The issue with these silicon primers is that they keep the foundation out of your pores but in turn, they go into your pores. At least that's what happened with all of the other silicone primers I've tried (Smashbox, etc) I had huge breakouts. But because Palladio is so inexpensive, I'm eager to try it :)
@vladak86 during my first visit to Ulta this past Saturday, they had palladio, but they didn't have the foundation primer yet. It's new, so chances are they'll get it eventually.
@linn343 You shouldn't have a problem...I have really oily skin and haven't had any issues. If anything, using Palladio has improved my skin during the day. Make sure you use a loose powder if you have oily skin like I do.
Yes! Finally a good face primer I can afford. I tried out smashbox in the store and thought it was delightful, but I'm a poor college student. I'm so glad you told us about palladios face primer! Thank you.
I can't wait to try this product!! I bought the Palladio eye primer and it is soooo much better than Loreal De-crease. De-crease did nothing to improve the look or staying power of my shadows, but I feel the Palladio really enhances any shadow I apply. I can't wait to try the Face Primer from Palladio. Thanks for letting us know about this product!
I just found this dupe myself! I felt like a hero when I did. Smashbox is amazing but really WAY too expensive. No other primers do that silky thing. Yay for Palladio! I am going to buy it when I run out of my small Photo Finish.
I am excited to try these primers! Also, please do an eyebrow tutorial! Yours always look flawless, I was wondering what you use to color them in if anything? Thanks again for the very informative review, have a great day:)
I appreciate this review soooo much!!! I am going into college next year and I am absolutely in love with the smashbox photofinish primer (it was a gift) but soooo expensive my gosh!!! I will definitely check this stuff out, and hopefully it will keep my skin clear like smashbox does!! Thank you sooo much! haha xoxo
I totally agree about the Revlon primer. I thought it was really gross to tell ya that truth. It actually made my makeup gunk up on me (especially around the nose) When I applied it it felt like there was "glue" in the Revlon one. I know that sounds funny, but it felt like a primer with glue in it. I'm sooooooooo glad to heard Palladio has a nice one out now!! I'm a Big Palladio fan !! I'm buying some real soon !!
okay, i watched this and as soon as it was finished i went straight to Sallys ! :) i was so excited, i cant wait to try it! iv been wanting to try smashbox photofinish but cant bring myself to spend the money. thank you so much for always providing inexpensive alterniatives. i LOVE your videos, your awesome! :)
OMG you're totally rigth i just got the revlon primer yesterday and I just don't like it, I was blaming mi type of skin but glad to know you don't really like it either. thanks for your videos!!!!!!!!!
I went for the Palladio Herbal Foundation and one Sally ran out, and at the other I got the last one!!, I ended up buying their make-up foundation too, Palladio Herbak Dual Wet and Dry and it's the silkiest make-up I have ever put on my face!!. But going back to the Primer, I love it, and the price and the amount is super!!. Call before you go to Sallys to make sure they have it.
Amazing video as usual!! I can't wait to pick this up this week :) along with the primer! I'm super greasy on my forehead and eyelids, I need a great primer!
Have you tried Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder-Gel as a face primer? There's a lot of talk about this. Advertising says "Non-greasy POWDER-GEL™ skin protectant formula with dimethicone. Dries to form a silky, breathable barrier". You get 1.5 oz for approx $9. I just bought it to try. The texture on the skin is wonderfully smooth and dries right away with no smell. Look into it and let us know what you think.
@pakirican It's ok... it smooths my skin some but I'm like you, I don't really notice a huge difference. I don't know if I'll buy it again, especially if the Palladio is better.
Thanks so much for the info on this primer - I, too, like the smashbox primer but don't want to pay the high price for it so I have settled for Rimmel's Fix n' Perfect - which is good too but this one is what I would prefer because of the smooth finish - I'll be heading to Sally's!!!!
This is an awesome find! Also, I was so looking forward to your review on the L'oreal new primer in the jar (can't think of name). I hope you can review that some time soon? Thanks, Emily!
been using smashbox primer for over a year now and i like it pretty good. i wanna try the palladio primer though. i have super oily skin so i'm wondering how well it's going to work for me
my mom has used the smashbox primer for a few months but she feels like it doesn't work as well now... she has really oily skin. && she's tried the MAC one too but it doesn't work very well either. i'll recommend this to my mom... :) great vid emily! xx
I cant tell you how much i love the palladio eyeshadows. They are amazing, next time you stop by sallys check them out! I cant wait to try more products from them i can tell there a great company just by your reviews.
emily have you tried the monistat chafing gel??? they said is a dupe for the smashbox but i havent used the smashbox so i cant compare but the monistat just feels like you describe it, you might like it and it only costs 5 dlls i love it.. it works wonderful
Thanks Emily for helping us save money with good, quality product recommendations. THANK YOU! I will certainly try Palladio Herbal Facer Primer. In South Florida, they sell it a Sally's Beauty Supply and also Navarro Discount Pharmacies. Thanks and take care. P.S.- I love your hair in this video, it just looks so healthy, smooth and shiny! What hair product did you use here?
Hey Emily, How do you apply the primer? Can you apply moisturizer too? What order do I use my moisturizer, primer, and my foundation? Thank you so much for your fantastic videos!
I had the Palladio in my hands the other night and couldn't remember if this was one that u recomended. It was only $9.oo I will def go back and get it!
hi there i have never tried the smashbox, i have been using elf primer and i ran out of that , so i decided to go off your review , and so far so happy , =) thanks
how does it work with mineral foundations? i use everyday minerals, and bare minerals foundation, and im trying to find a perfect primer for my mineral foundations.
i was so excited when i got the palladio primer because ive always heard good things about palladio... and it really does make my foundation last and go on smooth.. but it breaks me out so bad -_- my skin is usually flawless and lately ive been getting acne all over my t zone.. should i just put the primer on my cheek area?
So do you like the Palladio primer better than the Rimmel primer? Could you rank them in order of preference please? Thank you for your amazing videos and reviews!
I was going to pick up some of the eyeshadow primer tomorrow just to try it out. I'm glad to hear it's a good product =) The primer I'm using now is very silky. I don't know if you've tried it. It's Arbonne's makeup primer. The woman I babysit for suggested it to me when I told her how disappointed I was in the Rimmel primer. I can't live without it. lol. I'll have to try the Palladio one now to see how they compare. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for sharing this! I'm now using the smashbox primer, cause you suggested it, and it has worked wonders for me. Since I have oily skin my foundation slides off so easily, and i don't have this problem when i use photofinish. However, it;s way overpriced here in the netherlands (around 40/50 euro's i believe for the big size), so I will definitely look online for this palladio primer, hopefully it'll be on ebay or an online drugstore soon!
@bettyhatesobama I agree! the smashbox one is awesome but it broke me out! The Monistat Chafing Gel doesn't break me out & is the only primer that works well with my oily skin!
Another great review Emily. I was wonder if you have try the monistat chafing relief gel as a dupe of the smashbox, i have wear the smashbox and my godness is awesome! i love it! and right now i'm using the magix by avon and it's great too! Please, tell me if u have try the monistat
Emily can you please tell me if you use foundation primer and concealer, but put your eye makeup on first, which do you apply first, the concealer or the primer? Thanks. Love your videos.
Have you tried the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base? I love love love it. It makes my skin feel like satin and evens it out so much I sometimes feel like I don't need makeup.
I have noticed recently that after I apply under eye concealer it settles into the fine lines. looks like leather. I have never seen that before. Do you think a primer will solve the problem? I have never used a primer because I thought they were not necessary as long as u hv a good serum or moisturizer.
i love Palladio's wet/dry foundation and rice powder, i swear i never hear alot about palladio products on youtube which is dissapointing because i love their products!
@Trueghostgirl u should try burt's bees moisturizer .. i apply that first and then i apply foundation.. and im so amazed of well it works...usually the primer doesnt let ur skin breath that well lol.. so maybe thats why u break out .. but i also use tarte's primer sometimes.. but burts bees acts like a primer for me to be quite honest
@TinaSparkle75 yes....I also suffer from breakout's with primers. I feel like I've tried them all....I even used bare minerals primer....and pur minerals primer...but after a week or so I notice the texture of my skin gets bumpy...and I get small breakouts (I have porcelain skin usually...so I know its primers causing this) it's very annoying b/c I love how smooth my makeup goes on...but it's a nightmare when I start to notice these bumps. Oh well
I too would like to hear if you've tried the monistat anti-chaffing gel as a primer because it would be interesting to hear what you think about it in comparison to now two of your favorites. It has so many great reviews, especially in comparison to the SB photo finish.
is this going to clog up my pores? and when you apply primer, do you wait until the moisturizer is completely dry, then also let the primer completely dry before applying foundation?
Emily if you are still on that "quest" lol i think that the MAC matte gel is AMAAZING!! I get that same silky smooth feeling. I think its about 18 bucks so its not tooo bad and it gets rid of shine and mattens your face and the MAC artists told me it keeps your makeup on all day and you honestly need the smallest amount. Ive had mine for like 5 months and im not even done with a quarter of it. :) Just a suggestion :)))
I have tried many different primers,Revlon is my least favourite of all of them .I tried Make Up Forever HD primer and had an allergic reaction to it! Have you tried Make Up Forever primer and what do you think of it?
I have heard something about some primers having silicon or something like that. What is all the talk about that ingredient? and...does this Palladio primer have that?
we don't have a sally's beauty spot here in town, but there's one like 35 miles away, i have been there a couple times, the layout seemed confusing, but there was tons of people in there and all the employees were coming from all directions to ask if they could be of assistance...it was a little much and overwhelming...but i want to go back.everyone seems to like Sally's.
Hi Emily, thanks for the info,but I recently noted that your camera seems a little out of focus. I thought it was my 'puter but all other videos look ok. Just thought you should know in case you want to check your camera's settings. take care.
My mom is going to the US tomorrow, so I have to choose my stuff today. I asked her to bring methe too faced shadow insurance, but now I am not sure, should I skip that I get the palladium one?Is the face one good enough to use as shadow primer too?

At least that's what happened with all of the other silicone primers I've tried (Smashbox, etc) I had huge breakouts. But because Palladio is so inexpensive, I'm eager to try it :)
@vladak86 during my first visit to Ulta this past Saturday, they had palladio, but they didn't have the foundation primer yet. It's new, so chances are they'll get it eventually.
@markgirl760 i believe it was around $7

@kewlpnay She uses it with liquid foundation I believe, and it can be used with any foundation type as far as I know.
Thanks for the review Emily. Is this primer great for oily skin??
This is an awesome find! Also, I was so looking forward to your review on the L'oreal new primer in the jar (can't think of name). I hope you can review that some time soon? Thanks, Emily!

I purchased this primer because of your review. I luv it--thanks for the vid.
Thanks I was looking for a primer. Smashbox is too expensive. Thanks for sharing.
my mom has used the smashbox primer for a few months but she feels like it doesn't work as well now... she has really oily skin.

glad i seen this review before i actually went and bought the smashbox..i was really going to buy it tomorrow.
I've seen palladio sold at Nordstrom rack! thanks for the review
I will have to try this one out! I think Photo Finish primer is similar to Bare Escentuals face primer. You get 1oz for $21
emily have you tried the monistat chafing gel??? they said is a dupe for the smashbox but i havent used the smashbox so i cant compare but the monistat just feels like you describe it, you might like it and it only costs 5 dlls i love it.. it works wonderful
Thanks Emily for helping us save money with good, quality product recommendations. THANK YOU! I will certainly try Palladio Herbal Facer Primer.
In South Florida, they sell it a Sally's Beauty Supply and also Navarro Discount Pharmacies. Thanks and take care.

I love your hair in this video, it just looks so healthy, smooth and shiny!
What hair product did you use here?
Hey Emily, How do you apply the primer? Can you apply moisturizer too? What order do I use my moisturizer, primer, and my foundation? Thank you so much for your fantastic videos!
Yesterday after seeing you videos, i went to Sally's and get the two products, they are a great buy. Thank you for the heads up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yay I have both
I had the Palladio in my hands the other night and couldn't remember if this was one that u recomended. It was only $9.oo I will def go back and get it!
How about decreasing pore size? That is a MUST for me with a face primer.
hi there i have never tried the smashbox, i have been using elf primer and i ran out of that , so i decided to go off your review , and so far so happy , =) thanks
how does it work with mineral foundations? i use everyday minerals, and bare minerals foundation, and im trying to find a perfect primer for my mineral foundations.
Thanks for the review! Have you tried the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer? That's what I use but would love a comparison.

The palladio foundation is good to. I'm not really a makeup person but thats what I use for foundation:))
I've been looking for an inexpensive primer foreverrr. thank you :D
@bettyhatesobama I agree! the smashbox one is awesome but it broke me out! The Monistat Chafing Gel doesn't break me out & is the only primer that works well with my oily skin!
Another great review Emily.
I was wonder if you have try the monistat chafing relief gel as a dupe of the smashbox, i have wear the smashbox and my godness is awesome! i love it! and right now i'm using the magix by avon and it's great too!
Please, tell me if u have try the monistat
Emily can you please tell me if you use foundation primer and concealer, but put your eye makeup on first, which do you apply first, the concealer or the primer? Thanks. Love your videos.
Have you tried the Monistat anti-chafing gel? It is made with dimethicone like smashbox, I believe. It is affordable as well. Thanks for sharing!
I usually just use NYX jumbo eyeshadow crayon in milk as my primer, how does that compare with the Palladio eyeshadow primer?
Have you tried the L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base? I love love love it. It makes my skin feel like satin and evens it out so much I sometimes feel like I don't need makeup.
Thank you so much I think this will save people money who can't buy the Smashbox.
Great review!
Awesome!! Thank u!
GREAT REVIEW
Is Palladio Face Primer good for people who get acne?
@12esmeg its really good, i liked it, plus for the price you cant go wrong .
I've been using the Sephora primer and I really like it. It's not nearly as expensive as Smashbox. Have you tried the Sephora primer?
i will definitely try this!Thanks Ms. emily!:)
maybe u can try the monistat chafing gel since theyre all silicon based.. i think the main ingredient's basically the same..
Is anyone having any problems with breakouts or clogged pores from using a primer?
I have noticed recently that after I apply under eye concealer it settles into the fine lines. looks like leather. I have never seen that before. Do you think a primer will solve the problem? I have never used a primer because I thought they were not necessary as long as u hv a good serum or moisturizer.
i love Palladio's wet/dry foundation and rice powder, i swear i never hear alot about palladio products on youtube which is dissapointing because i love their products!
I LOVE PALLADIO!
@Trueghostgirl u should try burt's bees moisturizer .. i apply that first and then i apply foundation.. and im so amazed of well it works...usually the primer doesnt let ur skin breath that well lol.. so maybe thats why u break out .. but i also use tarte's primer sometimes.. but burts bees acts like a primer for me to be quite honest
have you tried The Body Shop "matte it" primer? i like it, but i usually used Too Faced "primed and poreless"
@TinaSparkle75 yes....I also suffer from breakout's with primers. I feel like I've tried them all....I even used bare minerals primer....and pur minerals primer...but after a week or so I notice the texture of my skin gets bumpy...and I get small breakouts (I have porcelain skin usually...so I know its primers causing this) it's very annoying b/c I love how smooth my makeup goes on...but it's a nightmare when I start to notice these bumps. Oh well
I too would like to hear if you've tried the monistat anti-chaffing gel as a primer because it would be interesting to hear what you think about it in comparison to now two of your favorites. It has so many great reviews, especially in comparison to the SB photo finish.
you should try the GOSH primer, its really good
I hope my sally's has it .I would love to try it out !! Thnx for the review !!! xo Jessie
Oh wow this takes me back!
you should try the GOSH primer too, its really good
@carmi999 i tried a new editing software on these last 2 reviews... i'm thinking that's it. i'll check it out :)
has anyone tried the elf face primer in the studio line?
GOSH's primer is also said to be very close to the smashbox primer
have you compared the ingredients to see if they are similar? curious.. i def gonna check this out
is this going to clog up my pores? and when you apply primer, do you wait until the moisturizer is completely dry, then also let the primer completely dry before applying foundation?
It's about $12 at Sally's (depending if you have a sally's card or not) ;)
Emily if you are still on that "quest" lol i think that the MAC matte gel is AMAAZING!! I get that same silky smooth feeling. I think its about 18 bucks so its not tooo bad and it gets rid of shine and mattens your face and the MAC artists told me it keeps your makeup on all day and you honestly need the smallest amount. Ive had mine for like 5 months and im not even done with a quarter of it. :)
Just a suggestion :)))
can u do an overview on drugstore foundations and mini reviews please?! I'm really caught between a bunch of different foundations.
I have tried many different primers,Revlon is my least favourite of all of them .I tried Make Up Forever HD primer and had an allergic reaction to it! Have you tried Make Up Forever primer and what do you think of it?
would this be good for oily skin?
I have heard something about some primers having silicon or something like that. What is all the talk about that ingredient? and...does this Palladio primer have that?
we don't have a sally's beauty spot here in town, but there's one like 35 miles away, i have been there a couple times, the layout seemed confusing, but there was tons of people in there and all the employees were coming from all directions to ask if they could be of assistance...it was a little much and overwhelming...but i want to go back.everyone seems to like Sally's.
is smashbox primer for a very dry skin ok?
Hi Emily, thanks for the info,but I recently noted that your camera seems a little out of focus. I thought it was my 'puter but all other videos look ok. Just thought you should know in case you want to check your camera's settings. take care.
have you tried lancome's foundation primer and smashbox photo finish lid primer and if so how do they compare with others you have tried,thanks!
Hi Emily! have you tried hard candy face primer? it feels so silky soft.
Have you ever tried the Monistat Anti Chafing gel as a primer?
palladio is good for oil skin and acne??/
will palladio work for oily skin??
@caribeth1180 what are your thoughts on the rimmel primer? i dont see much of a difference in my makeup when i use it
This is awesome news Emily! How would you compare this primer to the Rimmel primer?
Thanks for sharing, I'll be at Sally's tomorrow! :)
@sj1605 maybe you put too much concealer, or you just have to heat with your finger the concealer first and then apply very well.
My mom is going to the US tomorrow, so I have to choose my stuff today. I asked her to bring methe too faced shadow insurance, but now I am not sure, should I skip that I get the palladium one?Is the face one good enough to use as shadow primer too?
