Review updated 04/29/25: Now that I have gotten used to this primer, I really like it. It is thicker than the other Milani primer that I was accustomed to, so it actually also serves as a foundation of sorts. It leaves the skin looking smooth, with a healthy glow.Previous review: It's OK, but thicker than the Milani primer I was "in love" with. However, I couldn't buy the one I liked because when I called Milani, I was told that it's for oily skin, and I have dry skin. The one I liked was very light and felt like silk; it came in the black tube and the gel was pinkish.NOTE: I'm a woman and my son purchased the product for me on his AmazonU account, so I'm writing the review here.

Long lasting, goes on smooth and easy. It’s my favorite primer by far.

Helps a little to brignten lips, but doesn't work well under eye shadow, or on eyelids at all

I’ve been looking for a primer for my huge pores & super oily skin for years and blind bought this because of the reviews. This is and will be my new go to

For the price of this primer, you get a terrific bargain, in my opinion. The primer goes on silky smooth and doesn’t feel tacky. Foundation spreads across it beautifully and leaves my large pores looking nearly invisible. It also improves my fine lines and crows feet. I discovered this brand when looking for good wedding makeup when my daughter got married. I have used it ever since.
