    good for summer

    Perfect for the summertime in Texas when I sweat and ooze oil in equal amounts. At first I didn't realize what it meant by light, I thought I'd grabbed a light tinted primer not realizing this wasn't the standard Photo Finish formula. Once I tried it though, I was extremely pleased! It kept my makeup in place (though to be honest, not as well as the original formula) and gave my skin a smooth, even finish. For some reason, since i started using this one, my Nars Orga$m Illuminator seems to have more twinkle to it. I like that I can use it in the hotter months and not feel a heaviness on my face- this is the perfect happy medium for me. When using this, I'd recommend keeping some blotting papers (or just toilet paper, for that matter) around to absorb any oil that peeks out without weighing your skin down. — 6 months, 3 weeks ago

    Not for those with "TRUE SENSITIVE" skin

    If your like me and you have true sensitive skin then this is a big NO NO! It has several ingredients that are known irritants! I have ultra sensitive skin and this leaves little bumps all over my face and leaves my chin nice and RED! Other then that I liked how, before bumps popped up, it made my skin feel and the way my makeup looked. Too bad it's got those irritants in it!:( — 11 months, 2 weeks ago

    not as nice as the original!

    This stuff doesn't give me the same silkiness as the original photo finish, which I was willing to accept if it would not break out my skin. What I can't deal with is this stuff not working! It seems like it makes my face even shinier, and that's only if I can get it on my skin in the first place. Most of the time, it pills and rolls off my (clean, lightly moisturized) face as I try to rub it in. Waste of money for me! — 1 year, 1 month ago

    Love it!

    I love this primer. It has a super nice texture and is super light weight. It leaves my skin feeling crazy smooth and makes my makeup go on extra nice. I have really oily skin and this primer controls the oil on my face for hours. Also a great product for sensitive skin as well, It doesn't make me break out like some other primers do. Definitely a keeper. — 1 year, 3 months ago

    Review subject

    I am addicted to how this primer makes my skin feel, it makes it so soft. It helps the foundation go on smoother and helps hide my pores a bit as well. — 1 year, 4 months ago

    great primer

    This primer is AMAZING on people with oily skin. It definitely keeps my oily skin under control and it doesn't feel like silicone is being applied all over my face. I don't think it makes my make up last longer though. — 1 year, 5 months ago

    Amazing

    I have shine control issues and this product takes care of the shine and so much more! It helps to even out my skin tone and minimizes my pores. As amazing that it is there are 2 drawbacks: (1) how expensive it is and (2) it has a slight chemical smell and feel to it. Overall, you get what you pay for!!! — 1 year, 6 months ago
