Another great primer!! So smooth, foundation lasts so much longer without smudging off. Small amount goes a long way, so although its pricey it lasts ages.

Reviews
This is the best primer I have used, I have tried a couple of different ones but this one was definitely worth the money. A little bit covers your whole face so it does last a long time. It's amazingly smooth and soft, leaving your skin feeling like a perfect canvas for your make-up. Even though I don't wear foundation every day it's also a great base for tinted moisturiser. It's fantastic around the eye and lip area, stops your make-up sitting in any fine lines that may be lurking. It keeps your make-up fresh looking all day long.
Tips: You don't need to use moisturiser underneath your make-up, this primer is smooth and moisturising but doesn't leave a greasy residue, so it won't absorb your make-up
This primer is perfect for everyday use for me! I also use the colour correcting primer and it’s fabulous. Has a silicone feel to it and helps my foundation and concealer glide on and I use less product than I normally would with other primers.
Tips: For summertime I would use a primer that has a more sticky base as when I use this primer in hot weather my foundation tends to slip.
a great base for a smooth make up finish! make up lasted all day and didnt cake at all. great for hiding enlarged pores
Tips: dont over do it with the product
On my most recent Sephora order I popped in one of there 100point perks (you get points for every $ you spend which you can then use to buy samples etc). This time it was this Smashbox Primer in a 7.1ml size. I have tried this a few times before in the smaller size, and I think I tried the green colour correcting one at some stage but really I found it extremely similar to the normal one.
The packaging is really simple. Just a clear tube with black writing on and a black lid. I do like though that you can see how much you have used and how much you have left.
Basically it is a clear silicone type primer. It does smooth onto the skin really easily and leaves your skin feeling really smooth before applying your foundation. You also don't need very much to apply to your skin either which is great considering the price. My foundation sits on top of it nicely and it looks fab at the start. Unfortunately though it doesn't do what I want it to do. My foundation really doesn't seem to last any longer with this than it does without it.
If you are after trying a primer like this I think I would advise starting with the elf primer. They feel incredibly similar but the elf one is massively cheaper.
I found that this primer did not keep my foundation on as well as other primers I have used, it left a oily glow to my skin which I did not like so this Product did not work for me and will not be buying again
I often find in photos that my face is a little shiny. Enter Smashhbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer! It glides on so well that you only need to use a little bit of it. It stops all shininess in pics. Added bonus is that it makes your skin feel amazingly soft and smooth after application!
Tips: Only use a little bit in your problem shiny areas. You don't need to put it all over your face to achieve the desired results
I just love this primer, would recommend to everyone, it goes onto the skin so lovely, it feels great and it makes my make-up last the entire day,
I received this in my goodie bag at NZFW and it is amazing, it is a bit pricey and I personally wouldn't of bought it otherwise but now I have tried it and seen how amazing it is I will repurchase. It goes on smoothly and makes your skin feel like velvet. My make up applies nicely and stays on, does not fade around the nose and cheek area where it normally did.
Tips: apply with your fingers so it works the primer into your skin. Do not use a brush.
I love using this under foundation for a special occasion. I definitely find my make up glides on more easily and lasts a lot longer. I have tried various different primers and have this one to be superior. It is a tad on the pricey side, but a little goes a long away.
Tips: Apply foundation immediately after for the best results
