    I've only tried 2 other primers but I liked this one the best. I put it on right before my foundation and I've had no problems with pilling or anything. My skin feels smooth and soft after I put...

    What a waste of money. I don't know if I got a bad one, but it pills like crazy! It's thicker than my Cinema Secrets primer and just rolls up into tiny little balls when I attempt to spread it...

    I bought the travel size of this product, which is in a user-friendly screw-top tube, so I can't comment on the packaging of the larger size. It didn't break out my dry, very sensitive skin,...

    I am a pretty much no-makeup kind of girl--powder and gloss, and that's it. I do need some mattifying throughout the day, because my Retin-A treated skin can get that "glassy" look if I don't put...

    Well, I must say I´m happy with it. It controls well my combination skin and makes my MAC Studio Finish foundation last all day long with no breakouts at all. Too pricy, maybe. Sephora´s...

    I just didn't think there was anything wow about this product. I have it in the bronzing formula but I usually forget to use it because there is no wow to remember to use it.

    I really like this primer. It feels great on my skin when I put it on. It does make my makeup last all day. The only thing I don't like about this is the packaging. The lid never stays on which...

    It's an okay primer, it's really heavy and I don't like the way it covers my skin when I put it on. I ddn't really use it enough to see if it would break me out.

    This primer has a funny consistency to it. It feels sorta greasy and thick upon touch. But after applying it to the face, it dries down matte, leaves no residue, and leaves the face feeling silky...
