I've had much better primers in the same price point or cheaper.

I'm African American. The product comes out pink and turns white when you rub it. It leaves a white cast on my face, so forget about using it instead of foundation if that's what you're looking for. It's also super hard to rub on. It's ljke rubbing on too dry lotion, like a weird paste.

Pros: I could use less makeup
Would do a good job at mattifying, but that's not what I needed it for
Made makeup go on more smoothly but not nearly as other smoothly as other primers (both cheaper and more expensive)

Cons: left a white cast even under makeup
Hard to rub on
Didn't make my makeup stay on any longer. Makeup was off within 4 hours. I think it came off faster with this

I'll use it until I run out, but this product is mediocre at best. Don't believe at the hype. You can get a better primer at the drug store for the same price or cheaper

No, I will not be Thanking You Later.

I wanted to like this stuff so badly. I'm tired of paying big bucks for my usual brand...but at least that works!

Thank Me Later primer didn't do a dang thing for my pores or my makeup here in Houston. It goes on feeling oily, and soon there was a blottable sheen going on through my makeup. Worse, in the heat it just slides right on away into oblivion and took my makeup with it! It was actually faster than using no primer. BUMMER.

Back to pricey (but effective) primer...

I'll start off by saying that i have a very oily T-Zone. I have tried numerous primers from every price range and I can say that I finally found the one primer that controls the oil in that area. I start to see shine with other primers within a couple of hours but with this one it last up until the 5th or 6th hour of my work day. My face is not completely matte at hour 5 or 6 but my makeup isn't sliding off my face either. I would recommend this to anyone with extremely oily skin.

I work from home so all day I'm alternating between cleaning house, running errands and working (which happens to include videos for my members). I have to keep my makeup intact, but I kept having to reapply it about every three hours. So I got two primers - one anti aging primer for foundation and Thank Me Later for my eye shadow primer.

I put it on and it was creamy, yet not oily - just velvety and dried almost instantly as it was smoothed out. It felt great going on. Then I applied my Smashbox neutrals eye shadow over it, added my eyeliner and mascara and let it go all day.

Throughout the day, I cleaned house, ran errands and did my videos - and frequently realized I'd been rubbing my eyes (computer work makes them weary). I didn't reapply makeup at all. Seven hours later, it was not only intact exactly as it was, but I noticed during the video review of it that even if I swiped my finger over the shadow, it didn't come off on my finger! It stayed on several more hours (five to be exact) until I removed it easily with a Neutrogena makeup wipe before bed.

Also, I'm 48 - and my eyes are worn for sure. I didn't see any feathering or pooling up in lines, so I was pleased with that, too. I'll upload a before and after pic along with the video. The top one is morning and the bottom one is that night.

I loved this! I'm even thinking I'm going to order the face primer now - and replace my original one from another brand.

I absolutely LOVE this primer! It makes my makeup go on so smooth and a little amount goes a very long way! Its great if you are prone to oily skin. However, I would NOT GET IT IF YOU HAVE DRY SKIN. I don't have issues with dry skin but just from the consistency of this primer, I would bet t wouldn't set good if you have dry flakey skin (it will probably make it look horrible if you put makeup on top of it). But for my skin type (oily), It's one of the best primers I've bought on Amazon so far and will be forever in my makeup routine.
