    Took a long time for me to get from LP Rose Illusion to ModelCo at different ends of the price spectrum, and finally to Smashbox. I must say that in terms of consistency this beats both LP and...

    Received a sample of this and when I first began to apply it I thought it was great, as it does fill fine lines and imperfections quite nicely. However after I applied my foundation, every time I...

    This product broke me out on the 2nd use. I did not notice any difference in how my foundation applied or looked once on, and it did not reduce pore size. Definitely would not repurchase, seems...

    I have the bronzing one of this. I find the texture to be very unusal to other primers ive tried previously, cosmetics a la carte, mac, laura geller, sue devitt etc. It does feel like dry grease...

    I have oily/combo skin - I get a shiney face within hours each day. I use Maybelline powder foundation. This didn't do anything for me. It seemed like an unnecessary extra layer of makeup that...

    I had roll-ups both times I tried this. I ended up giving the small tube away. I've heard that ones who use cannot get all product out, when using the bottle. I say, for as much as you pay for it,...

    I feel this deserves a 5 because for me it does everything it says it's supposed to in the Sephora blurb. It makes foundation glide on beautifully, look noticeably nicer and seems to add some...

    This product does not work for me. Something in it aggravates my skin and by 3 uses I had to discontinue. Like other products, this is loaded with silicone, plus there is some anti oxidants and...

    I use AHA in the morning, put this on, wait 2-3 minutes and then follow up with a sunscreen mixed with foundation. So far this routine is working well for me when it comes to keeping in the...

    I didn't love this. But I didn't hate it either. I've received it in a swap several times, and generally prefer the Laura Mercier primer over this, my second choice being the Sephora primer. I...

    This is one of the better makeup primers I have used, however it is a little pricey. Benefit's Dr. Feelgood did nothing for me, and MAC's Prep & Prime left my skin oily after just a few hours. I...

    Far too oily for my skin, and I thought it was overpriced. My make-up didn't adhere to my combination skin any longer than it would have without this primer. Not worth it.

    I really like this product, though I'm not sure if its mattifying goal is really achieved as I don't tend to be hugely shiny. I have dry to normal skin and this didnt make me break out at all like...

    I received a sample from a Sephora order. On the positive side, it's one of the easiest-to-use of the silicone-based primers I've tried. Spreads very easily and very little is needed. It dries...
