No. 12: Sally Hansen Line Smoothing Airbrush Primer, $7.99 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 5.4*
Why: One reader calls this product, "beyond disgusting!" She goes on to explain, "I applied it on my face and found it difficult to blend. Once I completed the application I was not left with a velvety skin surface like primers are supposed to do, and also my skin still looked visibly oily in certain places. I applied my makeup as usual, and found that it wore off through the day as if I had not applied any type of primer whatsoever. In addition, for those with sensitive skin, you may find that this product may also sting." Another reader says, "I was not impressed with this primer. It has little flecks of shimmer in it, it smells weird... I don't feel like it moisturized my skin at all, and I noticed absolutely no difference in the feel or look of my skin."

Maybelline's "Stiletto" and Rimmel's concealer and duo eyeshadows are pretty awful.

I haven't tried any of these, but I won't now. I'm glad I've so far had good luck with drugstore products.

I have the stiletto mascara and the Rimmel eyeshadows (different shade than pictured), and don't have any problems with them. Never tried the others.
