couple of...

This is my favorite primer, and I am about to go repurchase it because: 1. It makes my makeup look smooth and poreless (as advertised). 2. It keeps my face matte for hours after lunchtime. 3....

this primer is the exact same thing as smashbox's photo finish primer but the smashbox one at least works.

This was rather meh. It was an impulsive buy. It didn"t really keep my makeup on and i looked like an oil slick after a few hours. Neither did it really do any pore erasing, and if it did, it was...

Meh. I mostly bought it for my undereyes, where I have to cake on the most makeup. It works great for that. But it is difficult to spread on your face, and I've tried fingers, brushes, and sponges....
