The texture of the cream is ultra luxurious and velvety. It's actually a fair bit denser than most face creams I've used. It left my skin feeling soft and not greasy. The product claims it minimizes the look of pores, however I didn't see any immediate results; granted, I only had a one time use sample, so that may require multiple applications.

The smell is subtle but fresh and clean. The product packaging on the full size version is attractive, and would fit nicely in a make up drawer or vanity.

My only concern would be wearing it under make up in hot weather, as it might feel a bit heavy on the skin when first applied, however I didn't feel it once it fully set.

I am a huge believer/fan of primer-and always remained quite loyal to smashbox. However, in a pinch I picked up some of the Loreal perfecting base. I am glad I did.

This product is decent...goes on smooth. I won't say it's the best primer I have ever used but for the price, it does a great job! The things I do not like about it are

....that you have to dip your fingers into it. I like my primer in a pump or tube.
....my t-zone was still pretty shiny after applying the product, foundation, and setting powder

I haven't decided what I will use when I run out of this product-if it's on sale, I may use it again. LIke I said before, I prefer to not touch my hands to my face a lot when applying makeup (I use brush, sponge, etc). For the price, it's good!

Primers/bases are extremely important when it comes to makeup application. I like this product because it smoothes the skin, fills in any large pores, and it also seems to help get rid of slight redness in the face. I apply this over top of my moisturizer, and then I apply my foundation and it just glides on like a dream. I wasn't sure how well this was going to work out but I am happily surprised. I don't use it every single day, but it's great to have when you want to create a perfectly smooth canvas and help conceal any large pores that you have so that you can have smooth flawless skin in an instant. I definitely recommend this product. It's a great investment.

This is perfect for smoothing out skin texture so foundation glides on easily. This is a must-have for older skin or skin like mine that gets rough during the summer. Foundation "sticks" to it and glides over it making for a smooth application of foundation.
