    First of all, it feels wonderful going on and your foundation will glide on perfectly but three hours later, my face is an oil slick. Might work for dry skin gals but not on my combination skin. ...

    I absolutely hated the texture of this product, but that was the least of my problems. It caused my foundation to clump in certain areas of my face within just hours (2 or 3) of applying it. I gave...

    This product was a big disappointment. Normally I love Smashbox, but this.... It's like coating your face in slime. Seriously nasty. I know some people love this but it was soooooooooooooo...

    Tried a sample from Sephora. Pros: My make-up lasted for a few hours, a feat indeed on my combo oily skin; it spreads easily. Cons: I broke out terribly on my chin and cheeks for a few days...

    This is hands down the best stuff if you find that your skin has lost its ability to "hang on" to makeup. I, too, used to belong to the belief that makeup primers were an extra, useless step. Then...

    It could be in my head, but this stuff seems like such a great prep for my foundation. It goes on smoother and seems to fill in any big pores... Then again, I could just *want* to believe it's...

    This is the best primer I have tried so far. It's very easy to apply, you only need a tiny bit of product. And it gives your face the perfect texture. I apply this and wait 10-15 minutes before I...

    It seemed fine by itself but once it was topped off with foundation and bronzer, I felt as if I was wearing a mask on my face. The bronzer settled into my pores and accentuated them even more....

    I felt like I was wearing a mask and my skin was screaming for air. It's no surprise I broke out horribly. It fills in every pore and stops the oil production from every gland on your face. I...

    I have combination skin and this product just didn't work very well on me. The first two days I loved it and then I started breaking out. I just think my skin type is not compatible with this product.
