    Oh my gosh... I received this primer as a sample from Smashbox. It is amazing. My face felt silky smooth when I applied it. I have never had any kind of cream or primer make my face feel so wonderful.

    I've heard amazing things about this primer but I can't say that my experience was that good. The primer does make a nice base for your makeup but it dried my skin out, especially around the nose. I found this odd because my skin isn't dry.. it's super oily. I'm not sure if this is just something that happens to a few people with a specific skin type, but I know another person who experienced the same thing I did. It's an expensive product and the results aren't magnificent. There are less expensive primers available that do a better job.

    This is also another primer that I adore. I ordered it through QVC not too long ago. It is pricey, but a dab is all you need. It covers great.

    I like this primer because when I use it, I can actually feel and see the difference in my makeup application and longevity. The only thing I'm not a fan of is this price. I tend to buy it when Sephora has a 241 deal or sale on jumbo sized cosmetics.

    This is a great product from Smashbox! This primer is amazing, it feels like silk going on your face and smooths out your skin so it looks great. It also makes the surface of your skin so soft and smooth that your foundation sits on your face instead of sinking into any lines or wrinkles.
    This product does exactly what it says it does and I highly recommend it!

    I can't recall how I got started on Primer's but probably from the cosmetics women at Shoppers, who seem to always point me in the right direction (or the very least, the ones at my local store do). It adds that touch of longevity to foundation, or in my case tinted moisturizer. Makes you look good when going out sans coverage or if you opt for just powder gives it something to stick to. The only issue is the price is higher than i'd like to pay.

    Smashbox claims that this primer helps blur out any pores and fine lines to create a smooth surface for foundation. After using this primer for a year or so I think they stay true to that claim. A little bit of this goes a long way and it makes the skin feel really smooth and silky. It is a bit pricey but it does it's job well. The reason I would hesitate to repurchase this would be the price and the fact that it doesn't help keep me shine free especially in my t-zone. If you're looking for a primer that helps blur out pores/fine lines and don't mind silicone being in the product, I think this would make a decent primer. However, I think there are numerous primers out there that are cheaper and work just as well with added benefits of keeping skin matte.
