Worth the Hype!

I tried this product after hearing so much about it from "Ingrid" who is a youtube beauty guru. I have to say it was totally worth the hype and I loved it! It is a high end product but I think its worth the splurge! I recommend this product so much! Best Primer I would say!

Not an expert here but I liked it

I don't usually mess around too much with 'extras' but for special occasions I do like to make some effort. I really do notice the difference this makes - it improves not only my 'look' but also the wear. I guess the bonus of not using it on a daily basis means it lasts a lot longer - which helps with the budget aspect.

YES AND NO!

This is a gorgeous primer that lasts the test of time and my liquid foundation did glide on effortlessly over top! The only no-no with this product was that I have a slightly dryer skin type, and even with my normal moisturiser underneath it did make my skin feel quiet tight and dry later in the day.

Nice and smooth primer

I really like this primer as it reminds me of the E.L.F one, it glides on so smoothly and makes my skin feel so soft. Foundation goes on so much better with this underneath.

Almost but not quite

I used the smashbox primer as a couple of samples - one I received at NZFW and the other in a goodiebag somewhere. They are really good sized ones as well and I've still got one of them. The primers feels lightweight, blends into your skin and actually feels silky (like it says it does). I don't know that it made any difference when I added my foundation on top, and I didn't really notice that my pores were any smaller or a reduction in fine lines. It sorta helped make my skin a nice little canvas though for easy application so it did sort of smooth it out. Not sure that it's worth the hype. I'll probably try one of the colour correcting ones though which might work better for me. I'm addicted to Benefits Porefessional at the moment which is perfect for my skin type and pores.

Tips: Make sure you wash/cleanse and gently exfoliate your skin before applying so give a great canvas which your foundation will look amazing on.

Amazing silky finish that lasts all day

I have always been skeptical of primers never really knowing what the purpose of them was or finding one that made a difference.

I had this tested on me during a make up evening at Dollybird and first of all loved how silky it made my skin feel. Then, to see that it made my make up last all day - I was hooked! I purchased it the next day and have never looked back.

I have recommended it to many friends who also love it.

Tips: Make sure your skin is clean by washing or exfoliating before applying - makes your skin look even more flawless after application!

Two thumbs up

One of the better primers out there. It really does set the stage and your makeup glides on with ease. I did notice that there was a reduction in lines on my face which other primers didn't do. This will leave your skin feeling really silky afterwards! Unfortunately, this product is something that I only get as a 'real treat' for myself. I try and make it last when I have it.

Tips: Exfoliate before using

Perfect Silky Skin!

After years of using different primers this is now my go to product. The primer goes on like silk and feels light and smooth on the skin. A small amount goes a long way and the results under cream foundation leave lovely, smooth and even skin.

Tips: Wanting a lighter even coverage with your foundation, add a small bead size amount of the primer and mix it together.

Makes my make up last all day long!!

Amazing primer, I have only had it for about a week but I will never go back! Feels like youre putting silk onto your face, and really easy to apply. You only need a little bit! Makeup smooths over it really well and my makeup doesnt budge all day, giving your makeup a powdery finish. A little on the pricey side but well worth it.

Tips: Use sparingly!
