    On my quest for the perfect primer, I decided to swap for this product. It has an outrageous price tag IMHO...$38 seems a little steep for the amount of product you recieve, so I feel that in...

    The BEST primer on the market!! I am super picky and rarely find a product that I am loyal to. This is one of my few staple items. It makes your skin smooth, silky and poreless. My makeup glides...

    I like this primer, it is very thick but spreads well. two tips to make it work: use a very small amount, and if you still think it's too "heavy" for your skin, try it just under your eyes. it...

    The jury is in. I've been using this for 2 1/2 months now and I've decided it's a "must have". I wondered if a primer was really necessary and I read as many reviews as I could about them before...

    This is an aewsome primer. I love the way it feels when you put it on and find it really helps fill in any lines and makes my foundation last much longer.

    This feels a bit greasy going on but does not make me break out at all. My smashbox foundation stick glides on perfectly over this. Powder to set it all and I have fabulous looking skin. A little...

    I LOVE this primer - it makes my skin feel soft and makes my foundation go on so much smoother. I've tried Laura Mercier's too, but that one made my skin break out whereas this one doesn't. The...

    Makes skin very smooth but can cause breakouts on some skin types. Helps liquid, powder, and mineral foundation last longer.

    This is my HG primer. It is expensive compared to other primers, but it is definitely worth the price. It fills in lines and pores, and it goes on matte and keeps me matte longer. My makeup also...

    sigh.. this doesn't do anything for shine, and i think anything with this much silicone in it only makes you feel greasier. i had CYSTS at the end of a week of using this sparingly once a day. it...

    Woohoo! Not just hype! Sure it feels really great, but more importantly it's a clutz-proofing tool. I can apply foundation without streaks and it keeps it wetter longer so you can blend easily...

    SmashBox Photo Finish Primer is wonderful. It's clear in pump bottle. Very Gentle and Non irritating to the skin. Although the product retails for $35.00 on website and $38.00 on QVC, a little...

    Gives a lovely, glass like feel to the face allowing foundation to glide on. I'm not sure it makes the foundation last any longer and I'm sure it doesn't prevent shine.
