Review 1 for Illuminating Face Primer
amazing sparkle!
-05.03.13
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing, smooth, fine to medium glitter
super sparkle punch for a small package! I can't personally use it because I'm a dude but I shared the product and everyone loved it! The packaging is crazy too looks like a million bucks!

Review 2 for Illuminating Face Primer
perfect for me
-04.11.13
Love the packaging, love the product. JUST enough luminescence to act as a highlighter. blends right in...but I only use this when I'm going for a dewy look. If I go matte, I prefer a powder highlighter. After applying my bare minerals mineral veil, the primer vanishes.

Quick Take: lightweight
I really love this product. I have sensitive skin and it isn't irritating to me at all. Plus who doesn't love a little glimmer in their life?!

I like it!
-04.09.13
Quick Take: lightweight
I really like the light reflecting irredescent softness it leaves on my skin. It seems to reflect through my powder which is great! sometimes it flakes depending on moisturizer i pair it with but overall i would get it again!

Loved it
-03.23.13
I used this primer yesterday- I use avons Cashmere foundation& I did my make up using Izak mini palette I got from Sephora for $9.I got both in the same shipment. I received so many compliments at work yesterday!! I wear make up everyday so I was a surprised anyone noticed. Everyone asked what I did different. Everyone said I just had a beautiful glow. It had to be this primer glad I purchased:)

I was excited to get this primer however it doenst show through my coverup. On its own it leaves a shimmery look on your face that I love. I wear it when I dont wear any make up. It's nice.

Returned

Does not shine thru foundation. Returned for an illuminating powder that goes over foundation.

Review 13 for Illuminating Face Primer
OK, nothing to rave about.
-01.30.13
To be honest, I purchased this because it was only $13.00 and they did not have Sugar's Twilight luminizer which I went into Sephora to buy. It is ok. Would I buy it again~no. Even if it were cheaper.

Review 14 for Illuminating Face Primer
sondrabobondra
Nice primer but why the packaging??
-01.26.13
There are two reasons I'm writing this review: The primer itself is WONDERFUL, but the packaging is completely wasteful and also makes it look like you're getting a lot more primer than you actually are. Don't be fooled; only the bottom half of the "egg" has primer in it. The rest of the plastic is infuriatingly empty and ridiculous.

Review 15 for Illuminating Face Primer
-01.12.13
Quick Take: great, good value, lasts forever
Very light, and not sticky. I use it along with the Alchemy of Color Face Palette. Which is also really great. I don't think I would have gotten them if I hadn't seen the video that Sephora posted about it. I'm so glad I got them, their great!!

Review 16 for Illuminating Face Primer
-01.08.13
I wanted this so bad! Its so shimmery and gorgeous,tiny gold and silver flecks in a lotiony comfortable creamy base that you can wear above or under makeup. I would have bought this for the rest of my life if I wasnt allergic to it. Yea it made my face turn red and get very itchy and blotchy. If anyone else doesnt have sensitive skin I say go for it. Its amazing...

Review 17 for Illuminating Face Primer
Not so Great
-01.05.13
Quick Take: completely invisible
The product felt good going on and did not leave me greasy or sticky, but it really didn't do anything either. I use Bare Minerals powder foundation, and did not notice one bit of difference with or without this primer.

Review 18 for Illuminating Face Primer
Huge disappointment
-12.29.12
Not the greatest - I was talked into this because they were out of their regular primer. So irritated with the sales guy for his recommendation. Two problems: 1.) my makeup doesn't go on smoothly, like with my regular primer and 2.) the "illumination" effect goes away as soon as you put makeup on over it. Waste of money. Get a regular primer.

Review 19 for Illuminating Face Primer
Nahaexp
Allergic to shimmer
-12.13.12
My skin used to break out a lot and never understood why even at 22, my skin would go wild like a hormonal pre teen's face. I recently discovered that I am allergic to shellfish and did not realize until I tried out this "primer" that I probably shouldn't apply shimmery cream on my face either. I haven't eaten shellfish in a while and my face was completely clear until I used this product and witnessed the same exact reaction on my face. No more shimmer or shellfish for me unfortunately. Also, the texture of this product is not smooth and does not apply evenly.
