Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, long-lasting
I have always been a drug store make-up person. However, taking a chance on going into a Sephora for the first time this year has been a wonderful experience. This product is amazing. I put on my face cream after I wash my face, let it dry a bit, put on this primer mostly in T-zone and a little bit on cheeks, let it dry, then Sephora foundation. Now, I maybe touch up my face with powder twice a day. Previously I would do it multiple times per day. I look and feel good. Thank you.

Love Love Love this primer!
-06.07.13
I have always had an issue with my makeup melting off only a few hours into the day. I even spent upwards of $50-60 on a single bottle of primer... until I found this one. I will NEVER purchase a different primer. My foundation only costs two bucks... it's the only one I have found that doesn't break me out. This primer keeps it on! You won't be disappointed.

Quick Take: fast-absorbing, long lasting
I'm so glad I made the right choice! While doing online research for primers I learned that the silicone based ones were more than likely to pill (disperse into little balls) on dry skin. So when I walked into Sephora for my birthday shopping spree I was glad to have found this. I wore it under my foundation the next day and it lasted a full eight hours even withstanding the normal oxidation that I usually deal with, with my foundations. I loved the way it sinked into my skin within 5 minutes of having it on and I could see and feel the difference. I absolutely love this primer it is quickly becoming a holy grail product and I can't wait to see how it holds up during the rest of the summer.

Quick Take: fast-absorbing
I ended up returning it. Didn't really do much for making my makeup last any longer. It kind of made my foundation glob up in places (glob is the only word I can think of to describe it). On the plus side, it isn't greasy and it absorbs pretty fast.

Quick Take: lightweight
With primers that don't contain silicone, it's hard to tell if they're doing much. I used this primer with my Make Up Forever HD foundation and it definitely made a difference in the appearance. A very smooth finish!

Not for oily girls!
-04.26.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I have VERY oily skin. Unfortunately silicone based products break me out badly. I tried this and it doesn't do a SINGLE thing to control my oil or stop creasing (I have a dimple that I always get creasing in with foundation). If you're a very oily skin type (even with normal primer AND powder oily within an hour) I don't recommend.

It did its job
-02.16.13
I used it once and it lasted all day but I went back into sephora a few days later and tried Hourglass and loved it! So I took the sephora primer back and exchanged it for hourglass :)

Not sure?
-01.22.13
I bought this thinking it was a good primer because it was silicone-free. I didnt read the ingredients until i got home and it says that it contains aluminum, which is used in deodrants and apparently its really bad for you.

Fantastic for being silicone and oil free!
-01.15.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, smoothing, softening
Finally, I found a silicone and oil free primer that doesn't melt off my face by lunch time. My foundation is still smooth and in place when I get home in the evenings. So far I haven't noticed it causing any acne.

Great Product wrong variety
-01.12.13
I LOVE LOVE Sephora brand primer in the ultra smoothing variety however they were out of stock. So since I needed something I bought the silicone free variety. HATE the way it makes my skin feel. Compared to the ultra smoothing it's like putting on a drying lotion. Maybe it's just my skin type??

very slippery and takes quite a bit to get enough coverage on your whole face...it's lightweight, but a little too lightweight!

Great for super sensitive skin
-01.03.13
I'm allergic to all sunscreens so finding a makeup is difficult. After many trail and errors I had gave up. My friend gave me a sample of this and I decided to try it. It was amazing! I was able to put moisturizer on without feeling oily and it feels so smooth. My skin wasn't at all irritated I even fell asleep with it on and my skin was fine. (Don't do that!) I apply this and then brush a loose powder over it. It evens out my skin without people knowing I have makeup on.
