Most Helpful Positive Review I don't know how I ever wore makeup without it!! This illuminator primer is fragrance-free, and goes on smoothly, even with my sensitive skin. My Double Wear makeup just glides on over it, and I wouldn't think of putting on makeup now without it. It's not greasy, really a pleasure to put on. I tried the sample and liked it so much, I bought the full product.
Most Helpful Critical Review Can make you look shiny after a while Looks great at beginning as long as you aren't heavy handed with it. Otherwise you look oily

I received this sample with my serum, and I tried next day making up. It is hydrated and very moisture, as well as gives a beautiful illuminated on my face. The foundation used after it won't cover the shining of the skin. Good product! Love it!

Step aside all other primers this is the one! 5
Seankbeauty from Austin
Step aside all other primers this is the one! If you're looking for the ideal primer this is it you cannot only is it on your face but also on your eyes to really get your eyeshadow to pop. I got this as a free gift and a purchase and I absolutely have to say that when this runs out I will be getting another one. Though I am young I use a lot of Estee Lauder's products and I absolutely love them all so you may see a lot of reviews from me. What can I say when you find some thing you love you stick with it
i didnt care for this 2
Suncakes from wa
with double wear anything this is in my humble opinion an unnecessary step and i am glad i receieved to try as a free sample. it gives a glow but on my tanned complexion i thought the sparkle appeared silver and i look better in gold. the sparkle was more glittery than i had hoped as i would have preferred mica or diamond dust. while it did give a nice smooth texture to my bare skin i purchased the sunscreen with antioxidants instead as something that does more for me for around the same amount of money and i am super pleased.
Not the best 2
A.C. from U.S.A.
Dried out my skin and then after my foundation when I went to put concealer on it would remove the foundation and literally leave a spot where I had applied the concealer and made it almost impossible to blend out. No other primer has done this so I know it isn't anything to do with my foundation or concealer.
Glitter not glow! 3
TanyaS from Northeastern US
Why does everybody say this gives them a glow? This did not give me any glow. But it did give me a glittery face! And I used it four times: once allover under cream/liquid foundation and a second time under powder foundation.... and the third and fourth time only lightly over the high points of my face, also under cream/liquid and then powder foundation In all cases the glitter was obvious. Otherwise, it's actually a decent primer. The makeup went over it smoothly, I didn't get too oily and it does not contain fragrance! Unfortunately I'll have to return this... and continue the hunt for a fragrance free radiant primer.

deedee from san antonio, texas
1st time to use a primer, what a difference,,i love how the double wear foundation applies so easily and evenly,,skin appears flawless,,i notice friends gazing,,lol. The product is not heavy or greasy, very light. I can't help but think that it is more gentle to skin than applying straight foundation.
Elegant dewy look 5
Sarah42 from Lancaster, CA
I love this illuminator primer. Since my double wear can be a bit dry during winter months, I use this primer and have a really smooth surface to apply foundation on. I also apply little bit on top of foundation for a subtle dewy look.

Not a Fan 1
Amy from CHillicothe, OH
This product is more of a moisturizer than a primer. I did a side by side with primer/no primer. There was zero difference. Please don't waste your money thinking you'll have that "radiant" look. You won't.
The Illuminator 5
Butterflies from Manhattan beach ca
I don't wear foundation at all. My skin is pretty clear for the most part and never needed to wear foundation until I ended up with a heat rash that had spread to my face. I was embarrassed by it and wanted to cover it so I knew I needed to start using foundation but wanted a primer that wouldn't make my face feel dry and look cracked. This is the best primer ever and I didn't even need foundation on top of it. My face looked flawless and I felt comfortable again even though the rash was still there the primer didn't irritate my skin further either, but covered the rash with a glow. Very happy snd very impressed. Thank you Estée Lauder ❤️
GREAT!! 5
EL4ME from Philadelphia, PA
I used this when it first came out and never bothered to reorder thinking it wasn't doing too much.
I received a sample of this primer and tried tried it the other day. I put it over my moisturizer before my Perfectionist foundation. I immediately noticed the beautiful glow under my makeup! I literally received 3 compliments on my makeup during the day! One from a complete stranger who told me how flawless my skin is at 60!!! THANK YOU ESTEE LAUDER!!!! It is all because of you!!!
Wow! 5
