A little more watery than needed

I'm new to using primer and this was my first time purchasing it.
I loved how smooth my makeup was after the application of the primer. It was pretty watery however, when compared with a friend's brand (Younique). The friend's primer did better and added even more smoothness.
Quo is cheaper, substantially and does the trick. It's way better to use it than go without anyprimer but there are better brands out there, just in a higher price bracket
