    The only thing I like about this is the neat texture. Unfortunately, I noticed absolutely nothing different about my make up when I used this. Maybe it's because I use a low end foundation...

    I love Photo Finish. I aslo got a sample of it with a Sephora order. I've wanted to try it for a while, thinking it would help my BE foundation go on smoother. It did just that. Unfortunately...

    I deleted my original review, as I guess I jinxed myself about how it didn't cause me to break out. I love the way it makes my concealer and foundation look flawless, but after using it for a...

    I really like this product. It doesn't make your pores invisible, but it does make your foundation last longer and apply more smoothly. I got mine in a TSV so I didn't pay full price for it. I...

    I love the idea of a foundation primer, but this didn't play out well on my skin. I have combo skin and when I used this product, no matter what foundation or powder I used over it, it would cause...

    This is one of my "cant do without" products. It leaves my skin satiny-smooth but not greasy. Works well on its own or under foundation, including mineral foundation. I cant recommend this product...

    This is an amazing primer. I love the silky texture, and how amazingly airbrushed my skin looks. I have extremely oily (but thankfully not acne-prone!) skin and find that my skin is no more and...

    I like this primer. I have oily skin and I didn't notice I was any more oily that usual. I like the way my foundation went on over; it's very smooth and silky; it's pricey but, I got it from QVC...

    This is not for oily skin. It also caused a major breakout for me, just about everywhere. It would be beautiful on someone with dry or normal skin, but it does not control oil and made me oilier...

    I liked how smooth this primer made my face - it really filled in the fine lines and made applying foundation very easy. Unfortunately, it is incompatible with my skin and caused an acne flare-up.
