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

I use this over mosturizer and under my foundation. It helps my foundation to get on smoother and evenly.

I have purchased the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer before from Sephora. Its supposed to be a milky white liquid. I bought this because it said that it was the same formula, just different packaging. Folks, that is a lie. This was basically a clear oil and does not behave like a primer. At first I thought maybe I should have shaken it more, but I shook it a lot, and it was still a clear oil. So, then I thought that maybe the whole original formula thing was a lie, and I contacted the Sephora customer service people to ask if the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer they are currently selling is the same milky white substance as before, and they confirmed that yes, it is. This means either a) I received a defective product, or b) this is some kind of counterfeit scam on Amazon. The moral of this story is: DO NOT BUY THIS, GO TO SEPHORA INSTEAD.

I like this primer very much. Some say its watery therefore fake. I will admit, it came out kind of watery the first 2 times I used it but after that it had come out as thick as other Smashbox primers that I have purchase at sticks & brick stores. I do not think the product I bought was fake. Update: Bought this product again (through Amazon, same seller) & have decreased rating from 4 stars to 2, as this time I do question if this is a fake product. Each time I try to use this primer, when I start putting foundation over the primer I start getting little tiny pills (balls) all over my face. Yuk! It is not that I am using too much primer as I have tried washing my face, starting all over again, using a different Smashbox primer & I do not have these issues. Its either a fake or a batch issue. Probably should have changed it to 1 star, but as I have used Smashbox primers for years and never had this issue, it is possible ,as previous tube seemed okay, that it may be a batch issue and not an issue of it being a fake product..

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.

I received this product sample in my Ipsy bag last month. I love it so much, I had to purchase a full size bottle. My skin is not oily at the end of the day. My mineral liquid foundation seems to go farther, meaning I use less and my pores (older skin) seem smaller. All in all, my first experience with Smashbox is a great one. I will be trying more of their products.

Smashbox primer always receives high marks on competitor sites that sell it for much more so I had to try it and with free delivery, the price was right. It sets a nice canvas for makeup by smoothing over pores. I use this with my bare minerals powder makeup and it works great.

I love what primer does and this product works fine. I have tried a few different ones trying to find what is best for me. This one goes on nicely, but I seem to need more for the same effect of a similar product. (Radiance) It may have more to do with skin type, mine is combination.

This is by far the best product for super oily skin - great in winter and even better in summer. Worth the price

I’ve tried many others. This is the best with or without makeup

I 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...
