I should preface this by saying it's my first time using a primer, which is weird because I love makeup. But anyway I agree with other reviewers that the product feels amazing and silky on the skin. I agree that you don't have to use as much foundation with this primer. I disagree that it makes your pores invisible or that you should expect to be showered with compliments after using this primer. My personal opinion is I think it's like 30% better than foundation alone, but that's not based on longevity; it is based on the appearance of my makeup after applying the primer. Since I've also been using a setting spray as well, I can't say how much this primer affects makeup longevity.

This was my first time trying this brand/type of primer and I love it. It blurs my poors, my makeup sticks to my skin longer and it leaves my skin feeling silky. I have super sensitive skin and this doesnt irritate me at all. It is a bit on the pricy side, but I will definitely purchase this again. Finding products that dont irritate my skin is difficult.

This is not the first time I've used the primer and I really love it. A little bit goes a long way. My foundation stays on all day. Definitely recommend.

Amazing for oily skin! I get oily throughout the day but this keeps my face makeup good all day! It is smaller (travel size) but after trying it I bought a full size!

Best primer I’ve ever used. Not greasy. Not sticky. Smooth finish.

I should have looked at the amount in this product. Disappointed that it's at least a 1oz. It's not even half....34 for 16 is a ripoff.

I highly recommend this product! I use it daily as it is easy to use and provides great lasting wear. My photo is a day that I had my makeup on for 8 hours and we had been in a theme park all day on a warm day!
