Foundation Primer is a lightweight, creamy gel meant to be used prior to foundation, creating an invisible layer that acts as a buffer to outside elements.

Well--yes this is a PRIMER for your foundation for sure--and it's glorious in that function. Subsequently after using this--even the first time my skin was super soft and the texture and pores seemed even more minimized. I was in awe. My skin feels/looks fabulous--fresh/awake--hard to explain. I like this and the hydrating Primer as well! New to LM but devoted after buying this and the Silk Creme Foundation for my 45th B.Day!
When using this product you should dab a little bit on and then smear it in with your finger or a makeup brush. This product works well and is easy to take off.
I work long days and don't carry a makeup kit in my purse. This foundation primer helps keep any foundations I've used ON for a full day (often even through the gym!). It's easy to apply and does not irritate my (very sensitive) skin. A little goes a long way, so this tube is several months' supply--well worth the cost. The only drawback I have noticed is that my foundation seems to sit on top of the primer and comes off on glasses/tissues/phones more easily. That's easy to correct-use a little less product!
I love using this product under my tinted moisturizer. This additional layer helps give me that great complexion and seems to help the moisturizer provide an even better coverage.

This product is a beauty miracle for me.

Attributes: Mistake-proof Application, Effective, silky and smooth finish
Who knew that silky, smooth finish was mineral based? I didn't and neither did some good sales ladies. This mineral primer is a complexion smoother which I needed and it works. I received it once as a sample in store, fell in love with it and then could not remember what it was and so I searched for a long time before finding.
Laura has the market for this product and I am looking forward to using her other mineral products in conjunction with this. Yeh!
Laura Mercier's primers are essential to really achieving the flawless face. The formula blurs any skin issues, like fine lines and large pores, to help create a smoother canvas for any base makeup. Tinted moisturizers and foundations apply easily and blend out seamlessly while lasting even longer.
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily, feels great on skin
At first I did not use the primer when I got free sample. BUT, as soon as I started using everyday I DID NOTICE it worked very well & ALSO my skin seemed better! Great double duty!!
I am now on a hunt for the best foundation primer out in the market and this ie one of the best out there! I bought the oil-free foundation primer during last year summer and it works great! You can defenitely tell if you did not use the primer under the makeup. I got this one as a sample size during the winter and i love it! Since summer is coming, im gonna be using the oil free version again! :)

This product makes my face not oily and not dry also. It really help me to apply my foundation.
I love love, love this product. Recently I had a financial setback and could not afford to purchase the primer. I instantly noticed the difference between using the primer and not using it. I hope I don't have to ever go without it again.
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily, works
Working 16 hour shifts, this primer keeps the moisture in my skin and keeps my makeup put. Bad weather, good weather, it doesn't seem to matter. It feel wonderful and I keep it on stock.
I am not sure this really does much, but it feels nice on the skin.

I switched from the oil-free primer to this one because this foundation primer is a gel and doesn't feel oily at all.
If you've been using the tinted moisturizer without the primer, you must try the primer! I don't like to deal with a lot of separate steps, but I always use the primer because the tinted moisturizer stays on better and looks better with this.

Definitely the best product on this site. This primer keeps my foundation from fading especially in problem areas like under eye circles.
