    I don't know how this works for other skin types, but with oily/very oily skin I found this didn't really work well for me. It's not mattefying enough to control oil and I found I was very oily...

    I've been using this primer for years. It does what it's supposed to do, smooths the skin, and gives a base for your makeup to stick to so it stays on longer. I do fing that my makeup stays...

    Buy the ELF primer for $3 when they have their 50% off specials. It works exactly the same in my opinion. I know you don't get a whole lot, but this is a product you don't want too much of. A teeny...

    I hate this face primer. It makes me itchy and it's a bugger to get out of the bottle. My bottle always gets clogged up and never wants to come out.
