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

I have used this for years. I have very oily skin. Ive tried drugstore and high end brands of primer but they always seems to make me break out with acne. This never has! By the end of an 8 hour work day, my makeup still looks fresh! No creases or smudging, it helps keep my oily skin at bay.

It is a great primer for me. I have oily skin, large pores, and am beyond fine lines:) It gives my skin a smoother almost matte finish that works well under loose powder or liquid foundation. I dont think it made me break out any worse than I normally do but I read this may not be true for everyone. Seems to be a controversial subject. All I can say is it works great for me:)

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...

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 got a sample of this in my ipsy bag last month and loved it so much, I had to buy a full size. Its a great primer for your foundation. I wont ever use foundation again without using this primer first. Goes on silky smooth, almost velvet-like. Helps my foundation go on evenly. Theres no scent whatsoever to it and I do not get any skin irritation from it. Months ago, I would have insisted that Id never spend this much money on any makeup product, but for me, this is so worth it.

I like to mix up the products I use and try new things but I always find myself coming back to this primer, it’s smooths my skin and makes my foundation look poreless, it’s more in the prestige side but it’s worth the price

My foundation was starting to cake a little & my eye liner was smearing a bit but not anymore with this primer. I have been using this product for a year now and I love it!!!

This is a great light weight primer. There is no smell. I have dry/sensitive to combination skin. Unfortunately, for my skin it doesnt work the way I want it to. It will be a great primer for the summer. I like how light weight it is. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because my skin isnt the greatest with this primer.

Lightweight and feels great om my skin.

I have been using Smashbox Photo Finish makeup primer for several years now. I am 59 years old, with aging skin. This primer is the best I have ever tried. It goes on like silk, feels like silk, and my makeup goes on like silk. It lasts all day, and my skin actually glows. Prior to finding Smashbox Photo Finish, I had used other primers that left a Sticky or goopy feel to my skin, and my makeup was kind of hard to apply. This stuff is magic. I see that Smashbox now has other versions of this- pore reducing, firming, color correction, etc. But for me- this is my go-to primer and will forever be. I love this primer and would/have recommended it to several others. Give it a try- you wont go back to trying to apply makeup to bare skin.
