    This primer is really good for dry skin

    My skin is very dry , someone at beauty butiqe suggested me this primer and I loved it. I always recommend this to my friends . I just need a bit for all of my face and back.

    Not my favorite.

    I tried this product and it was just alright. I'm not a huge fan of it for its expensive price. I found that it left my face feeling really greasy and makes for a cakey feeling when I applied my foundation & power. I would recommend that someone with dry skin use this product, not someone with oily skin.

    Nah

    I had really high hopes for this but it didn't really work for my skin. I have combination/oily skin but it didn't do anything for my pores or help to make my makeup last longer.

    Must have

    I didn't believe in primers until I found this one. It stays on and makes my skin look great under my foundation. My foundation sticks to it so it's effective. It's a must have in every makeup kit!

    Secret to long lasting makeup

    I’ve purchased many bottles of the Smashbox Primer. Not only does it fill in your pores and smoothen out your face but it also increases your foundations wear time!

    First time ever using a primer as I never really understood the point, after using this and putting maybe half my face of foundation on I yelled at my husband "how have a lived this long without this!" It's amazing. And my make up lasted all day long, and when I removed my makeup my face was so soft and hydrated! IT DIDN'T DRY MY FACE! this is huge news. buy it!

    This primer has a nice lightweight gel consistency that is very easy to apply. It creates a nice smooth surface on the skin, making make-up application effortless. It did help to minimize the appearance of my pores and extend the life my make-up. It also helped to keep my face from looking shiny. However, having dry skin, I wish this primer was more hydrating. I'm glad I was able to get several deluxe size samples as the price is steep.

    Okay, once you get past the initial price of this primer it is amazing! The price through me a bit, but honestly its worth ever penny! First off it creates a beautiful finish and goes on so nicely. It literally lasts forever which is lovely too. Smashbox is my go to makeup company, saying this I have tried multiple other kinds of makeup. There is a very good reason this is the best. Absolutely, splurge and do something good for your skin!

    I love this. It goes on smoothly and is not hard (the stuff itself, thus is basically a gel) like other primers. Definitely smooths out the wrinkles I may or may not have ;) Feels nice on the skin.
