This review is for the clear one, number 400. For some reason that wasn't an option to review on here. It's somewhat hydrating, but not greasy. It doesn't make my makeup seperate like other primers. ...Read more

This was a very average primer, and I wouldn't recommend it for people who need extra help with their makeup. I have very oily skin and this just didn't work out for me. I think it would work better f...Read more

Basically disguised oil in a package. I decided to give primer a go for the first time in a few years. I wasn't thrilled with the NYX I had tried previously because it spit out randomly, like a perver...Read more

Was excited to try this from the great reviews on amazon. This stuff is literally just moisturizer, I would not even call it a primer. It does NOT fill in my pores or any lines. That's right I paid $7...Read more

I like this primer more than I expected to. I wasn't regularly using a primer under foundation, but one day at Walgreens I tossed this into my basket without a second thought. I've since repurchased...Read more

First, I expected a thick smooth silky silicone feeling primer like the smashbox one. I prefer those because I think they work the best, minimize pores and just make skin look the best. This is a runn...Read more

It's not a terrible primer. I have combination skin and I found it sometimes made my foundation cling to dry patches (this never happened with my other primers under the same foundation). It does blur...Read more

I actually like this, I have combination skin and this works for me. I usually use silicone primers but this one is more of a cream silicone primer. It has a soft matte finish and helps control my oil...Read more

The texture of this primer is very thin which I like. I don't want to feel my base lingering for hours. I don't really think it helps my makeup stay on though. Its not too bad for the price.

This primer sucks. It doesn't do anything at all. Might as well be rubbing bare hands on my skin. Yuck.

Goes on smoothly, spreads nicely. It does keep your makeup looking fresh for a long time. Did not clog my pores. It feels like it does a "lock and load" over moisturizer which I like. Good price. ...Read more
