    I really wanted to like this product. It glides on a little too greasy for my still slightly oily skin and it sticks to my Shiseido Powdery Foundation. It gunks up my sponge foundation applicator...

    I first purchased this product last July (2005) and have used on and off since that time but it has never made it into my general daily makeup routine. I think the problem is, well, it just isn't...

    Although this product felt nice when i put it on, it did not correct anything as promised. The product actually emphasized my pores rather than making them appear smaller.

    I am really liking this primer. It's neither thick or thin, just right. It goes on nicely, my makeup is looking more natural, and it smoothes out my skin in a way that a moisturizer can't do. I...

    I reserve usage of this stuff for 'special' nights out and not everyday usage. It fills in fine lines nicely and also smooths on application. However, it does no good (of course) if you don't...

    Nothing special--was hoping to minimize pores and lines and this just does an average job. I'm looking for the HG primer and still haven't found it.

    If you're going to buy a primer, I recommend this one. A few thoughts to keep in mind: 1) I don't wear primer every day. I save it for special occasions where I need the extra *oompf* and...
