    This product does a good job of prepping my skin for foundation, especially for mineral make up. I could also see using this as a stand alone if my rosacea didn't require constant concealer to hide...

    Lid unable to stay on - poor packaging design. My skin felt velvety soft and when I applied foundation over it, every flaw was magnified. I have large-ish pores and a few small scars; perhaps this...

    It did make it easier to apply my foundation, because it made my skin super smooth. But it settles into all my pores making them stand out more then when I didn't use the primer.

    A silicone based primer, the first available commercially. It does the job of giving your face a smooth finish and helps makeup last longer. The price tag isn't so great and for much less you can...

    There are much better, much cheaper primers on the market. Save yourself some money and get Laura Mercier's or the GOSH velvet touch primer. Both work better than this imo.

    I'm glad to hear that they've changed the packaging, because the packaging that I paid considerably for was far from ideal. The nozzle gooped up easily, and you couldn't get the last bit of product...

    I bought the clear regular one which is good for oily skin because it gets rid of my shine. It helps my foundation stay on all day, I really like it. The price, on the other hand, is quit...

    I like this a lot. However, it has started to cake a bit. I dunno if I did not moisturize enough. I think it works better during the summer season.

    This primer congests my skin and causes it to break out. I loved how it felt at first, but after a few weeks, I couldn't stand smearing this on my face anymore. Whenever I use this, I feel like I'm...
