    I tried this and it did nothing for me. It actually made my skin more oily and shiny. I wear mineral makeup and it did not work well as a primer at all. My makeup didn't last more than 2 hours.

    I had been wanting to try this and actually bought a kit with this included. I have dry skin and really did love the way it felt and made my face look after makeup application. It did make my skin...

    I had reasonable expectations for this product, but it failed. I have normal to dry skin and average-sized pores that I prefer to conceal. The Smashbox primer was really greasy, and after a couple...

    I wanted to like this product, but I was disapointed. It made my skin feel too oily--it never seemed to absorb in my skin. I think it actually makes my foundation slide off a bit. I like Tarte's...

    The only reason I said I wouldn't buy this again is because the primer with dermaxyl is better. I love this though, smooths my skin and makes foundation last all day.

    For reference, I have combination skin, slightly oily in the t-zone and slightly dry on my cheeks. This does smooth my skin a little. It absorbs some oil (though I still have a little oiliness at...

    As far as primers go, this particular one is not very impressive. It feels somewhat oily and doesn't cause make-up to last longer. You do receive a lot of product in one package, but Smashbox...

    This product does make my skin tone even and feel super soft. However, after a few hours I noticed oil showing up. More so then when I don't wear a primer! Dr. Bandt Pores No More is more...

    This was recommended to me by Enkore. I have fine lines under my eyes, that concealer won't go into. More concealer makes it worse. At first I applied too much of the photo finish trying to fill in...
