I liked it at first and used it every day to tight line (google that- it's a great technique), but after a few applications it dried out and stopped looking like anything on. The consistency was so hard to get right too. Also, the mechanism to close the container broke on two of my packages.

I used the Smashbox primer in the past, but it contains silicone (as do most primers), so I tried the Laura primer out and found that it does even out the application of the foundation and gives it longer wear. If you have problems holding foundation for a long time, but really like what you wear, try this out.

Don't let the feather-light weight of this foundation fool you, it contains (along with all LM foundations) 300x more pigment than any other line. Laura is known for her Flawless Face system so she knows foundations. Chances are you'll find a perfect shade for you and love the fact that this covers like crazy and just looks like skin! I use it daily and mix it with Laura's Tinted Moisturizer because I like for it to be even lighter on the skin.

As with many Laura products, you just have to 'get it' and really buy into how it's suposed to be used. You need to use the right brush first off because it's so dense that it needs to be applyed just right. Also understand that this peachy hue is the right one to hide dark circles, not a yellow based concealer which is common belief. I find that when I set it (Secret Brightening Powder), it lasts, covers and stays put. It's my favorite and I use it every day.

Whether you're using good ol' BareMinerals or Laura's own line, you must use this under your powder mineral foundation. It's so lightweight and perfectly evens out the skin before adding the foundation. Your foundation will look better and last longer.

This is meant to be placed under the Secret Concealer for a brightening effect where your circles are dark. If used over the concealer it will cake. I really like it- it's very lifting on the eye area and helps tired looking eyes. It can also be used down the bridge of the nose or along cheeks for a highlight.

I wouldn't think a little puff would make such a difference, but it really does. Use it with their translucent loose powder (it matches all skins and types), then make a 'taco' out of the puff and roll it all over the face to set the foundation and concealer perfectly. Wash it with a little baby shampoo to extend the life.

I tried this one years ago and didn't like it until I bought the brush that is supposed to be used with it. It delivers the perfect amount of product on the blemish and presses it lightly in so it stays all day without caking and looking heavy. Add a tiny amount of moisturizer if you're a little dry, it will still stay.

As much as I wanted to love it and didn't want it to crease, it did in every situation. I tried the smallest amount and a little more. I did it alone, with cream shadow over and powder shadow over it. Nothing helped the creasing and it didn't last the day.

If you want some color, but not the harshness of lipstick, then try out the Creamy Lip Color. They're so moisturizing and really stay on long. Also, the color selection is amazing, just the sheer beautiful colors that you'd want.
