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

I honestly wanted to love this stuff. Ive been seeing the product in my local Ulta for years, wanting so badly to try it on my terribly oily, poorly textured skin. Everyone seems to recommend it, said Id love it and it would change my make-up loving life forever. I put off purchasing it all these years because its so expensive...and I knew that even if I loved it, I cant see myself committing to pay that much on a regular basis every time it ran out. But, I finally broke down and purchased it on Amazon since I have Amazon Prime. And uh...yeah, I dont get it. I mean, sure, it makes my face FEEL good...but as far as the aesthetics of it...its just not there for me. It doesnt keep my make-up on any longer than any other primer...in fact, I dont think this keeps it on nearly as long as E.L.Fs $5 primer for me. It doesnt mask my pores any more than anything else either. So, for the price, theres no way I can give this any more than just 3 stars. Sorry, make-up fanatics...its not for everyone after all.

I have rosacea but I hate wearing heavy foundations to cover it up. I got this in my monthly Birchox to try and I love it! I wear it alone but you can wear it under your foundation. It smooths out my complexion without feeling greasy or heavy. It feels like its going to be greasy when you first put it on but it immediately blends into a nice, matte finish. Dont get me wrong, it doesnt make my rosacea go away completely, but it definitely smooths it out.

I love this product. Make up goes on so much smoother , it’s not greasy. I’ve tried so many brands and this one is the best by far. The cost is very reasonable.

Love it was a little unhappy when I ordered it on prime and received it in 6 days I almost had to but it in a store because I ran out .

I purchased this on a flight while Duty Free Shopping out of boredom. At the time it sounded like something that would come in useful for my trip as it was summer but at the time I had no idea how good it was. Before landing I applied it and then applied my make up. The consistence was lightweight and super smooth. It left my face feeling velvety and not greasy as it was oil free and matte. Due to the time difference we had an extended day and close to 13 hours later my makeup had not melted or smudged. It was still flawless and I only needed to give a light dusting of powder once the entire day. It ready did set my makeup perfectly. By far the best primer currently on the market.

I started using mineral makeup and had a sample of this primer. Wow, how did I makeup before? Im not sure where the notion that primer is supposed to mysteriosuly make pores disappear or shrink, or generally fix flaws that you know, are meant to be covered by makeup, but for what a primer is meant to do, this does it and well. My makeup stays longer and falls smoother on my face and it is instantly mattifying. I have combination, super sensitive skin and this doesnt irritate a thing. When I apply my stuff the places Id rather be covered get covered, I use less, and they stay covered much longer than if Id applied the makeup alone. Will be a staple in my kit from now on.

great base for makeup

This works great for my 65 yr old skin. I won’t use any other primer.

It goes on like silk and your makeup looks great.

Amazing product to wear alone with powder, or under a BB cream or makeup foundation. Its smooth going on, with no oily feeling and washes off easily - yet last all day when you need it to. Best go-to for a clearer, fresher look to wear anywhere you go.
