    Popped into sephora the other day to find a new primer. I had previously been using PERFEKT and I felt too gooey. My skin is far too oily to use something so siliconey feeling. I got this primer...

    This review is for the Primer w/o SPF. The NARS primer is water-based which is great on my sensitive-combo skin (silicone tends to turn oily on me). When I first receieved this, I thought the...

    I'm testing out this primer, and so far so good. I wanted a base layer that would make my face poreless, glowy, and even toned. It really works! It made a big difference vs. just foundation alone....

    This primer is so awfully oily on my combination/dry skin. It felt awful. So glad I had a sample and I didn't waste my money on it.

    This was not an effective primer for me. It's a white lotion consistency, and goes on smoothly, leaving a moisturized feel which is nice on my combo/dry skin. However, I do not feel that it...

    This product is very "watery" and "runny". It did not improve the staying power of my make up at all. I tried it in summer and it literally melted. It does not have a silicone feel like Smashbox...
