    This is a great product - BUT the price is ridiculous, especially since pretty much any primer out there does the exact same thing with just about the same effectiveness. This one costs $42 while the Bare Minerals equivalent is in the low $20's, and believe it or not, ELF has a pretty decent one for $6. Why pay so much for something that doesn't do any more than the lesser brands? It doesn't tapdance or read you bedtime stories. It's just a brand name.

    It is pricey, but you only need to use a teeny little bit. It made my oily, porous skin very smooth, and left my makeup smooth and long lasting as well.

    This is a great product to use under foundation to give your makeup an even finish. Foundation can seep into the pores on your face, making it look a little uneven in some areas. This product fills in pores and fine lines on your face to give you a nice, smooth canvas to work with to apply makeup. It's great. I use it everyday.

    I'm a bit on the fence with this one. I had been wanting to try this product for some time and so when I was duty free shopping recently I picked it up at a considerably cheaper price then in the store. I bought the SPF version but now I think maybe that was not necessary as my foundation has a good SPF itself. This product certainly feels like it is doing something amazing for me. It slips on and leaves the skin feeling really smooth for a while. I do think my foundation goes on easier with it. However, it really doesn't hide any lines and since I use a powder with some iridescence I don't really think it contributes to a brighter look. Considering that this adds an extra step to your morning (I use moisturizer and foundation as well) and considering the retail price, I think I would pass on this product next time.

    I love the way the product glides on your skin, smoothing out imperfections (and fine lines to a limited extent). Foundation goes on smooth and evenly. I would recommend this to anyone, but it is pricey!
