My holy grail primer is Smashbox Photo Finish original. Costco had this and I wanted to give it a try. I did Smashbox on one side of my face. Laura Mericer on the other side. I like the slight pin...Read more

Yipe. This was a free sample and I tried it out this morning. The primer went over The Ordinary 2.5% BHA and Olay day moisturizer with SPF. Right away I had misgivings--it didn't have much slip at al...Read more

After finishing a deluxe sample of this primer, I must say that I don't really care for it. It didn't seem to work that well, and it smelled bad. Maybe I got a bad batch, but I didn't like the product...Read more

This is the first primer I've ever owned, and I never realised how terrible it was until I branched out to other products. Does it prolong makeup wear? No. Does it create a smooth canvas? No. Does it...Read more

Best primer I have tried! I have the oil free one as I have oily skin but gives me foundation longer wear and hold. Recommend it!

Nothing special about this primer as far as I could tell, and the staying power isn't great. But it didn't break me out and plays well with the tinted moisturizer.

I'm a big fan of Laura Mercier products but not this one. I don't wear foundation make-up every day, so that might have something to do with the problems I've had with this product. The first time I...Read more

I have combination skin with a rather oily t-zone. For that reason, primers have been a no-go for me, as everything, and I mean everything, makes my t-zone more oily. Some primers have also managed to...Read more

I think this primer is just kind of average, unless you are buying the radiance primer. This is definitely a step up from Smashbox primers, which I tried to love, but just could not live up to expect...Read more

I appear to be in the minority that finds this underwhelming. It has a nice texture and blends well. However, I saw no difference in appearance vs using no primer.
