    I LOVE THIS PRIMER! I decided to try out a primer under my foundation, even though I didn't believe it would make a difference, but it DEFINITELY has! Normally after 3 hours at work my foundation...

    I've wanted to write a review about this for a while, but didn't know what to write; by that I mean how to express my LOVE for this primer. A little bit pricey, but definitely worth spending the...

    I really like this primer: goes on smoothly, creates a great base for foundation, makes pores and lines less visable. However, I don't like the $49 price tag and that it is hard to get the...

    This made me break out so bad! It's a good thing I only bought the trial size because it's very expensive. I know make up artists swear by this and this product has a cult following, but it will...

    I bought this a few years ago but rarely used it because it kept balling up on my face whenever I applied foundation. I also thought it made me break out more and gave me blackheads. Anyway, I...

    A little expensive, not bad. But I prefer the creamy primers rather than the clear gel ones.

    I keep trying to find a less expensive primer but in the end I always end up going back to this one. I have very acne-prone skin so I was hesitent to use this but I ran out of the photofinish...

    This is a great primer! I finally found something that works. My makeup has not melted off of my face. It has also lessened the oiliness on my face. I am impressed with this primer. I will update.

    Stay away from Smashbox primer if you break out easily. It went on smoothly when I used to it my Lancome foundation, but my face was an oil slick after 2 hours. After I removed my makeup, my fast...

    The first thing I noticed while using this product was the smell. It's like putting gasoline on your face... It does feel smooth, but I didn't notice my liquid or powder makeup lasting longer...

    I like this primer. I use the light version and find this is better for my skin than the original. It's expensive about £25 - £30 and lasts me around 2 months as I use it pretty much...

    For me this product does just what a primer is supposed to do and then more, like erupt my face into little bumps all over. Not worth it.
