Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, boosts skin radiance
I Love this product. Use it under Diorskin makeup and it give my face that extra moisture it needs along with a bit of highlighting. I have read reviews about the brush applicator and many do not like it but, as for me, I think it is fabulous. Initially you must turn slowly and carefully to get a feel for the amount that comes out. Once I got used to the flow into the brush applicator I was in love with it. This primer is not at all heavy or greasy, and definitely gives radiance to your face.

Picky Picky....
-04.15.13
Although I am a HUGE Dior fan, I was disappointed to find that this product made my skin itchy, probably due to the fragrance. Also that it did not make my skin glow as many of the reviews stated. I am going to stick with Clarins, they never disappoint.

overpriced and disappointing
-04.08.13
this product was recommended to me by one of the sephora associates in store, and after using it i'm pretty sure she just sold it to me because it was one of the more expensive options. it is not moisturizing at all, and worn under makeup actually makes my tired eyes wrinkles even more prominent (mind you i'm 26.. so this shouldn't even be an issue). i ended up washing my face like an hour after applying makeup and re-doing it, WITHOUT the toner .. and i looked better! product SO not worth the $$

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
i love this primer i could leave the house with just it on my face. i have used it for about 2 years. the last 2 i ordered and used seemed to have run out much more quickly than any i had ordered before. How many turns to dispense product doubled and it still didn't put out what one turn use to.Odd??? I really feel I'm getting less product...would have given a 5 star until this happened.

Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone, fast-absorbing
I go without foundation more days that I actually wear it, but even on those days I wear this primer. It makes my skin glow. Goes on smoothly and even has a light cooling / moisturizing effect on my skin. Absorbs quickly and leaves my face feeling soft. Unlike other primers that I've tried that leave me feeling like something is caked on my face and my skin can't breathe. This is refreshing to apply and makes me look awake and glowy. It's a little pricey and I'm not sure how long it will last, that will probably be the only drawback for me but for now I'm leaving it 5 stars. I bought it 3 weeks ago and have used it literally everyday which is a big deal for me so I know this will be a repurchase.

Nearly Perfect Primer
-03.19.13
Quick Take: lightweight
This is my first Sephora review. I LOVE this primer. It works like no other, holding on to makeup for dear life. The radiance is, as other reviewers have mentioned, more of an inner glow, not sparkly. I first tried using this with the Dior Airflash and then tried it with my "everyday" foundation--Shiseido's lifting foundation--and realized that it made it perform SO much better than it had, and I'd been using it with and without other primers for a while. My only complaint is the brush. I just don't find it helpful and all and think it wastes product and doesn't add to the performance of the product. Still, it is worth it and I will repurchase and repurchase. Great for eliminating shine (which I have a lot of) and keeping makeup in place. Dior, get rid of the brush!

Just ok
-03.05.13
I really liked this product when I tried it in the store, it seemed to give my skin a little radiance and luminosity. But after using it at home I realized that the effect is very short lived. My skin seems to absorb the product really fast and as soon as it does, it's like it was never there. Disappointing given the price. Still, it does look nice for about an hour, and it has a nice smell.

Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I don't hate this product but I probably won't purchase again. The application could be easier (seems to take forever to get it through the brush) and I don't feel like it works as a primer- it definitely doesn't help my makeup go on/stay on better (sticking with Smashbox!). Also felt like I needed to use a LOT of product. I DO like it as a highlighter and that is how I have been using it.

Disappointed
-02.10.13
I bought this product because of the great reviews. It claims to illuminate your complexion and make your face look less tired, so as a student doing my thesis I figured this would be a good buy. I honestly don't see a difference, but I've only used it two weeks and I think the product info says to wait four. Also its pretty expensive, not sure its worth the money.

Quick Take: very nice product!
This makeup primer is very nice. It does what it says! Leaves your face with a soft radiance, not shiny at all, just fresh looking.and diffuses imperfections.Leaves your skin smooth and supple.It is definitely a pick me-upper for tired skin. You can wear it alone or under your foundation. You won't be disappointed with your purchase. Expensive but lasts quite a while.

I love this product. the packaging (not the brush applicator) the radiance. the problem is that it makes me break out so I am going to have to return it. I have sensitive skin and have not yet found a primer that I can use.

OMG this really works. I apply my foundation then I apply the skinflash primer and then set my make-up with powder. It really makes your face glow. If sometimes I forget the step of of skinflash primer and apply my powder right away my face is soo dull compare to when I apply it. Get it you will love it.

-01.06.13
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, adds radiance
This product has a very subtle but noticeable effect. You brush it over your face, and it's as if the top layer of cells were magically smoothed out -- everything is more even and you look refreshed and younger. It's subtle, not drastic, but definitely noticeable. I bought two more immediately as soon as I tried it out, so that I won't run out soon.

The Best Primer
-01.06.13
Quick Take: lightweight, evens out skintone, fast-absorbing
This is the best primer I have ever used. And I really have tried a lot of them all from sephora. The one I was using before this was Hour Glass and this one beats it hands down. Leaves my face radiant and just looks like I have a inner glow. And isn't that what we want?? I also use Dior Skin Flash Spray Foundation with this. It's not glowy like a "metal" look glowy...it's an inner look glow. I will buy this again and again!
