This product is genius! I only wear a primer if I'm going out and not for everyday use because 1) it's pretty pricey and 2) because it's silicone based, I'm afraid my acne-prone skin would break...

I LOVE this. It's a must have. I can't do my makeup without it. It hides my large pores and makes any foundation looks so much smoother. If you don't use this already try and get a sample. You...

I didn't notice any difference in my foundation after trying this. It didn't smooth my skin, my foundation didn't last any longer, and it didn't "matte-ify" my face. I bought the "light" version...
