    Totally didn't work for me. Agree that my make up flaked off big time and it didn't have any mattifying or pore minimizing effect on me at all. It did make my face slightly smoother but it felt...

    I absolutely love this product. It glides on silky and dries quickly so it doesn't feel greasy. It really does help to fill in lines around my eyes and on my forehead. It gives my skin a great...

    I agree with the previous reviewer. I had a bad experience with this product overall. It didn't even make my pores seem less visible, and it was so expensive. I returned it and opted for a good...

    I was recommended this product by a Sephora rep. I bought it and used it and the silicone made me feel completely greasy and I felt like I had a layer of grease on my face all day. My makeup...

    First, let me say I have super pale that has become combo skin-the pores have become a lot more noticeable. I have tried several primers, I liked DHC Velvet Skin a lot, but as I found it difficult...

    Gotta admit, I was hesitant on picking this up based on the reviews. Went to sephora's and tried them all, took home samples of NARS, English Ideas and PF. After a couple of days, hands down to...

    SA at Nordies gave me a sample of this to go with the sample of foundation. I'm so glad she did! This stuff is like liquid velvet on skin! Better than my HG, Laura Mercier's IMHO. Great pore...

    I had high hopes for this product to mattify and keep my make-up smooth. Unfortunately, I am among those that break out from this one. I do have oily skin that used to be acne prone (but has calmed...

    I never thought about using a foundation primer until I started to read all the MUA reviews. Well, I decided to give Smashbox's a try & what a big disappointment. It was greasy, made my Chanel...

    I love the way this product makes my face feel and seems to lock my foundation on ( much better than Morgen Schicks skin primer ) but the lid keeps falling off the bottle, and I think the price is...

    I don't generally wear primer or anything since I rarely wear foundation or powder, but I tried this on at Sephora and totally fell in love with it. I just use it by itself and it evens out my...

    I've always been skeptical of primers, but this really is a nice product. I'm too oily to use it on my T-zone - I use the shine-free there instead - but I use it everywhere else and it imparts a...

    Well, I'm happy. I don't think it's "miracle worker". I can still see my pores so there goes that theory. It does leave a nice finish for concealer and foundation, though. Very nice. I also...

    Overall, I was not very impressed with this product. I guess I was expecting big things after all the raves. I found the texture to feel a bit "greasy" going on. I applied it mostly to the area...

    I ordered this product because it avertised that it would make my foundation last all day. In actuality my face turned into a big oil slick and my makeup came right off. I tend to have oilier...

    The only reason I can't say this stuff is perfect is because I believe it is over-priced but then again, it works, so I'll continue to buy it!! LOL I love the "glide" it gives to stick fdn. I...

    This is an okay product, after hearing all the raves, I thought I'd love it more than I do. It seems to make my face matte, which I like, but I don't think it does anything for how my foundation...

    I received a generous sample from a very sweet swapper. While it does help foundation to glide on, that's the only thing it does. It doesn't help my foundation to last longer, doesn't contain...
