    The first time I tried this primer I haaaated it. After a couple years I decided to give this a second chance and I am very glad I did. My issue the first time around was that I was too heavy...

    Great primer, such a smooth finish. The 1.7 bottle goes a long way and does not have to be repurchased often. I probably will experiment with other Smashbox primers before I make this a staple for...

    Good primer, I like the "slick" ones. Went on well, did its job. I can buy drugstore primers that work just as well on me for a fraction of the price.

    I got this primer a couple of years ago when I was on a Smashbox kick. I purchased the clear/transparent one, not the purple or colored one. As far as consistency it felt like DHC Vevet Skin Coat,...

    To be fair, this product is OK. It applied easily, blurred the look of my pores and helped my makeup last all day and night. On the negative side, it did nothing to control oiliness, felt really...

    This is my favourite all-time primer. I'm surprised to see that people tend to have mixed feelings about this product. Anyway, the primer is very thick, almost like a gel. It applies easily,...

    I got this as a sample and it glides on nicely and I liked it until my face broke out everywhere! Will not be purchasing.

    This is great for dry skin as it seems to hydrate my skin while smoothing it out perfectly. I only use the tiniest amount and spread it all over my skin, and allow it to dry for a few minutes...

    First, I thought this primer was great. It made my skin smooth and nice, so I kept using it. Until some days ago, when my face suddenly got all red and irritated after applying my primer. I didn't...

    Update: the one in the purple container is horrible. Not sure if it doesn't mesh with my moisturizer or what but it's going back.

    I have done extensive research and tried many primers, and this one is by far the best and non-oily. It helps with the look of my pores and the texture of my skin. I very much recommend this product.

    I received a sample of this as part of a purchase of the smashbox halo hydrating powder. It's a great primer that makes your make-up last all day. Make sure that it's dried before applying the rest...
