I'm writing this review based on the use of several samples of this (I used it for about a week). Great primer that smooths the way for easier makeup application and longer makeup wear. Even if I...

It's one of the best primers I've ever used. I got a tube of it in the new 0.5 oz packaging, very handy imo. I really love this, it definitely helps to minimize the look of my humongous pores while...

The only reason why I am even giving this 2 lippies is because it did help with a smooth make up application. It did not control my oilies or even help make my make up last longer. I think it...

Ditto 'joyelle' and 'supergirl84' reviews below. This is the best primer ever and I love the way it makes my face feel. I finally get the smooth skin I never had!

This is a terrific primer. I use this alone or with a light dusting of powder. It makes my skin so soft that it feels like glass-probably due to the silicones in it. It's a clear gel that's in a...

This is the best product; I use it primarily on my eyes as a primer for my Bare Escentuals and Stila eyeshadows. My e/s goes on so smoothly and they last all day. This is a good product and I'll...

I really like the idea of a primer (don't ask me why...I guess I like to put stuff on my face) and have tried many of them to no avail. This one was no different. It makes my skin feel smooth and...

Great primer. I got a .5 oz size of this in a TSV off QVC. It helps make your makeup stay on longer. Great for minimizing pores as it glides over them. I haven't broken out from this product.

Edit: Screw this stuff. It broke me out. And yes, I'm sure it's this. My skin doesn't like silicones. I still give it a two because if you don't break out with cones, have at it. Why, why, why...

This did make my foundation go on alot smoother, but it also made my skin really oily after a few hours. When the bottle is about 75% gone it is really hard to get the product out.

This made my skin feel so smooth and gave it a nice matte finish, but it clogged my pores after only one day so it's a no-go for me. I was hoping it would make my foundation last longer but it...
