I LIKE THIS PRIMER VERY MUCH...THIS PRIMER IS GREAT IF U WANT TO USE LESS OF FOUNDATION BECAUSE IT MAKES YOUR FOUNDATION BLEND EASILY AND STAY WHOLE DAY... THIS PRIMER IS OIL-FREE...HOWEVER, SOMETIMES I FIND MY FACE SHINY... SO THAT IS WAY I GAVE 4 STARS... BESIDE THAT IT IS REALLY GOOD PRODUCT AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE SO OILY SKIN AS MINE, YOU WOULD LOVE THIS. :)))
I was highly recommended by my girlfriends to use this product. They loved it, I tried it, and it was just OK. I didn't notice a difference when I applied on makeup and didn't notice the difference with how long my makeup lasted. After I used finished using the tube, I didn't purchase another one. I have heard and read great reviews about this product, but in the end, for me, it just didn't work.
I don't know how I survived before this product was invented! It is definitely a must before applying your foundation!

Great Product

I had not used a foundation primer until I started using Laura Mercier. I really enjoy this product and that it helps my foundation look fresh all day long. I have oily skin and this product makes a huge difference.
Tried the regular primer with the tinted oil free moisturizer. Bad idea. Slip & slide effect. Think of water & oil...they don't mix. Tried the oil free and found the perfect combo. Keeps my TM in its place for the day. Remember to blot your face with a tissue to remove excess moisturizer before applying your flawless face.

Makes face feel so smooth and creates a perfect canvas for make-up wear that lasts all day! Love the primer! Being in Texas, the oil-free is the way to go!!
i have had bad acne all my life .. this primer makes my skin look absolutely amazing!!! i never thought it would have such an effect on my skin. the first day i wore it i went to the salon to get my hair done and my stylist told me i have the most beautiful porcelain skin.. Words ive never heard in my life! This will now be a staple in my everyday life from now on! FABULOUS PRODUCT!
Attributes: Effective, Cleans Easily, Long Lasting
I heard great reviews about this product, so i bought it since last summer. I have combination skin, but i tend to get really super oily after an hr. So my make up looks greasy throught out the day, however, after applying this, it did extend the time to make my makeup look fresh it does feel really light. AND it does really make a difference for letting my makeup stay for a long time.
I have tried many brands and this is the BEST Primer I have ever purchased! Creates a perfect canvas to build from. Makes my skin feel soft and smooth.
Attributes: Mistake-proof Application, controls shine, matte finish, camouflages large pores
I use this on my oiliest bridal clients and it keeps them matte (but not flat) all day and night. It controls the shine but doesn't overdry. Also does a very nice job filling large pores.
I do wear this daily under my Oil-Free Tinted Moisturizer, but I also wear this on days when I don't plan to wear any makeup at all! This is a luxurious lightweight moisturizer that keeps my combination skin perfectly balanced and fresh looking. I must be on my fourth tube...and as for providing a barrier between skin and makeup: I can't remember when the last time was that I got a breakout since I started using this. This is a must in my beauty arsenal...

I tend to have oily skin in the "t-zone" area. i have had problems with finding foundation or a tinted moisturizer to actually stay on. and finally this product actually works! I love it and use it everyday. It goes on smoothly and which fives you a little coolness. perfect for the price & amount.
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application, Cleans Easily, light on skin
This primer works excellent for my combination skin. I love that it's oil-free, so that it doesn't give me a greasy feel on my face. It also does not feel heavy and overbearing on my face, which I love. A little goes a long way and I think that this is well worth the price considering the amount of product you receive and how little it takes for full coverage. It helps to keep my makeup long-lasting and no other product does a better job that Laura Mercier's primer. This product is perfect for me and definitely is going to be added to my list of Holy Grail products!!
used it on my wedding day for the first time and it kept me shine-free all day. i don't use this every day since i don't wear foundation every day, but whenever i have a special event, i use it and it keeps my make-up grounded so i can enjoy myself.
This primer is wonderful. It leaves you face smooth and ready to accept foundation.

My Favorite Oil Free Primer
PostedDecember 8, 2009
Attributes: Effective, Mistake-proof Application
I tend to have oily skin, especially in the "t-zone" area. In the past I have also had problems with finding foundation or a tinted moisturizer to actually stay on and not leave a flaky residue. This product actually works! I love it and use it everyday. It only requires just a dab to cover your entire face. It goes on smoothly and feels a little cool. It is a little pricey, but for the amount you get, this tube will last you a long time!
Once you use this foundation primer, you can never live without it. It goes on smooth and easy. Helps to create a smooth base for the rest of your makeup application.
This primer is the best I have ever used!!! I have recommended this product to all of my friends. Thank you Laura Mercier for this primer. It has not only helped my make-up stay on all day long, it makes my Laura Mercier foundation going on easy and flawless. I love it!!!
