Disappointing holding power
-05.03.13
I liked how this primer started out. Initially it made my foundation look great. But by the end of the day I found that the foundation was easy to smudge. It seemed to be sitting on top of the skin too much, so that if I touched my skin the makeup would rub off more than I like. I have combination skin, so it's difficult to find a primer that really works to keep the oil away and still look great at the end of the day. So far I've found the Hourglass primer works best for me.

Fine lines bye-bye!!
-04.25.13
Quick Take: perfecting
I use this product around my lips, the outer corners of my eyes and on my forehead where I have noticed fine lines developing. Immediately after application the lines diminish very very noticeably! I am so impressed with this product that I have purchased it for my mother as well and I cannot wait to hear what she thinks of it! And its price makes it truly a bargain!

Not worth it...
-04.20.13
This product feels nice on the skin but I noticed that throughout the day it made my skin look greasy. Also, the pore minimizing/smoothing over effect of this wears off in the first 10-15 minutes of wearing it. I returned this because the product simply doesn't justify the price as it didn't help prolong the wear time of my makeup or make applying it any easier or better.

Fluffy
-04.20.13
Quick Take: moisturizing
I got this as a sample. It looked too moisterizing for my oily skin, so I just used it on my eyes. Very nice. Feels soft, has an almost "fluffy" feel.

Perfect Prep for Under Eyes
-04.14.13
This primer goes on smoothly and instantly evens out my under eye area. I can apply a nice highlighter/illuminator to brighten the area without worrying about it creasing in fine lines. I definitely recommend at least trying this product in stores, I saw instant results.

Best Primer
-04.13.13
Quick Take: silky lasts a long time bargain for the price
I have tried many primers and found them heavy and have had to use a lot to cover. This primer is silky, applies easily and I only have to use a dab to cover my entire face. My makeup glides on effortlessly afterwards and stays all day and into the evening. LOVE this. Worth the price.

Love it except...
-04.08.13
I really like this as a primer. It minimizes fine lines, wrinkles, and pores like no other! I've tried many, many primers and this is the best so far. However, I have noticed that it tends to break me out so I dont use it as my every day primer.

Like A Cashmere Sweater for Your Face
-04.04.13
Quick Take: smooth, silky
This primer feels very luxurious. It makes my skin smooth and uniform. My face is softer than ever and it creates an even canvas for make-up. I wear it under make-up or alone. You only need a small amount. Will definitely repurchase.

I don't get it
-03.28.13
Quick Take: ineffective
I bought based on the recommendations thinking it would transform my face and replace my primer. It did nothing for me. My face looked exactly the same before and after. It also did not hold my makeup and made it melt away faster than normal. Product seemed too greasy and didn't really absorb into my skin. Sending it back.

Quick Take: smooth, silky, putty-like
I got this in a sample and liked it so much that I ended up buying a full-size version. It really smooths out my skin and makes acne marks less visible.

When I apply this my skin feels so much smoother. I can apply this by itself and my skin looks better and I can't feel it on my skin. It also doesn't make me breakout.

Hooked after a sample.
-03.01.13
I received a sample in a bib gift and I am in love. I use on my forehead wrinkles and down the bridge of nose (larger pores), or anywhere I need "smoothed." I LOVE this stuff! I will be purchasing again.
