    Just bought this today after reading the many, many reviews. So I knew not to expect this for mattifying. Face felt beautifully smooth upon immediate application. While the few enlarged pores and...

    I don't like it. It clogs up my pores and my face feels itchy. I think you don't really need a primer if your foundation fits. I have found the perfect foundation for me so I'm not looking for a...

    Very nice smooth consistency. Everything you put on top glides on. A very light gel with antioxidants. Will buy more of this. Only drawback is no SPF.

    I was lucky enough to have a Smashbox makeover not too long ago, and my makeup artist used this on me. Oh, I was in love from the beginning! This makes my skin so satiny and does a fabulous job...

    I gave this 4 lippies instead of 5 because of the fact that 1/2 way through the day I do have oily looking skin that needs to be blotted and I am normally dry. This product does do what it is...

    I'm currently using a sample of this that I got from Sephora, just to test-drive it. I never really "got" primers; I figured it was just a gimmick to get us to spend some extra money. I still...

    This is amazing it makes your face feel like silk and it doesn't feel sticky on my skin like some others tend to.

    This feels soooo velvety when it's on your face and it makes foundation go on more smoothly. But it's pretty expensive for what it is. Any silicone type gel would probably give you that silky feel,...

    I <b>hate</b> this stuff. Sure, it makes my skin smooth and my makeup applies like a dream, but if I use it two days in a row every pore in my face clogs and I break out horribly for weeks on end....

    I had never really paid attention to foundation primer until Sephora gave out samples of it. I decided to buy the travel size ($14.50) and I really like it. It's so silky and smooth, and it makes...

    I wanted the 'flawless' looking skin. I put this on under my makeup and it looks no different than when I just put my makeup on over my moisturizer. I'm disappointed.
