My oldtime fav primer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The best primer and have been using it for years. It has spf but not sticky at all. No breakouts for my sensitive skin. The foundation lays nicely on top of this primer.

Whhhhy?!?!
I have been using LM since 2015 and continued using it because this is the only makeup brand that did not make me break out. I really fell in love with the products especially the tinted moisturizer and primer protect, but last year or two years ago, LM changed their tinted moisturizer and now the primer protect. I have noticed that both products now make my face really oily. I'm really disappointed because I love both products and I'm afraid to explore beyond this brand because of how it helped my skin, but my skin is more oily now. I honestly don't know why LM needs to change a product if it is receiving really great reviews. Bring back the old product!!

I love this primer!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used this for years and still love it. Sunblock is important to me, but if I only wear that, my LM powder foundation doesn't look good and I often get that "pilling" effect with other sunblocks. Not with this primer/sunblock. It feels good and light on my skin and absorbs to feel like there is nothing there and there is no pilling. I wear this and a light covering of LM powder foundation and it looks great. I actually have cystic acne skin with some scarring, but I have had so many compliments on my skin when I wear this and my LM powder - I'm always surprised and always flattered, but I know it's LM that makes my skin look like that.
