    I had been wanting to try out this product for awhile and I was super excited to get a sample. However it turns into a discoball on my skin. It doesn't prolong the wear of my foundation or give my...

    I don't find this does a whole lot for me. It doesn't make my skin look any smoother after I apply my foundation, and it certainly doesn't increase the wear time of my foundation. It's a nice,...

    Ok primer, but not my HG. I can’t seem to find a MAC primer that works for my oily skin. Moving on to another brand.

    This primer on its own is not able to keep my oils at bay, but i use it more for little bit of hydration than a mattifient. I pair this up with the Estee Lauder mattifying primer and both together...

    This product lasts a really long time but I did not like the fact that it had glitter in the formula and it was just so oily for me.

    This is one of the worst primers I have ever used. I have one problem with this product, but it's a big one - glitter. Not shimmer, not "radiance", but a crap ton of glitter all over my damned...

    I used this many moons ago. I started to get huge cystic acne from this primer. Run for the hills. There are much better primers out there.

    This primer has been my holy grail for a while. It seems to be one of the only good primers that doesn't break me out. Plus it's got a bit of glitter in it to give your face a nice shine. Not a...
