I have it. Just the regular one. Big waste of money! I like the smash box primer better...





I forgot to add. My sister had posted a bunch of pics on facebook and that was all she had on and looked really good. She loved it, I did not.





GM, you're font's a lil' hard to read Hun..
Anyway, I'm w/Michelle, I don't like it, @ all. Paid like 7.00 for the trial size, & it sucks for me..gave it to my friend, she says she likes it so..

Yeah, it's not that good. Smashbox primer is definitely better.





Thankx ladies! Sorry about that small font-don't know what happened there.
I've tried a lot of primers in the last year or so.
Miracle Blur is okay. I tend to leave it in my car and use it more as spf and a little pick me up for my face and hands.
I really hated a primer by tarte. It smelled really bad and pilled. it looks like the miracle blur in how it comes out kind of sheer and plasticky looking, but it's thicker. I tried it with brush and fingers multiple times and it just felt like I would putting petroleum on my face and it took forever to dry/set in a way that it wouldn't automatically pill when I put foundation on top of it.
I'm pretty sure the one that I really loved was Loreal's Magic Perfecting Base. Comes in a little glass jar and had a white-ish look to it. That was great! Close second favorite is actually by Bare Minerals Prime Time. Both of these have a slight stickiness to them at first, but I found they really spread on my skin nice and stayed put.
Rimmel (at Target) has a tinted primer that I would use all the time. That one was so so, but I liked the apricot base to it.
Now, in lieu of Rimmel when I want a bit of color and small coverage I use Urban Decay's BB cream which looks and feels great. I lucked out by being able to have a color that worked on me. I know you're asking for primer, but if you need more coverage than a BB cream, Smashbox HD foundation looks really great for giving your face a uniform matte color (you have to build on this for camera because otherwise your face looks really weird.)
I have a bunch of Bare Minerals Prime Time from Christmas last year so even though I liked the Loreal Magic better, this one is close enough for me and I only use primer a few times a month. Hope this helps
oh, and if you need a rec or a makeup setter spray, I can highly recommend Napolean Perdis finishing spray. when I dance, my eyeshadow is just as strong at the end of the night and I'm pretty sure (it's been awhile since I've gone whole-hog makeup) that my foundation also stays put when normally it's sweat/worn off by the end of the night.

^ I second the bare minerals suggestion. I tried Loreal when I heard of it, but it just wasn't working with my freckles like bare minerals does. Freckles make me biased!

I didn't like it b/c it gave me HORRIBLE pimples! Ugh!




I've gotta say, I'm a cheapskate but also a product whore. For stuff to get at a drugstore...check if they have an open item return policy. Some do!
Because good primers/foundation can be mad expensive, I go to Sephora and get 3 free samples every.single.time. I go. I'm chatty with the sale associate so they end up giving even more most of the time! Do it do it do it before investing in something that may not work for you.

I use the Loreal photo ready primer in a little jar & i love it! it was $10 but my makeup looks amazing!

Thanks ladies!Melly, I didn't know Sephora gave samples-must go and check it out.Thanks for that info. I bought a foundation at cvs today by wet and wild-same one I bought before. It's too bad that drugstores have gotten more expensive with their makeup prices. My skin is naturally flawless, but since I cam in hd, I never know how it looks from the customer's side.
Dancing is where I am more picky also, because I tend to perspire a lot, and can't have a 'runny' situation.
