    I dont really wear foundation, but you can wear primers without makeup, so I got a sample. It doesnt make my pores look any smaller, and doesnt get rid of any super slight redness. All it does is...

    I saw a .5oz tube while waiting in line to check out at Sephora, so for about $15 I decided, what the heck let's try it out. Am I glad I did! I picked up the tube in May and still have just under...

    This makes my skin feel silky smooth. It erases pores and makes my makeup last all day. The only thing I do not like is the price. However, I bought this in a value set at Ulta for around $50 (I...

    As far as I'm concerned I no longer need to look elsewhere for another primer again, that is, unless Smashbox changes the formulation and I develop an unfortunate side affect. This is old reliable...

    I've gotten samples of this twice from Sephora. They must really be trying to push this crap. That's what it is. Crap. It does *feel* smooth but that's because of all the 'cones. It does nothing...

    I actually do like this primer. It has a nice texture and goes on silky smooth. It does help my foundation last longer but for that price I could buy 3 tubes of the Claudia Stevens Facial Prep...

    I bought this product to wear under my tinted moisturizer. However I ended up returning it. It is too greasy for my liking and honestly does not do very much. It also gives that heavy silicone feel.

    I would not buy the product again because it begins to roll even after only a few months of usage. It does smooth the skin; however. I have a sample of the oil-free or "Light" version from a SB...

    I have a love/hate relationship with this primer, but after trying a few other primers, mostly hate. While I would say that this product *mostly* does what a primer should do, it does not do those...

    I really do like this primer. It makes my skin feel so soft right after I put it on, and makes my pores invisible. My combo skin is somehow neutralized, and my foundation (Bare Minerals Matte SPF15...

    This isn't a bad product. It just didn't work for me. It felt greasy on my skin. Also, I think it's overpriced.
