Not for me!

I found a sample of this kicking around my makeup case--it must have come in one of my orders and I forgot about it! So I tried using it for most of last week. It goes on smoothly (as any primer should) and I didn't notice any unpleasant smells or anything. I would say it worked as well as anything else (that is to say, not all that well) at reducing shine on my face throughout the day. The main r...read moreeason I have to rate it so low is that it caused me to break out. Not a lot, but definitely noticeably. And it was definitely this product causing it because the breakouts stopped as soon as I discontinued use. I would say give this a try if you want, since it seems like other people love it--but hang on to your receipt for the first week, because you may need to return it.

Skin So Flawless!

The first time I tried this on, I noticed that it had a very lotion-like consistency due to which I felt like it wouldn't work very well. After application though (I wait for at least a minute or two for the primer to set), it smoothed out my skin surface very well, ready for any foundation application. I tested it with both powder and liquid types and the foundations applied so smoothly! I like t...read moreesting products to see how far I can multi-task with them. I tried this on my eyelids and it works like a charm, no eyeshadow creasing at all. This primer does help mattify the skin, which I found to be helpful for my oily skin. I have this in a sample size which is roughly thumb sized. I have owned this for 2 months now and there's still more than half remaining (I don't use makeup every day, only a couple times during the week, especially on bad skin days). As far as scent goes, I think that it is neutral, fragrance-free. This primer is one of my first few Sephora products and I love it!

Great product

I just got this recently as one of my samples in a Sephora order. I have been pretty happy with all the products in the Sephora brand. This is one of the best primers I have ever used. It beats all the top brands as far as I am concerned and I am sure it is far more affordable. It goes on very smoothly and with no feeling of stickiness, residue or any other unsavory sensation. It completely di...read moresappears into your skin. It is a fabulous mattifier as well. It lasts the entire day and I do not feel the need to use blotting papers or powder to blot any extra oil. I have a real problem with the finding the right products for my skin that do not contribute to extra shine and I give this one an A plus. It only requires a small amount to cover your entire face. I applied it after my serum and moisturizer. I have tried it with different moisturizers to see if there was any change in quality of the staying power and it did not seem to matter. I also have skin that is quite sensitive and there have been a couple of product lines that did not set well with me and broke out my skin. This one is not one of those - I feel that my skin actually looks better during and after use. I have not actually applied this to my eyelids but perhaps it would stand in for another primer that is exclusively for eyes since that is my biggest problem area. Based on the ingredient list I think that would be more than acceptable. I also noted that my makeup (I use mineral powder) went on completely smoothly and did not streak or cake at all. Great product.

love this stuff

I have been using this foundation for two months. a little goes a long way. I also use it without make up on days I don't put on make up. helps keep oil at bay. I highly recommend this product to everyone looking for a great primer. it is pricey but if you order from sephora you also get beauty points,and free samples,especially if you use the codes.
