    I LOVE this product! I have normal/combination skin but can get prone to shine and blotchiness. Using just a dab of this primer leaves my skin even, smooth and silky. I used it in lieu of...

    I love the way my skin looks with this. I don't need any foundation when I wear this. Makes my pores smaller and evens out my skin tone. It just looks like I have great skin without makeup. I...

    I've noticed A LOT of brands have their own silicone based primers and this one is fine. It will not help if you are very oily and it's the middle of summer, but I think it leaves the face looking...

    I was actually very disappointed in this. I was expecting such great things-smoother skin, diminished lines and imperfections. Unfortunately, it felt like I smeared a lighter version of vaseline...

    The Photo Finish Primer is suppose to allow you to give base makeup a smooth surface prior to being applied, minimize pores and hold down oil production. <br> When I tried this I didn't feel it...

    This primer does make your skin smooth as a base for mineral makeup but at what cost? The color correctors work well, they're very lightly tinted to correct subtly. However wearing this makes me...

    Useless for oily skin. It definitely has a greasy/slick finish. It makes your make up look better, but it just makes my skin oilier and makes my make up slide around.
