    Omg, You have to put this on before you put on your foundation or concelar! amazing!! Theres no imperfections!!! Love it!! Yay!! lol
    The formula is 100% oil-free, fragrance-free, non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic — meaning it doesn’t clog pores or lead to breakouts (yay!).

    The base makes your skin look flawless even before you put on your makeup. Plus, it helps your makeup to stay in place all day long. And with summer around the corner, it may just be my new little secret to keep my makeup from melting! Awesome find, GIRLS! You must buy this.trust me! xoxox

    This primer is Great :) It makes your pores disappear and reduces your fine lines ! ( I don't have a lot of pores nor fine lines but still :P ) It makes your makeup last longer and makes your skin feel so smooth :) Your foundation will glide on like a dream :) However, I have heard people complain about they're skin looking oily after a while, so I don't think that this primer is great for oily skins. I think it's better for Normal skin and maybe combination ? One thing I hate about this product is THA PRICE ! OMG! It's 15$ :O It's drugstore man ! ( but don't get me wrong, the quality is definitely HIGH END ) but still, drugstores should have drugstore prices haha ! Thank god I got it on sale ^^ What else ? Um, It didn't make me break out and it didn't irritate my skin. Finally, It has everything you should want in a primer :) At least, us normal-skin-type girls :D

    I like this primer, I really do...but the price is just ridiculous! I have the Hard Candy Sheer Envy primer which feels the same and makes my skin look the same, for less than half the cost of this, and the amount in the jar is just laughable. Not impressed at all with Loreal this time.

    Hands down, this is the best primer available at any drugstore. It's safe to say that it rivals the everpopular Smashbox Photofinish primer. It goes on smoothly, has no scent, and gives you a great matte finish that helps your makeup stay put all day long.

    L’Oreal Magic Perfecting Base really is MAGIC! Although it comes in a small jar, this cream is thick and luxurious, so a little goes a long way. I am new to applying bases and will not need this product for my daily life but it will be my go to product each and every time I go out on the town to begin my makeup application. Perfect for disguising imperfections and a pure luxury to apply. I will be checking for this product to go on sale and stock up when it does cause I really like this base.

    I really love this primer! I have never purchased a primer before this, although I have used various brands before from samples. This is the only one that has ever gotten me convinced! (hence, the purchase)

    Here are the things I love about it:
    - it goes on super smooth, and has a luxurious texture
    - it instantly matifies the skin for a perfecting effect before applying foundation!
    - it is unscented, and it does not irritate my very sensitive skin
    - The price is under 15$ for a highly effective and high quality product!
    - it makes the application of foundation 10X easier and more 'perfect'

    Overall, I would recommend this product to anyone with normal, sensitive skin! :)

    This product is AMAZING! For 14.95CAD (at WalMart and Rexall) it's practically a steal for what it is. The primer is Silicone based and smooths over my uneven textured skin for a perfect base for all foundations. I use it everytime I wear a at thick foundation and it prevents me from breaking out! Totally worth it!

    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.

    When I first saw this I thought "how good could it be" - it was better than I expected. I have very odd skin - oily but dry, first wrinkles along with some pimples and this cream makes my skin smooth, poreless and as close to flawless as it has been in years! I would fully recommend this product to anyone who needs an extra bit of help either on its own or before foundation.

    I've been watching the commercials for this perfecting base for at least a month now and debating with myself whether or not to dish out $12 - $17 for a little magic.

    Well, last weekend I took the plunge and I bought L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base and I am completely satisfied with my purchase. Although I don't believe that the cream produces any miracle I do think that it does a great job prepping your skin and smoothing out small blemishes making them easier to cover. I also think it did a great job setting my make up for the day. I think my make up stayed fresher longer.

    I think the best thing about this product is the price. The cream produces similar results to some of the more expensive brands ($30 - $50). I will definitely buy this cream again.
