    I don't know why this product works so well with foundation but it does. Alone, it doesn't look like it does anything but when I put on my makeup I do see a difference. Or sometimes I just wear...

    I received a sample of this product and gave it a test run on a day I knew I'd be working long hours in the office. It did indeed tame my usual late afternoon shine, but it also broke me out...

    Boo. I am totally heartbroken that I don't love this stuff. It was really expensive. It looks pretty in the cooler months, but if you tend to get oily as the day goes on, then beware.

    I really like this primer; it's esp. good with Bare Minerals. It helps it glide on and doesn't leave an oily residue like you usually get with moisturizers. I haven't had any problems with break...

    It made my skin look great the first few times I used it. My makeup held all day, minimal oiliness. Then, my skin broke out...horribly. It's as though my skin "ate" the primer and spat out giant...

    This primer is amazing. It goes easily on my skin, dries quickly & leaves a really smooth matte finish. Makeup will stay on longer than if I were to put just moisturizer. Apart from that, I don't...

    This formula of the Photo Finish primer works just as well as my preferred formula, the one with SPF. The difference here is that this one breaks me out for some reason while the other one...
