    I don't think this did much to prolong the life of my foundation or change the way my skin looks. However, it makes the foundation glide on so much easier, where I can use half the amount because...

    You'll think it feels strange if you've never used a silicone primer.. But for women used to it it's ok. It feels smooth to me and actually sits on the surface of your skin, that's it's purpose. To...

    I like the product, but it is expensive. It makes my skin feel and look great. It doesn't extend my foundation however, so I'll keep looking!

    Although I know quite a few people who swear by this product, it is not for me. It does feel great against your skin, but to me, it doesnt seem to help keep foundation on longer. It feels like it...

    This product did nothing for the life of my foundation. It was pretty much a useless expense. I wish I had read the reviews here before purchasing.

    didn't hold my makeup. I tried them all... the regular photo finish.. with dermaxyl... light photo finish. none of them do anything for my makeup. I might as well wear foundation without it.
