    I LOVE this product! It is truly the best primer I have ever used. I use the green (adjust) bc I have redness on my cheeks and it really does tone it down quite a bit. It also helps my foundation...

    This is an okay product. It goes on smooth and it does seem to balance my skin out if it is either too dewy or too dry. I don't really have any problems with this product other than that I don't...

    I have combo skin...but not really overly oily in the t-zone. This made my skin feel sooooo greasy first off and I know it's not marketed to be oil controlling...but come on, I felt like I slicked...

    This primer goes on nice, feels like silk smoothing over the skin. Fills in fine lines and allows for a nice base for foundation... at first. After a couple hours, it made my face extremely shiny...

    I thought I would try this instead of Laura Mercier's oil free primer. I have no gripe with the LM product but sometimes I like to try something different. LM is quite expensive and the Smashbox...

    I initially bought this primer hoping for flawless foundation application as well as a pretty matte/semi-matte face for the whole day. However, this made me quite oily/dewy and it is not oil-free....

    i like this a lot. but i found that the monistat anti-chaffing gel does the same thing for much less so i will buy that instead.

    Love this stuff. Keeps my makeup on all day. Feels greasy, but doesn't break me out at all. Will definitely repurchase.
