Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer for Women, Transparent, , 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)

This lasts forever because you only need a very little. A little goes a long way! This keeps my oily pores in check. My makeup stays on twice as long as it did before I started to use this!

Ive used primers by Nars and Laura Mercier in the past, and was pretty happy. They definitely helped my concealer stay put, and Laura Mercier gave me a little glow. But I kept hearing about Smashboxs primer, and as Ive been trying to move more toward cruelty-free products (Smashbox/Estee Lauder is cruelty free as of 2017), decided to give it a try. OMG, I HAD NO IDEA BEFORE WHAT A PRIMER COULD DO. See, in the past, if I happened to forget my primer step, I wouldnt really notice a difference in application/texture, just longevity. Now, if I inadvertently skip my Photo Finish primer, I see IMMEDIATELY that my concealer is wearing differently (I use Tarte Shape Tape applied with a damp beauty blender). It will look dryer, more settled into my fine lines, and overall just more makeup-y. Ill actually clean it off and reapply with my primer! Smashboxs Photo Finish primer makes my skin smooth and baby soft to the touch, and makes my concealer look like my natural skin, just with better complexion.

I love this product!! I love the subtle, clean smell and the soft, smooth texture of my skin after application. I use this product before applying makeup. It leaves my skin looking matte, not oily, for the entire day.

great base for makeup

100%

Without a doubt, this is the best primer on the market. I have tried so many and NONE are as good as this one. It smooths your skin and makes it so much easier for foundation to stay put. Im buying more to give as gifts to friends.

One of the least greasy of those I have tried. Goes on nicely. Would buy again. Note: I usually use Arbonne, but it costs too much - especially with shipping. This is the closest that I could find. It is a little oilier than Arbonne, but does a good job. I do not have oily skin so it does not affect me in any way. It absorbs into your skin in a couple minutes and there is no sheen.

This product does work and I am very happy with the results on the skin! It just makes your skin look younger

Ive been using this product for years. Its the only primer that works well for me. I am South Asian and have skin that tends to get oily with makeup. With Photo Finish my makeup stays on longer and I dont get that oily shine within half hour of putting on my makeup.

I had seen a makeup video on youtube and really wanted to try this Primer out. It feels odd when applying it but a little seems to go a long way. You can really feel it cover your skin very well. I dont use make up very much, more so on the nights I go out. I have fairly clear healthy skin and I like to keep as much (chemical wise) off of my skin unless its needed. Ive used it about 4 times in a three week period and ive liked the results. It appears it helps to give foundation a smoother appearance compared to other brands I have bought from regular stores in my area. I also bought an air brush foundation but it seemed no matter what I did, that it didnt work as great as how it was show in the youtube video. So I used it with liquid foundation I have used in the past, bought from the store and it looked great, made my skin look flawless. I do love this product only thing that is an issue for me is texture. Feels kind of like a smoother Vaseline to my fingers but once its applied and done on my face it doesnt bother me at that point. This is one of those things that feels really odd to the touch, but dont hold that against this product it really is a great primer. I had bought two in my order before even trying it, and very glad I did.
