jane iredale Absence Oil Control Primer (Absence 1)

This is a very good primer. I LOVE that it is not slick, which is my main complaint about most primers. This does take a bit of getting used to, however, since a little goes a long way. And I don't have to use it everywhere. Like all Jane Iredale products, it is good for the skin. I've been using nearly all Jane Iredale products for about 6 months, and the difference in my skin is remarkable. It just looks healthier. This primer takes a bit of getting used to because it isn't as simple to use as other primers I've used. But it works well, isn't made of any slick or slimy ingredients, and does hold my makeup on well without changing the color of it. What else can I ask? Oh, it does have a floral-y smell that I'm not fond of, but it dissipates quickly.

It works okay. There make up is so great its kind of disappointing when their other products don't deliver. Get the primer made by DHC you won't be disappointed.

Doesn't work like described but it still controls oil to some degree. It will last a long time, but I can't say I'd buy it again.

Made my face super white. Had to return, 3 stars for the swift refund.

This is a great for highlighting but I think its making me break out (I'm super sensitive however).

Great oil control and primer all in one. Evens out your skin tone while truly controlling oil. I've used it with a brush and with the sponge, using a little or a lot, and it works with even a thin application. A thicker application helps conceal larger pores, but you use it up faster, too. Wish it wasn't quite so expensive, which is what prompted me to experiment with using a lighter application--to make it last as long as possible. My skin gets super oily in the summer and this works better than anything I've found.

JI's products are cruelty-free and this is the main reason I've bought them, though to be quite frank, in this case, I feel that the primer does little to nothing to make makeup last longer. I will not purchase it again.

Ok! Purchased cheaper Neutrogena product that work better.

Chalky and cakey, and leaves your face white. sets really waxy and hard before you have a chance to even it out. does keep shine at bay but not for a full working day. not really worth the cost.

Ok not brilliant though
