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

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.

Many 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

The 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.

I have been using this product for several years. It helps my makeup go on more smoothly and last longer . I have learned it works better when I wait ten minutes or so after applying it before I apply my makeup. The makeup seems to last longer. I have tried less expensive primers, but even though this is expensive I feel it is worth it.

I had a sample which I used up. This is exactly the same as my sample. Its clear, feels velvety and goes on smoothly. It diminishes the look of my pores without using any make up over it. Love, love, love it!

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.

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

It’s a great base for foundation. It makes your skin feel satiny.

You only need a little bit and it works all day. The texture is so silky. I LOVE this product!

As a primer this does a very good job and the bottle had lasted me a really, really long time. Definitely makes the face matte in appearance and somewhat blurs pores. I often just put this over clean skin to go out without foundation. The only negative is that it doesn’t make a very good eye primer for me, I prefer to just have my primers be all in one. It’s a little too clear and too thin to be a good eyeshadow base.
