Most Helpful Positive Review best for oily skin I got this because I used to use Spotlight. I have oily skin and the mattifying stuff I use can make me look dull. This does not make me look shiny at all and it dries to a perfectly velvet finish. It makes my skin look so good that when I went to the doctor both the doctor and nurse exclaimed that I looked amazing and asked what my secret is!
Most Helpful Critical Review Glitter not glow! 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.

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

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.

BEST primer for Double Wear Foundation 5
J in JAX from Jacksonville FL
I started wearing Double Wear foundation about a year ago. needed something that would NOT transfer. Love it, but it didn't go on well, even using a primer. I've tried 5 different primers, all high end, with no easier application. Tried this Illuminator Radiant perfecting primer & finisher, and the foundation went on PERFECTLY! I still moisturize before the primer, and my face looks perfect. Stays in place for 14 hour days, no cracking, flaking, etc., and feels comfortable on my face. If you're going to wear the Double Wear, this primer is essential.
Nice but wont buy again. 3
Kris from Virginia
Overall its a nice product but it doesn't illuminate your skin, just a nice primer. Apply after you have moisturized your skin. I could probably find another less expensive primer that does the same thing.
True Illumination 4
Glynniece from Atascocita
I've used the product 3 times. It's my final skin care step - after sun protection and before adding foundation. I dispense a large pea size amount and then place product on my forehead, nose and both cheeks. Then I smooth the product over my entire face. It works wonderfully under my foundation. It gives me a luminous glow. I won't give up Benefits Porefessional, but for a glow this product is really good. It's worth it.

Love this primer 5
Lauren from Palm desert California
Originally got this primer in a sample size and loved it so much that I bought the full size. Very light weight and helps prep and smooth my skin before applying the este lauder double wear foundation.

Lisa from Tx
I've used a lot of primers, this one hands down is my favorite! I use it with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Soft Matte Hydra foundation. This combo lasts me all day and I love how my skin looks!
