You really need to try this primer to see for yourself. Its not just the fact that it makes your skin silky smooth all prepped for that flawless foundation look, but it actually helps you use less foundation. I'm using half the amount of foundation I would normally use thanks to this primer. Plus it really helps my makeup last the whole day without touchups. I adore this product!!

Smashed it out of the park!
Tips: Go get some asap! Its worth the investment. The bottle is so much bigger than the other primers you get at Farmers etc so its definitely worth it.

Fave Primer!
I LOVE THIS PRIMER! Although it has a higher price tag its totally worth it! You only need a small amount to cover your whole face. It keeps your make up on longer and helps it go on way smoother and helps fill in imperfections. I also find I use way less foundation when I use this primer which means it actually saves you money!
Tips: GO AND BUY IT! Use your hands to apply it and smooth it all over your face

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.

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!

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.

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!

I have used this on and off alongside my old faithful napoleon and I have always loved it. However there is definitely a trick to using this product.. As it almost feels serum/oil like in texture and application you really need to focus on using small amounts, blending it into your skin well and letting it soak in. Once you have done that make up application is substantially easier, you will use WAY less foundation than you would without and your make up will definitely set nicely and stay in place. I think they have changed the formula over years as I remember not being very impressed with this when it first came out.. However I have got hold of this recently and find me using it very often. Tried, tested and approved on sensitive skin!
Tips: LESS IS MORE.. This product feels very oily/serum like when you spread it out (despite being water based) so you need to use it sparingly when you do, you will find its a brilliant product.
