Awful
Feels very tacky and not smooth at all. It made my foundation look waxy.

Great product
I like it. It makes the face mate and smooth and stays for like 8hrs. I don't use foundation so I can't say how it works with foundation.

Disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live the tinted moisturizer but this primer doesn’t work under it for me. The tinted moisturizer ends up pilling and blotchy in areas. Smashbox works better for me.

Nice hydration
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the way it hydrates and prepares the skin for your next step!! It leaves the skin smoother and it’s easier to apply the foundation. I recommend it!

A product to Never Forget to Apply
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There is no way that I would you a foundation or tinted moisturizer without first putting on this hydrating primer. It definitely helps my foundation/ tinted moisturizer stay looking fresh all day. My dermatologist told me that this is the primer she uses. That clinched it for me, for sure. Great product!

Primer?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never considered using primer before my makeup until I tried Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating-Original, now I use it everyday to prep my skin for long lasting makeup.
