    I got a sample at Ulta and really liked it. My skin was silky smooth but didn't feel sticky or greasy. I really want to buy it but it's so pricey I haven't wanted to spend the money.

    As much as I hate the packaging, this really is one of the best primers. My skin looks and feels silky smooth, my pores disappear (mine are normal size - not sure how well it would do if one had...

    I really really like this product a lot. I've been hearing about it for years and finally broke down and bought it from Sephora, and I must admit that I get it. I like that it sinks in quickly and...

    I got this primer as part of a QVC kit -- and I just don't love it -- it feels greasy on me even though I didn't break out from it, also I don't feel that my makeup stay on any longer with it on ? ...

    This product came in a Smashbox set I recieved and I was really disappointed. It made my skin oily and it did not feel even when I put it on. I am going to stick with my moisturizer as a primer,...

    I was wondering what all the hype was about this primer so I thought I'd give it a shot. Before this I used an Ulta primer which was fine but nothing spectacular. The Smashbox primer made me look...

    Greasy feeling. During the day this made me feel like I wanted to take a cloth to my face and wipe it off. I am a combo-skin and this does not work for me at all.

    I LOVEEEEEEEEE this product. Before this primer, I was using Laura Mercier's and I have to say this is 100x better. Laura Mercier's primer was too milky for me and made my skin look oily after (and...

    This definatly helps keep your makeup in place longer. It slightly blurs imperfections and fill pores. It feels very moist going on. Good for dry or older skin. This is no wrinkle filler but...

    I like this primer and it does help my makup last. I would purchase it again if NARS went out of business because I prefer NARS primer to this. It's by no means a bad product though.

    I have had this product in my kit for years however i have to say i'm removing it. It is just "ok". Not a big fan of this. It clogs the pores and flakes off the skin. My clients are not happy.

    I agree with reviewers who've said this make their faces feel oilier or shinier. I just don't feel like I get the matte effect that I had hoped for with this. It actually doesn't appear to do...

    I really wanted to like this product. My face did look smoother and made my makeup look better, but it broke me out quite a bit. Though I do have sensitive skin.

    I have the travel size in the red correcting formula and I love it. I've found that the travel size can allow you to squirt a bit too much out so I wish this had a pump as well. Makes my face...
