Do the Prime and do the time !!

Cheesy headliner but the truth! Smashbox primer literally does the time ! It is the best primer I have used to date ! Your skin after applying feels so soft like a baby's bottom! It's almost powdery like feel. My makeup will last throughout a night no sweat. I swear by this product !

Tips: A little goes a long way.

New Fave!

I have really oily skin and I'm always after the perfect combination of primer and foundation - think I've found it!! The primer is easy to apply and blend, you don't need a lot of product to get an even coverage for your base. I'll often pop a tiny but on my eyelids after applying foundation and have found that it also keeps my eyeshadow from creasing throughout the day. This product keeps my face looking even and I've never had any "cake-i-ness" with it where I usually get that round my nose quite a bit.

Amazing Primer

I love this smashbox primer it goes on so smoothly, it has the most amazing feel about it, I find it makes my foundation look a lot better when I have this primer on, and makes my makeup last a whole day.

Tips: A little goes a long way, I purchase mine of strawberry net, I find it to be cheaper :-)

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.

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!

Peeeerfect!

It is a crime not to prime and I have been on a hunt for a good primer for lets just say years. I used to use smashbox when I was like 16? Not sure why I ever stopped but my sister reintroduced me to it and I'm hooked! Back to the primer though "flawless skin" is not joke. This is the prefect base it goes on really smoothly and creates a nice even surface. It's also the first primer I have put on and been like wow my skin look better! It actually is velvet, feels velvet, looks velvet, is velvet. Yes it's expensive so if your on a budget not ideal but it is 100% worth every penny.

Tips: Use alongside studio 15hour foundation and their power - A MAZ ING

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

Fantastic primer

It glides on so smoothly, and makes my skin feel so soft, definitely makes it a great base for foundation. Definitely helps by giving a smooth, even appearance of foundation, and makes it last all day!

Tips: Exfoliate and moisturize before using to give an even more smooth base for foundation!

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.
