    I have combination/normal skin, and I like the way that this product mattifies my t-zone. Over it, I use cream/liquid foundations and heavy concealers which glide on so much easier; I just really...

    Hate the packaging- the pump always stops working halfway through. Other than that I love this product- I can't stand to wear foundation without it. It makes my foundation blend so easily and...

    Odd stuff. Made my dry skin look drier still and caused foundation pilling. Can't say it helped it stay in place any better than ...say...a light application with translucent loose powder. I...

    If you're acne prone watch out, this stuff is like putting cooking oil on your face. Very thick and heavy, I guess it would have to be in order to get that "soft" and "velvetty" feeling....

    Simply put; THE ROYALTY...THE QUEEN MOTHER of ALL primers. In my opinion, this original version of the ever-expanding line of Smashbox primers, absolutely has no equal.
