    I wasn't expecting much considering the low price, but it did absolutely nothing. It did not accomplish any of its claims. It did not smooth. It did not prime my face. It was just a watered down liquid that didn't even make my makeup last any longer than without it.

    it's a good primer for the price and quality of drug store brands, it's a little watery but blends easily and dries pretty quickly, it's not waxy but primes well. Good for everyday use.

    Just ok for me. It's more of a light cream primer. My make did seem to set ok. I have used better primers and I have used worse. Did not change colour of foundation or concealer. No smell and left skin feeling normal. Was cheap.

    I mainly bought this because of how amazing it feels on my skin. I was so obsessed with it I hardly even cared if it worked on my skin so long as I could start my day smoothing this stuff on my face. I didn't realize until I tried to use it with my makeup exactly how little my pores already are, which meant it didnt have much of an affect on me. It did make me look a little more airbrushed, but the effect was not as dramatic as it was when I tested it on my hand at the store. I don't like the consistency of it before it's blended, mostly because it is easy to drop and a little harder to blend. However, I used it on my sister who has really visible pores, and it had a better effect on her. I am still not sure how I feel about this product as a pore minimizer even after several uses, but overall, I would recommend it as a very quality primer as it works great for the longevity of your makeup.

    I love love LOVE this primer! I have bad skin problems and this is perfect! At first I thought it's weird it said you can wear without foundation or concealer but it's true! I put this on on my face looks so smooth and clear it's amazing! Still confused as to how something can be so good!

    Also sorry if this added twice, I hit add review and it was still here :o

    For a primer, the price wasn't that bad. But now I know why it's priced low because of the quality of the product. I didn't really see any difference with or without this primer on. The primer liquid is very metallic and smells like sunscreen. The packaging claims that it supposedly evens out skin tone, but I didn't really see any difference. Maybe this product just didn't work out for me, maybe it will work out for others. Personally I would invest in getting a higher quality primer.

    I was curious to try this primer as it was only $3.99 and thought it can't possibly work at that price point, like come on is this joke?
    I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't complete garbage although i don't plan on making this my go-to primer.
    it goes on fairly smoothly and blends in well. Applying your foundation is the tricky part because if you don't let this fully absorb and blend into your skin this is where you're going to run into trouble. Also some foundations just don't seem to want to stay on top of this primer.... which can be frustrating. Thankfully My Maybelline Fit Me foundation went nicely over top of it and I found that the primer did help maintain my makeup through out the day keeping it fresh for longer.
    Like I said .... This is NOT my go-to primer but i a pinch, it's a hell of a steal.
