    I think this product works well. I only use a little after cleansing and moisturizing. It goes on smoothly. I actually use the blowdrier on my face for a minute (I do this with self tanner on my...

    I have been reading alot of reviews and I think most people are applying to much of this product to their face. You only need a pea size amount apply then another pea size amount and apply. You do...

    I bought this product, used it several times and felt absolutely nothing towards it. No hate, no love, nothing. And that's really unusual for me. I doubt that you need this product if your skin is...

    I was told that this was THE best primer so of course I bought it with high hopes. Unfortunately for me it made my face look greasy and my makeup didn't go on great like it was supposed to. I guess...

    This worked well, except that I felt like I was slathering Vaseline on my face each time. It would, however, soften the lines and pore-size, and mattify my skin just so before putting on the...

    I was seriously dissapointed with this product. It made my skin feel greasy and I hated it balling up on me. I also noted the little "plastic" like bits in the formula that other reviewers...

    This primer was just okay. I agree with a previous reviewer who stated that it was oily and powdery. That's how I felt about it. It was weirdly... powdery.. but kinda silicone-y at the same...

    First off, the packaging has been revamped but having said that, I buy the smallish tube to get every last drop. I jumped on the bandwagon and will never jump off. I LOVE this stuff - I thought...

    First of all, I HATE how the lid doesn't snap into place. Why did they do that? Anyway, this product allows makeup to go on like silk and look beautiful. However, like a lot of women, it breaks...
