Arbonne Virtual Illusion Makeup Primer
I bought this primer because I have a lot of foundations that I used before, when my skin was oily. Now my skin is dry and sensitive, and I didn't want to throw out my foundations. I bought this because of the high ratings here. . I have never before found a primer that I like, but this is actually really good for the purpose I bought it for. I must say: this does NOT WORK with my moisturising foundations - then they stripe, slip and n-e-v-e-r dry. BUT: with oil free foundations that are mattifying and long lasting this is great! Examples are: Double Wear from Estee Lauder, Revlon Colorstay, Guerlain Parure, MAC Pro Longwear, Clarins Everlasting Foudation - all of these foundations are for oily skin, but if you have normal or dry skin and this primer, you can wear them too! . My skin is dry and sensitive. NO foundations for oily skin would look good on me, even with a ton of moisturizer - when the moisturizer sunk in and/or evaporated during the day, the foundation made my skin look dry. But not with this! Why I want to wear foundations for oily skin? Because these foundation often have awesome staying power, which is reeeally important for me. This primer makes the foundations look so smooth, perfect and...unnotisable! Before this primer Double Wear looked horrible on me: very obvious, dried my skin out and made my face look very flat. Now it looks natural, dewey (yes! So if you don't like dewey, this may not be for you) ans doesn't dry my skin out AT ALL! It's unbelievably amazing! . My routine: wash face, moisturize, wait for moisturizer to sink in, apply under eye concealer, then this primer (I do not apply to eye area because my concealer doesn't work with it, just as moisturizing foundations don't), Wait for primer to set a little bit. Apply foundation with a sponge. I know this waists more product than brush or fingers, but I prefer this method for this primer because it's easier to achieve an even look this way. . BTW: this is the type of slippery siliconey primer, not the sticky, non-oily type like the types Dior makes, or the L'oreal one. I love this primer! I don't own it because I only wear blush and not really foundation so I didn't think it would really be worth it for me, but my friend let me use hers once. It goes on easily and it dries sooooo soft and velvety. It's actually almost worth wearing alone with out make up over it because of how it makes your skin feel. It did make my blush pop and it seemed like I didn't have to use as much to get the desired effect. I tried it on my eyelids and it really didn't do much as an eyeshadow primer...but I don't think it's really meant for that. I would definitely buy it if I wore foundation more. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 7 people said helpful

Best of the best
WOW! This primer is amazing. Is smooth, it makes your make-up last for a very, very long time. It covers those lines that make-up can't cover and I would truly recommended. My mom and I use this Arbonne primer all the time. I don't go out without it! — 2 years, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

ARBONNE!! NOTHING BETTER!!
My Sales Rep got me onto Arbonne after one demo on myself i could feel and see the difference.. All the make up Arbonne produces is natural products so its not harmful in any way to our skin. This primer is BRILLILANT makes your skin feel so soft and smooth, application of liquid and your powder last longer and dosent get an oily look after a period of time! If i had to reccomend any make up companies this would be my first choice! :-) — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Fantastic stuff!
I had been using MAC primer - which wasn't too bad. However it had a tendency to ball a bit so I decided to give the Arbonne a try. Wow! Really fabulous! I have large pores and have always wanted that perfect , flawless look. With this primer I achieve it. It goes on supersmooth, and feels light. You can even wear it alone, or put it over your foundation.Great stuff! — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

best face primer out there
This is quite simply the best primer i have ever used. It feels like silk going on and is very light. However it is no light weight when it comes to staying power. My makeup lasts until i decided to wash it off when i have this primer on. I even feel like i have more of a glow when i use it. The price has gone up but with my discount it's still a good investment. right now i'm at the bottom and using q-tips to get the rest of the product out. quality and wonderfulness! — 3 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
