Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

This has been one of the most pleasant primers I have worked with and does everything it claims to do, leaving your skin flawlessly smooth and even and holding your foundation firmly in place for hours.

This is the type of primer that you want to pat into the skin especially over the pore area to minimise their appearance and give a soft veil effect to the face as a perfect base for makeup.

I would give it 100% but it is really expensive even though if used sparsely should last you a really long time as this is a generous size tube, but there are a few other primers on the market that do the same, if a little sub par in terms of long wearing but if you set your face properly will have the same effect.

This primer is really good for dry skin as it adds moisture to your face and making a nice base for your makeup. It smooths my face and refines my pores which is exactly what I need. The overall finish of my makeup is also so much better, making it really smooth and shiny. Makes my make up last longer too

I actually hate the silicone feel of this primer. I have more dry skin and it doesn’t feel nice going on. I exfoliate and moisturize regularly and it still doesn’t feel nice. It also doesn’t really deliver on what it is supposed to do. It doesn’t make foundation stay on any longer than it would without it. This is a expensive glorified pore filler at best. In that case, there are many cheaper alternatives.

Since a friend gave me this to try about 2 years ago, I have never looked back. It creates the perfect canvas for BB cream, CC cream or foundation. It smoothes out imperfections and helps create a beautiful base.

LOVE this primer . Creates the perfect canvas for my skin type. Makes my skin feel silky and soft before i apply my foundation . I like that it makes my foundation glide on so much easier and means i can use less foundation and still get good coverage. Might not be the best product for really dry skin .

I love this primer ot really do what it should. It works perfectly with the smashbox foumdation. It creates a perfect smooth finish it lasts up to 12 hours and it doesent male your foundation get caky. I realy love this primer

This was one of the first higher end primers I tried and it made me see what a difference primers can make. I'd previously tried some drugstore brand primers and wasn't sold and mostly gave primers a miss. I finally gave in and bought a smashbox primer and was honestly so impressed with how smooth my makeup application came out. I do wish it lasted a tiny bit longer but it is absolutely worth it and the bottle lasts for quite a long time, making it worth the price. I definitely don't use it on a daily basis but love it for bigger occasions or nights out!

This was my first ever primer. It made such a different to the way my makeup went on. It's a beautiful silicone primer that makes your skin feel silky smooth making the foundation glide on. I not really sure about whether it helps the longevity but it does help smooth pores. I have since tried many primers and I don't tend to like the more tacky gripping primers on my dryer skin. So far this is my second fav primer behind the Hourglass mineral veil primer
