    I enjoyed this product because it extended the life of my foundation and smoothed out the surface of my skin, readying it for makeup. A little went a long way, and even the sample size I had lasted...

    Bought the travel size one for trial - and been using it for a year now. Love the velvety-finish, and it does help powder and liquid foundation last longer. But not the best product for eyes -...

    The package is hygienic as it comes in a pump bottle. However, I've used this for around 1/4 and its been sitting on my shelf ever since. Personally, i find that the plasticky texture of this make...

    I got the sample size of this (half ounce) for $16. I like how this makes your foundation glide on and have better blendability. Also, it helps to keep your foundation, concealer, powder etc from...

    If you don't want to have your whole face break out, it is common sense to test a new product on a small patch of skin (and wait 24 hrs) before applying to your entire face. I feel bad for people...

    I don't really understand what the hype is about. I tried this underneath my normal oil-free foundation and I broke out like crazy... Also, it smells terrible.

    This is a great primer. I have very oily skin, and it keeps my foundation in place all day even during extremely hot Las Vegas summers. It also evens out my skin, making foundation application...

    Did nothing for my makeup but gave me terrible cystic acne and a breakout so bad that I'm still reaping the consequences of it. I wish I could give it zero lippies
