    I got this as a sample and oh my lo, I love it! I use pretty heavy, greasy creams due to my dry skin and have a hard time getting a nice finish with my foundation/powder. Then I started using...

    I bought this product after looking it up online. My skin is fairly complicated. I bought this because of the promise of longer wearing foundation, I can't really say that ever paid off. HOWEVER,...

    I picked this product up because I had a number of friends rave about it. Before this, I had never used a primer. To be honest, I don't see what my friends see. Yes, it does make my skin REALLY...

    Pros: Makes my skin feel smooth and minimizes my pores so I do get the 'blur' effect. Luckily, no problem with it causing acne and I'm very acne prone. Doesn't feel greasy when I apply and have no...

    My HG primer so far. I have dry skin, so I dont think this is for oily girls. Makes my makeup go on smoother and flawless. The price is bad and I actually think there are better primers out there...

    Yuck, I hate this primer. It does nothing for my oily skin and does not make my makeup stay on much longer. I think that this primer would be great for someone with dry, clear skin. It does make...

    I'd prefer this product to be in a tube as it'd be much more portable and travel friendly. I like the product though as it makes my skin so smooth, foundation just glides on easily. Having said...

    I'm not sure I'm totally sold on the idea of primer in general. It seems like a superfluous step to me and I don't see any difference when I use it. This formulation seems silky and feels good on...
