Used up a whole tube of this and just repurchased today. I have dry skin but I don't want to look all-over dewy all the time, and this primer really works for my skin. I'm currently using...

I found this needed careful. application and to be applied sparingly. If I used too much product it started flaking and looking awful within an hour. On its own I felt it did reduce my pores and...

I bought this after seeing my favourite woman on Youtube rave about it. I was not disappointed. This makes makeup go on so much smoother and it absolutely keeps my oil under control. I am still...

I purchased this sometime around the end of last summer, I think, because even my matte foundations were not holding up well in the heat and humidity. I held off on reviewing it until I was certain...

Very poor quality product. Texture feels cheap and made make up claggy. Absolute did not stand up to 'stay matte' as I had as many oily breakthroughs as if I'd not worn anything. I was looking for...

This stuff sucks! My skin looked way better when not wearing primer as opposed to wearing this. I have combination skin; it's dry on my cheeks, slightly oily on my t-zone, and normal everywhere...

The main reason why this is a good primer is the rating it gets on the EWG's Skin Deep Cosmetics Database. It scored 1 for toxicity levels (which is fantastic) and is a low hazard cosmetic. Big big...

I use this for mattifying and place it on mostly on my T-zone (I also use a pore filling primer just on my large pores near my nose). I then use a powder foundation on top of it, so depending on...

After only using high end primers, I decided to try Rimmel Stay Matte Primer after seeing it listed as a favorite drugstore brand primer on a blog. I love it! I prefer the texture to silicone based...

I use this around my nose to keep my oily bits under control. Works well, does what it says and keeps the area matte so that I didn't have to powder my face all the time. I'd be careful with...

I was expecting for this product to be awesome. It keeps me matte for nomore than 3 hours. It actually makes me shine more when wearing it under my make up. Its pretty pricey for the outcome of...

I live in the Caribbean, and after two days of using this primer and sweating I must say that it does keep my foundation in place however I still shine like a disco ball!

It minimizes the appearance of pores on my face really well, helps to mattify my face for a couple hours and slightly reduces the redness on my nose area. BUT. It doesnt set and moves around in...

This worked for my sister, so I decided to give it a try - and I am glad I did! Pros: The price, straight up $7/8 AU. All other primers are $5+ more. The smell is pleasant and leaves almost ...

I'm trying to get into wearing primers. I've used a primer by Neutrogena before, but this tops that. It really has a matte finish and sits well under makeup for a nice even application. I would buy...
