    I used NARS before this. I do like NARS though HOWEVER... Smashbox does a better job of "filling in" those fine wrinkles I am getting because I smile too much. So in the end, Smashbox wins for me!

    I've been using Chanel Base Lumiere for the last several months, and while I had no problems with it, decided to try out Smashbox's primer. The Chanel has a violet cast to it, and I notice that...

    I seem to be in the minority here as of late, but I love this stuff. I am EXTREMELY oily, and this doesn't seem to add any oil at all, nor does it clog my pores. I use this before my CG Smoothers...

    Smooths skin to a certain point and gives it a wet glow. But did clog my pores and caused a breakout. Won't be buying again.
