This is my Holy Grail face primer. This primer doesn't target your foundation wearing time, it is actually meant to be used in order to change your skin texture and overall appearance. Whenever I use ...Read more

First experience - straight up magical stuff! It created a beautiful glowing velvety canvas (not shiny) my makeup glided on - I needed less foundation and it lasted a full day with no patches/creases/...Read more

I am in love with this. This is the best dewy makeup base I've tried. Didn't want to buy it at first because it was so expensive but it is just what I mean he was looking for. It's so lovely and dew...Read more

Got a sample of this at Nordstroms and tried it out for a week but didn't like it. It smells gross first of all and it didn't blend well with my makeup (had a pilling effect for me on my face). The sm...Read more

Good primer. Especially perfect for those who has more dry skin or needs moisturiser. It's very nourishing as well and goes as skin care. Good for winters and cold climate. During summer or in hot c...Read more

This is definitely one of the better primers that I have tried. But at this price point it better be better than just good! This primer provides a lot of luminosity (if you have oily skin stay clear) ...Read more

Superlative. Creates perfected canvas, both smoothing and illuminating, optimally preparing skin to enhance delivery of foundation. Unrivalled!

The Primer smells ok and definitively not like stinky socks. I do not like perfumed make up like Chanel. Great primer.

Edit after several month:

I do not need this and it dries my skin out.

Really nothing special about this product, I look for a silicony primer, much like the Smashbox kind; and this is not. It leaves the skin with a bit of glow, not the kind that mimics healthy skin, but...Read more

Very moisturizing and nicely iridescent, but stinks like a old track shoe. The pump is also undependable and seems likely to break. My skin is oily so this product may be a little too moist for me. Lo...Read more

This an okay primer, and the only one I have that is iridescent. However, I cannot wear it due to the smell.

Won't repurchase.

I was so excited to try this, so I bought one at Neiman Marcus upon passionate recommendation by the sales assistant. The first thing I noticed was its foul-ish smell, like decayed rubber. I still...Read more

I have to agree with the previous reviews, this is really a superb primer. It provides an excellent base und gives the skin a radiant appearance. Sometimes if I’m going for the no-make-look I even use...Read more
