A friend of mine had her makeup done for her when she got married a couple of years ago and she was raving about this product. It took me awhile to try it because I have sensitive skin and I am always weary of tyring new products all over my face. Anyway, I am glad that I was recently talked into giving this product a try.

Likes: (1) this product makes my face feel super smooth, (2) this product works well to control shine and therefore there is no glare in pictures (a recent problem I have been having after wearing my makeup for extended periods of time), (3) this product made my foundation a lot smoother to apply and therefore it felt like my foundation was more evenly applied to my face, (4) my makeup stayed in place after being on for an entire work day...I feel as though this would be perfect for wearing on a night out at the club because it seems as though it would keep my face looking fresh throughout!

Dislikes: (1) I wish that this product came in a non heavy glass bottle so I did not have to worry about knocking it around in my bag and (2) if you are wearing a foundation like Mac's Hyper Real foundation that is supposed to give you a sunkissed glisten I find that this primer can dull that effect... (my guess is that it is because it is supposed to control oil and somehow mattifies the look of the foundation).

Anyway, having said all that, I am very glad that I gave this product a try. I will definitely use it when I need my makeup to stay in place and so I will not look all shiny in pictures! :o)

this product is a miracle. i put it on under my foundation before my 24th birthday party - where i was out for several hours and sweating - and my makeup remained totally intact! the pictures proved that my look held up with little-to-no touching up! yes, its expensive, but if you have an occasion, it cannot be skipped.
