Great for oily skin!
This is one of the top drugstore primers that I have used. It created a matte finish to my skin and helped my foundation glide on. I used this for my sister's wedding. Since I was a bridesmaid and there was a professional photographer, I was impressed on how well my makeup lasted throughout the day. I highly recommend this!!! — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

In the middle
Unlike a regular primer, this one is thicker than I'm used to so I found myself using more than I wanted to. It didn't exactly blend the way I would have liked it to; I noticed some streaks left over, I had to make sure it wasn't showing too much. Once it was on, however, I was fine with it. I have very oily skin so after about 2-3 hours I have to remove oil and re-apply sometimes, but this actually held in place for almost the entire work day. I will continue to use it to see how I feel but right now I'm in the middle about it. — 2 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 6 of 6 people said helpful

Wow!!
i LOVE this primer! i have no complaints about the product itself, it makes my face feel perfect before i apply my foundation, its not at all oily or greasy like other primers, it makes my small pores completely disappear, its amazing. The product itself is inexpensive but for what you get its ridiculous, the tub is TINY! if you use it everyday, one tub will last you approx 3 weeks depending on how much you use. but its worth it! — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 10 of 10 people said helpful

Dislike
I have several issues with this product, all of which add up to making it completely unusable to me. First off, it's so thick! I assume you're just supposed to use a tiny amount, given the very small container, but it's hard to get such a teeny bit of paste-like product to cover your entire face. Even using a little, I felt too much like I could "feel" it there. Second, it didn't set well. I have relatively oily skin, and it felt like my powder absorbed the primer, leaving nothing to help me combat shine throughout the day. I also felt that because of the fact that it stayed balmy, after a few hours, it made my foundation really visible on my skin, with a wierd texture. Last, the packaging for this stuff is ridiculously impractical. A thick paste to be scooped out of a jar? A tube would make sense. This just means a good portion of the product you pay for is going to end up under your fingernail. And speaking of paying - it's much too expensive for how much you get in the jar relative to how much you have to use. This was a waste of money. — 2 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Best primer!
I was a bit reluctant to try this because I have oily skin and wasn't sure how it would work. I was pleasantly surprised because this didn't break me out at all! It made my skin feel silky smooth and my make up lasted all day when I was wearing it. — 2 years, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful

Worth a try
I did actually like this product even though it was a little thick. I found that a little really goes a long way with this product and when I use a small amount and spread a thin layer, it does a wonderful job of evening out my skin texture without feeling too heavy, especially if I moisturize first. I also find that it's quite build-able so you can add more as needed. I have used Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer and MAC's Primer and I liked Smashbox's primer a tiny bit better just because it feels lighter but in terms of how well it works there is not really a huge difference between the three for me. So if you are looking to save some cash, definitely try out L'Oreal's base. — 2 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

it's ok
i like this primer but it's not my favorite. PROS: makes skin smooth, keeps makeup in place, silky consistency CONS: it's very thick, doesn't glide on easily, and for $13 you don't get a lot of product. I'd rather spend twice as much at a department store and get 3x amount of product. — 1 year, 10 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

This!
Ladies! Let me just start by saying this is not the primer I wanted. I went to the store with the intention on buying Revlon PhotoReady Primer but three stores later they were all out. So, I settled on the L'oreal Studio Secrets. I was really blown away! Firstly the price was cheaper, secondly it held my entire makeup application in place. Initially, I thought the cream was a little thick, which scared me because I have combination skin (mainly an oily t-zone). But, hours later, I did not have to blot or re-apply any of my makeup. This is such an awesome product and I'm happy I "settled" on it. LOL! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. (I'm wearing the primer in my current profile picture.) — 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

not for me
very thick, and doesn't blend easily. jar is a pain, I'd prefer a pump (altho, then the primer wouldn't come out due to its thickness). i wouldn't buy this again. — 1 month, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
