Not very impress with this primer since I can't feel any differences with or without it. I was expected something that would help smoothing out the skin before putting on foundation but anyway it...

I was really hoping I would like this primer. I have the one without SPF because it is oil-free. I never used a primer before and I bought this as my first one hoping I would love it, but I don't....

The first primer I've tried and it sucks. I have oily skin, could that be the problem? Anyways, it did nothing for my skin.

I got this as a sample from a sephora purchase I made a while back. I have the one with SPF. I really don't mind it! It's not amazing or anything, it basically just feels like I'm putting...

I've only used this primer for 3 days in a row, but I will update if I experience any breakouts or bad effects. I have the primer in the white tube (ie. *without* SPF). I have combination skin...

I react or break out with everything but not this. Let me also say that I use the one without SPF as that felt very greasy so if a lot of reviews are for the one with SPF, can see why it has such...

There are two primers... 1 has sunscreen in it and the other is just a water based moisturiser - a light but good one. Not really priiming material though. I will certainly use it up, but not...

I am back on my HG primer search again after trying numerous primers out there. I received a generous sample of the NARS primer w/ SPF from my local Sephora. I was actually debating on purchasing...

I bought the SPF version, and I'm not happy with it. It is "too" moisturizing for my combination skin. It leaves my skin too squishy for putting on makeup. I now know I prefer a matte primer...

Overpriced and can't do anything a light moisturizer can't do.

NO no no. This stuff is not good. I really don't see a need for this. It just adds one more step in the morning for me and does nothing for my skin. Overpriced and pointless.

I like this primer a lot. I find that, on its own, it calms down any redness, shrinks pores, and smooths over the general texture of my skin. It doesn't break me out. When used with my Nars...

To be honest, I didn't buy this. I had it applied by a Nars associate prior to trying on a new foundation. This stuff is AWFUL. It's slimy. I felt disgusting - I scrubbed this off the minute...

My friend recommended this to me, and I feel ripped off. I really don't know what this does other than add another layer of thin (expensive) moisturiser to your face. Maybe my skin is just too...
