    I really do like this product. Makes my foundation go on silky smooth and keeps it on longer. I used it every day until I discovered the Monistat Anti-Chafing Powder Gel. Now I can't imagine paying...

    Made me break out each time I tried to use it. Didn't help w/ keeping my foundation on longer or keep the shine away. To me it wasn't worth the hype.

    The primer is good for women who are older than 35. This primer works well if you use it sparingly and wait for it to dry for a couple of minutes. I use it under Bare Minerals foundation and it...

    This is a cool product to try if you're willing to pay. It looks like a liquid or an oil but rubs on completely invisible and with a powder/velvet feel. It didnt seem to do much except suck the...

    The first thing I noticed was that the cap falls off really easily, which is annoying, but still not a deal breaker. I was really happy with the feel of the product on my skin, and it did seem to...

    I've used other primers before and they've made my skin terrible (which is rare for me). This one does everything it's supposed without clogging pores or feeling heavy. Foundation goes on so...

    I have oily skin and was hoping this product would help with keeping oil at bay and minimizing my pores but it didn't do either. It makes my face feel smooth but in a powdery way, and after a week...

    Ditto what Georgette said. The MA at Sephora explained that this is supposed to be a buffer between your moisturizer and your makeup. Let your moisturizer sink in and make sure your face is...

    If you don't like silicone on your face, you won't like this. I did not think I would like a silicone primer because I thought it might feel mask-like, but it actually does not feel heavy, greasy,...

    Received this as a sample, and I was very excited to try it. It feels to good going on b/c it dissolves to like a powdery finish. However, I don't think is very good for the skin as it kinda felt...

    I used a primer years ago without success and probably never would have tried again except Nordstrom sent me a free sample. Well, when I started to "hoard" the sample I knew I was in trouble. It...
