    A little goes a long way. Just one pump of this stuff applied over my t-zone helped my mineral make-up and my liqued make-up go on better and stay on better. I apply it over my sunscreen, blow...

    I purchased the $18.00 travel size tube, which I find very easy to use and tote around in my handbag. After experimenting with this product, I have found that it works better to use a very thin...

    This is my first primer. I bought it because I wanted something to fill in my lines and keep my makeup from seeping into them, getting cakey and making me look downright awful come late afternoon....

    I like this primer because it helps my mineral foundation glide on smoothly and makes my skin feel like silk. It is clear and comes in a small rectangular container with .93 oz. of product for $36....

    I started using this under my mineral makeup to help control shine on my nose and make my pores appear smaller. This does neither. In fact, I think my face seemed to get shinier faster when I used...

    Strange make up feeling, too silicony, I hate it !!! I have oily skin and it doesn't even control little bit. My concealer doesn't stick well on top of this. NO POINT !!!

    I was so disappointed by this product. Initially my foundation went on smooth but within a short time I was extremely oily all over (normally I just get a little shiny in the T-zone). I tried...

    This primer is not nearly as good as the one by MAC. This made my skin feel like it had a slick on it even though i was careful to not use too much product - and then my foundation went on blotchy....

    This is an HG product for me. I can't believe what a difference it has made and how I never knew how important a primer would be for me. Ok, so why do I love this stuff so much? Well, I wear liquid...

    Very Dissapointed. I was expecting too much I guess! It did nothing for me, just made my skin feel greasy. My foundation lasts just as long if I dont wear it and I think its making me break out....

    The only thing I liked about this product was the finish it gave my skin. It helped to give me a flawless finish, but it felt so heavy and suffocating on my skin. I tried it for a week and had a...

    Note: Buy the Sephora travel tubes because it's a better deal than the glass nail polish pumps. I like this primer because it gives me this "airbrushed" look when I wear it ALONE (sans...

    This is a very good primer and mattifier, but you can get the same effect from Monistat Powder Gel and pay only $7 for 1.5 oz, compared to $36 for 1 oz. Don't waste your money!
