    Want a better cheaper version of this primer, buy MAC's Matte Jel! It's the exact same thing, except MAC's is way better, you use less of it, it's cheaper, lasts longer on your skin, and just in...

    Ok this is a staple for me. I have really dry skin and this leaves your skin so soft, not oily. It is a great base before foundation. My foundation just glides on smoothly and my foundation lasts...

    This did not work on my oily/acne prone skin. It made my skin even more oily than usual and caused me to break out. I'm so sad that it didn't work because it was money wasted. I purchased the...

    Oh the hype over this primer! I honestly only wanted it to make my make up last longer on my face as I don't really use powder as I have dry skin anyway. This primer does feel really smooth on my...

    Didn't like this, seemed to dry out my skin. Made it flaky and my foundation didn't look good over it. I had to wash it all off and start over! Not a fan, will not use again!

    this primer has one good thing for me....it does control my oil. as for evening out skin texture, smoothing my skin or conceal my pores....it did none of that. my pores are just as large as they...

    This did make my skin velvety soft and my makeup went on easier. But! It broke me out like crazy and made the color of my foundation change on me. Will never ever buy again.

    I purchased the smaller size, which comes in a squeeze bottle. Since you only need a small amount, it lasts a long time. This feels good going on, however it clogged my pores like crazy. I broke...

    I don't use this all over my face, there is no need since I wear a long-wear foundation. I use this to even out the pores on my cheeks and the lines on my forehead. The effect is subtle but...

    I've given up on this product. It may be fairly good at priming, but Smashbox has got to work out their packaging issues. This bottle just doesn't work--you always end up unscrewing the pump and...

    Not a fan. It feels heavy on my skin; my face feels suffocated, if that makes sense. I also don't feel like it helps any foundation I've tried with it stay on longer or go on more smoothly. ...

    I've been using this product since it came out a couple of years ago. I prefer the pump dispenser versus the tube. However, you do get more bang for your buck with that tube. Smoothes out my skin...
