This primer does not minimize the shine on me, after a few hours it started mixing with my natural oils and my face felt sticky to the touch. I have to admit that it does fill in the pores,...

This primer definitely eliminates shine but my make up did break up around my nose and chin. It was cute for it being on sale but probably won't repurchase.

It doesn't minimize pores, doesn't mattify, doesn't smooth complexion, doesn't hold the makeup in place nor prolongs its longevity. Don't waste your money -- it doesn't do ANYTHING.

This is the first time I have used a primer, so maybe I had hyped up my expectations but in my opinion this product doesn’t do much except make my skin a bit dull. It is too drying for my skin as...

It doesn't really do much for my skin. It's supposed to be pore refining but it just does not work for me, and also, this is not anti-shine base!

As I've grown older I have experienced difficulty applying my under eye concealer. The skin is too crepey and nowadays I tend to skip concealers as they only make me look older. But this primer...

Simply put: Doesn't do anything The texture feels like a lotion. After rubbing it in, there's a slight tacky feeling to it. Overall, it didn't decrease pore size/visibility, didn't decrease...

This primer doesnt work on my skin. At all. I was surprised to see good reviews on this primer. It doesnt make my face matte and doesn't control the oil on my face. Nope. Wouldn't recommend this

Affordable and works well, foundation held up well and did not break up or turn overly oily with it.

I like this primer. It covers my pores and keeps me pretty matte for a few hours. It isn't as long lasting as some other primers on the market. But it does what its supposed to do with no frills....

Packaging looks a bit cheapo. Would accept if the product was amazing, but this just doesn't do anything for me. Neither does it refine my pores, nor mattify my face. Total bummer in my opinion....

The packaging is so cool, I love it. But it doesn't work on me. I still get shiny so I don't know why it says anti-shine.
