    I was really disappointed with the performance of this product. I have used smashbox primers in the past and loved them but this is heavy feeling and it does nothing for my pores. Many primers are...

    Does a good job minimizing pores, and it works really well in helping my fullcoverage foundations stay in place. I have used with both Younique Touch Mineral Foundation, and Mac Studio Fix...

    I haven't used very many primers, so I don't have a lot to compare this to, but this is the best primer I have used. It goes on so smoothly and makes my skin feel soft and smooth. I think it makes...

    I bought this given the hype but it is not the best primer I have used. If I was to choose a silicone based primer I rather go for Lancôme which I have used in the past- much better texture than...

    This works worse than some DS primers. It did nothing for me, except make my skin oily!

    Honestly, this primer kinda turned me off of Smashbox products. When I first applied it, the greasy silicone feel drove me crazy, and immediately made me feel like my skin couldn't breathe through...

    I only used to apply this one places where I think makeup would tend to fade and this honestly does a very good job. Only issue is that its too expensive.

    I found this Primer to be quite effective in addressing texture while keeping foundation intact for the day/night. Texture feels like a dry-Vaseline formulation, it truly glides on the face (prob...

    This product makes my skin look smooth, really reduces the sight of my pores and makes my skin a better canvas to put makeup on. :-) A not bad primer I guess! But for the price and the fact that it...

    I've gone through two sample sizes of this primer and everytime my foundation never sits right straight after, especially around my nose area which I am most oily. Would not recommend!
