I tried this out after reading so many rave reviews here.
I use the Smashbox 15 hour foundation every day, and usually use the Urban Decay Pore Perfecting Primer underneath, which isn't...

I've been using this for a couple weeks and I can't seem to make it work for me. Since starting a new cleansing routine, the pores on my nose are free of clusters and wide open for the receiving. I...

Got a sample of this in my Smashbox Studio Skin foundation box. Was excited to try it underneath the foundation because the foundation doesn't smooth over pores like I'd prefer. I didn't really...

I just purchased this during the Sephora VIB sale. I notice a slight difference when i apply makeup now- my foundation sticks better and stays longer and a little bit goes a long way. However, it...

Bought this a long time ago before I knew anything about primers, decided to give it a try once again since I've been searching for a great primer... it's not worth the price tag at all, it may...

I received this as a sample from Sephora and am very pleased with it. I have oily-combination skin and my T-Zone is usually shiny by mid-day, no matter what foundation I use; this primer not only...

I got this as a sample with my last purchase at Sephora. I was excited to try this out because it was the first time I've ever tried using a foundation primer. I heard it can do a lot to make your...

i enjoy this primer a lot. it's my daily "go to" primer, and i am quite satisfied with it. i alternate it with the primer water, or benefit's "porefressional" primer every so often, but always end...

It's good stuff but way overpriced for what it is. There are so many great primers at lower price points. No need to buy this one.

its the first review i ever wrote and its just to warn the rest of the people who might think they need it - it might make your make up last longer but any foundation above it will look horrible,a...

I use this in place of buying my regular lancome primer, trying to save money and wanted to buy something smaller too. I use this 5 days a week, and one of the small "sample/trial" size containers...

I originally purchased the Hydrating primer because I have dry skin but hated it, did nothing for me, foundation went on very cakey and made my foundation wear off even faster.
I saw this...

I love this primer! My skin is very oily in the tzone but parched on my cheeks and under the eyes. This hides my pores, keeps me matte but isn't too dry for my dry zones. My makeup lasts forever...

God I hate this stuff so much and Ulta always gives this out as their sample with my orders ughh (and Porefessional, but at least I like that primer). I always just throw away these samples...

I've always been confused as to how this has gotten so many positive reviews. I realize everyone has different skin but this stuff is incredible slick and has a greasy type of texture that I can't...

I love this primer! Unfortunately, it's not much different from Monistat's chafing relief, but I got tired of people asking me why I was putting that stuff on face so I splurged a bit to see what...

I'm sorely disappointed by this primer. I absolutely love the way it feels and how it makes my skin look in terms of smoothing out texture and filling in pores- but for some reason it makes my make...

It does help hold my makeup in place very well. There is no loss of foundation or anything. The silicone feel is nice and rubs on very smoothly. I do think that it is overpriced for what it does....
