    While I liked the results that I got with this product, I get literally the same results with Monistat Anti Chafing Gel. I spent two weeks doing comparisons between the two and the differences were...

    Love this primer. I have used MAC's Prep & Prime in the past, but once I ran out I wanted to find something new. I went to Sephora and tried this stuff out and fell in love with it. It's perfect on...

    I bought this product as it was recommended to me by a Sephora rep. The primer worked well to help my make-up stay put but did not help to smooth imperfections or control oil. Midway thorough the...

    I can't say there is a big difference between this primer and other more affordable primers. I'd save your money, and buy a different one instead of spending 30 dollars! Pro's: Keeps Makeup...

    I bought this because I thought it was going to be gentle for my oily and sensitive skin but sadly that was not the case. If I wear this 3 days in a row I tend to brake out, what I was looking for...

    This primer works really well for my skin. It doesn't break me out and helps to minimize the appearance of my pores and lines. It doesn't have a smell that I've noticed and leaves my face feeling...

    This primer sucks horribly. Like previous reviews stated, it melts my foundation off. This doesn't help with the durability of it at ll. It feels amazing when you apply it at firsts, a nice silky...

    This primer is just not worth the time and money. It's your basic silicone-smooth finishing primer... you can find a dozen brands who do the same for much cheaper. To Smashbox's credit I do like...
