not worthy

Pros: Non-Greasy

Cons: Not Effective

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: None

Age: 35-44

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: not recommended

I did not see or feel any difference. I still have to wash and reapply my makeup at midday. However, I love Iman makeup and I will continue to buy them but not this product.

Excellent!

Pros: Lightweight, Non-Greasy, Soothes Skin

Describe Yourself: Minimalist

Best Uses: Oily skin

Age: 25-34

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: recommended

I don't mind a little bit of shine so I don't use this everyday but for photos or days when I know my skin is going to look too shiny this works perfect. I have tried many primers and I can say this is the only one that doesn't make my skin look chalky. It past the ultimate test when I was in the piping hot sun one day and although I was pretty sweaty my face was still shine free - in a natural way!

Finally, a Perfect Primer!

by Product Junkie [Verified Buyer]

Pros: Does Not Clog Pores, Lightweight, Non-Greasy, Quick Dry

Cons: None

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use, Enlarged Pores, Oily skin

Age: 45-54

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: recommended

For my middle-aged, combination/oily skin, this is the ONLY primer that minimizes pores and smooths my skin, and actually reduces oil shine. ALL other primers, especially those that are made for oily skin, make my face look oily within a couple of hours. This one actually WORKS, and the price is right. It isn't sticky when dry. Mineral makeup can be applied almost immediately after applying this primer. I can barely even smell the fragrance in this product, and it's not a concern for me at all. Performance is what I'm looking for.

This made me break out!

Pros: Lightweight, Non-Greasy

While this does a decent job of controlling oil it made me break out with cystic acne. I can't use it anymore.

Worth the money

by jcbeauty [Verified Reviewer]

in Miami, FL on 9/4/09

Pros: Lightweight, Non-Greasy

Describe Yourself: Beauty Expert

Best Uses: Daily Use, Enlarged Pores, Fine Lines/Wrinkles, Uneven Skin Tone

Age: 25-34

Skin Type: Oily

Bottom Line: recommended

I always try different products to see which one fits best for me. I thought I would give this a try because the price was reasonable. This is a great buy for the money. It helps with my oily skin and gives my skin a smooth base to apply makeup. I've tried primers from Laura Mercier, Smashbox and Sephora, which didn't work well with my oily skin and large pores. Those brands seemed to clog my large pores and I had terrible breakouts. In all fairness, I used their primers specializing in extra oily skin, so maybe the consistency was thicker than the regular versions. My favorite is GloMinerals and Iman's primer is definitely comparable. It's very lightweight and helps minimize the look of pores. I would definitely recommend it. It doesn't have the greatest smell but it does the trick.

Smells bad

by Robin

Pros: Non-Greasy

Cons: Bad Smell

Describe Yourself: Minimalist

Age: 25-34

Skin Type: Combination

Bottom Line: not recommended

This works well and makes my make-up (sheer minerals) look nice and smooth; however, it smells awful - kind of like old fake tanning cream. So, even though it works well, I never use it.

Matte finish ALL DAY LONG!

by Melody

in Boston, MA on 4/21/09

Pros: Lightweight, Non-Greasy

Cons: Bad Smell

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Before foundation

Age: 25-34

Skin Type: Oily

Bottom Line: recommended

I have very oily skin, and my face gets really shiny after an hour or two and worst when I put foundation on my face. Unfortunately, I need to wear makeup everyday for job purpose, and I needed to blot the oil every 2 hours or so. This primer did great wonders though. It seriously controls oil and shine, and gives a matte finish. My makeup actually last all day, and I only need to blot the oil once halfway through the day, and still isn't that oily. This primer absorbs in no time, that I can put on foundation immediately. My only complain is that the smell is not too great. Yet, for the amazing job it did, I can tolerate the smell.

Extends the life of any makeup

by Jeanette [Verified Buyer]

in Longview, Tx. on 4/2/09

Pros: Non-Greasy, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Beauty Conscious

Best Uses: Daily Use

Age: 45-54

Skin Type: Oily

Bottom Line: recommended

This is the only face primer that I've used that is not chalky or that doesn't add additional color. It just effectively extends the life of my makeup and provides a smooth finish. It also controls the shine that has always been a problem. It is not found in any of the local stores, therefore I have to order it , but it is worth the added effort.

I have moderately oily skin in the T-zone area, and I was really excited to try this product. I see no difference when I use it. My nose is just as shiny as ever about 2 hours after putting my makeup on.
