    This is a great product for prepping your skin before applying make-up. I have dry skin, and I would think it's better for dry skin. It gives your skin a "silicone" type feel after application. ...

    Oh, yes, I love this product. It works for all skin types. First, it is clear and second you put on your face, you feel like you are touching some velet-like surface and so smooth that you won't...

    I wasn't too impressed with this. It does give your skin a velvety textured feeling but I didn't see any real difference as far as makeup application or appearance. At the end of the day the side...

    I wanted to love this stuff. I ordered it from QVC and stalked my mailman until he finally brought it. I was convinced it was going to make my foundation look better and last longer. Instead, I...

    Finally got to try a sample of this and absolutely love it. I'm in my late thirties with drier skin, so it isn't too oily for me - might not work as well on younger, oilier skin. Put it on in the...

    This is my HG foundation primer. It's a matte silicone colorless gel that you use before applying your foundation. It makes any foundation apply so silky and smooth. Also, this contains...

    It does nothing on my face. It doesn't make my face look much better and did not make my makeup last longer. I tried this primer with 3 different foundations and it looked heavy. If you like...

    I have had this applied at the counters, and loved it, but I was always hesitant to buy it due to the price. Well, some lovely MUA-er gave me a generous sample, so I tried it. YUM! My superdry skin...

    I just recieved this as a GWP in my Sephora order. I'm hooked! It's a gel that instantly becomes a powder finish. My skin felt soft and smooth and my foundation glided on. I didn't have to...

    This works well either on it's own, or under foundation that doesn't contain silicone. It does matify quite well, and I like the pump. It's a bit costly ($44 Cdn) but I think it will last a long...
