Summary: Love this!
Comment: I have used other primers but this is the one I'll buy again and again. I'm 53 and this product makes my skin so smooth and soft. I use it alone or with foundation.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent product for women over 35
Comment: I love this primer. I am in my late 30s and found in the past few years that any kind of makeup, liquid or powder, tends to settle in the fine lines around my eyes, making me look older. I started using this primer and that completely solved my problem. When I use it, I get constant comments about how radiant and young my skin looks. If I had used this when I was younger (and my skin was oilier) I am sure I would have broken out. Also, you only need a tiny amount, so the bottle lasts for months. Highly recommended for women over 35!

Summary: Wish I could love it
Comment: But it makes me break out.
The product feels like it contains silicone. I prefer Laura Merciers primer that doesn't give that plastic-y feel and doesn't make me break out.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Pretty good, but ... :-l
Comment: Don't get me wrong - I do like this product, but I don't know how absolutely necessary it really is. It feels nice when you apply it (initially liquid like that turns to a light powder feel), and you can sense that it is 'perfecting' your skin to begin foundation application, but any good that it really does is certainly only temporary and I personally believe that if your skin is scrubed and smooth and moisturised, then you probably don't need a product like this. Even in the hotter weather, I didn't find that this kept my make-up on any longer than it normally would have, but it 'appeared' to give it a slightly more polished look and admittedly, it helps your make-up go on smoother.
Overall, I like this product (I LOVE the way it feels on the skin), but I don't think I'd necessarily purchase another bottle when the difference it makes to my make-up is so minimal.

Summary: Creates a canvas for makeup
Comment: I like to have a primer, specifically for the reason that it seems to make my makeup last longer, and eliminates the need for as much foundation. I've been using this primer for a fair amount of time and am very pleased with the results.
First off, a small pump, approximately the size of a pea, is more than adequate to provide coverage. It is my final step of skin preparation (after cleansing, moisturing, sun-screening) before make-up application. You don't have to wait for it to absorb. I imagine it would work well with a liquid foundation, although I use powdered mineral foundation, and it works wonderfully in conjunction. This primer fills in any wrinkles, thus allowing foundation to go on seamlessly, making skin look radiant and fabulous.
My skin is not prone to break-outs, so I have no irritation with this Primer. However, it does contain oil. I think that I may be inclined to get the oil-free primer next time. The oil can leave fingers with a slight oily feeling. But overall, I'm very pleased.
