Greater than one weekI am light skinned but I have redness on my face and this is the best product to get rid of the red skin tones. works well with any foundation, liquid or cream. it sounds expensive but this one tube lasts a long time.. you do not need much product at all. I tried other brands but came back to this...

11-06-2025Since first using a primer I have been unable to go back, and this Smashbox Photo Finish primer is probably my favorite. I tried a sample and fell in love with the silky texture, totally not greasy, which provides a thin veil over the skin to make foundation glide on smoothly. It helps concealer not to crease under eyes during the day, and it makes foundation and blush appear much more even and almost air-brushed compared to not using it. I use a powder foundation applied with a kabuki brush, and it goes on much better with this primer than on bare skin. Some primers tend to feel greasy or take a while to set, but not Smashbox. I highly recommend it!

10-06-2025Originally, when I got this product, I was really worried because it was much thinner than previous bottles that I had used. However, I shook it really good for a couple of minutes and tried it again and it was good as every time I had previously used it! I had never used a foundation primer prior to getting a sample of this product several months ago....never again will I wear foundation without this! Great price that beats everywhere else I have looked for this product!

> 3 dayMany reviewers state this is not the same product you get from a real store. It is the same as far as I can tell. It comes out very liquify at first, but if you shake it to mix it well it comes out more like a gel. Goes on smooth and great under makeup

> 3 dayThis product came recommended. I found it to just be okay. It is light weight which I liked. But I found that my foundation would look a little streaked. Is just use it when I wasnt going to apply foundation to give more of a smoother look.

> 3 dayThe feel of this primer is amazing! I saw an older woman on YouTube who was suggesting application of makeup and she used this. It just glides on and doesnt feel heavy. It really does minimize pores (especially in the T-zone) so that any BB Cream or Foundation goes on SO smoothly. Ive used other brand name primers (Bare Minerals, Arbonne) and other brands (Ulta, Avon) and this, by far and away is the best. You only need a little as it goes a long way. The price is fairly competitive in that although it is more than the Smashbox website, you have to consider the shipping cost which equals it out. Walmart online has it too but it is only .4 of an ounce for $16.00 so its basically the same. I highly recommend it. However, I only give it 4 stars as it, unfortunately, has silica (which makes it smooth) which is of environmental concern and has actually been banned in products in parts of Europe. The amount is small since its the fifth ingredient listed.

Greater than one weekI accidentally bought this instead of the eye shadow base, and Im really glad I did, because it works great around the eye. I put a tiny dab on my finger and thats enough for both eye brows, lids and under eye areas. Im older and my skin isnt tight around my eyes any more and have been experiencing problems with eyeliner pencils and shadows going on unevenly. This product feels soft and smooth on the skin (like silicone), and make up glides on without caking. I hardly ever wear foundation, but I do wear blush powder, so I used some on my cheek area and that went on smoothly, too- and it stayed on all night. Also, my eye brow shadow doesnt usually last long at all- but it stayed on beautifully, too. I have hyper-sensitive skin, and many products cause my skin to get hot and turn bright red. Photo Finish did not cause any ill effects,at all. Im sold!!

> 3 dayWithout 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.
