    https://youtu.be/Llsu6f7fiic I bought a giant tube of this stuff back in the day, but never really fell in love with it. When you first apply it it feels super smoothing and silicone-y and it...

    This was a blogger/vlogger favourite during the period of 2012- early 2015 approximately because of this, this became one of the most popular primers globally! Due to this when I found out it...

    This primer used to be my favorite. I feel like the formula has changed just a tad bit bc my skin now gets very oily after a few hours of having this under my foundation. Its a good product if...

    I'm not sure why this primer is so famous. At first when I applied it, I liked the way my skin looked. It fills in pores and fine lines and made my skin look matte and smooth. However that only...

    This stuff is horrible. First of all, it's SO expensive and does nothing... It didn't make my makeup last longer And it didn't keep me matte either. I went through a phase where my skin was oily...

    One of the best Primers I have tried....It's just like Lancolmes that I have now.It's very smooth...not too oily or thick like Maybellines primer...I Love the feel of it.

    There are so many primers out there, so I usually try the ones that comes as samples from Sephora. This is one of them. I"m glad I could try it without buying it. The texture is just weird and...

    This primer is just... meh. I don't really see a difference on my face. Sometimes I feel like it makes my face more oily than it already is, which makes my foundation "melt" off quick. If you want...

    Hell no! Admittedly the consistency of this product is amazing, but it just feels so fake and silicone-y. It glides on like a dream obviously, but this did nothing for keeping my makeup in...

    Probably the worst primer in the world. It's popularity and status is bewildering.

    I've never really used other primers bc I don't wear face makeup often. I don't want to damage my skin so I use face makeup minimally. I like that this one is fragrance free but sometimes I feel...

    I'm not sure why this is considered such a classic. For me, it's like the Great Lash of primers - an overrated product that's a love it or hate it thing. I hate it. First and foremost, this...

    Unfortunately, this primer didn't work for me at all. Right after application, my skin looked really nice (hence the two lippies), but after an hour or so, my t-zone was so incredibly oily. This...
