This absolutely lives up to it's name. As soon as you apply it, you immediately see the blur. My makeup does not separare throughout the day and my face isn't as oily.

Photo Finish
The attached photo is after approximately 12 hours of wear on a naturally oily face, and an extremely sweaty workout. I have fallen in love with this product as well as the eye primer

My new favorite primer
I have never used a primer quite like this. It blurred my pores all day and made my foundation go on so smoothly. I did not experience any peeling at all. All of my other products layered flawlessly on top.

Covers pores good
I think this works better than IL Makiage's Poreless Base Primer. It helps cover up my pores a lot better.

Smooth and silky not grippy
I have older skin and I have loved this for years. A lot of the younger girls I work with prefer grippy foundation where their foundation sticks to it in a certain way, but this allows me to apply my foundation smoothly and it settles in nicely. I put on my foundation and concealer right after I apply this

didn't do what I expected
I bought this on the recommendation of the salesperson. Went in looking for a foundation that wouldn't settle into my wrinkles and pores. Was sold this, a moisturizer and a tinted moisturizer. Not happy with any of the products. The primer doesn't do anything to fill in the wrinkles/pores. I understand that maybe the wrinkles were too deep but then why did they suggest this? The only good thing is that the lady did sell me a smaller size than the one she originally suggested.

meh
Glad I bought the travel size to try it out before I committed to the full size. I have spent less on Ulta's brand of primer. The quality (and price) are much better. It's just not worth the cost.

The ultimate face primer
The ultimate face primer! I used this in my 20s and now going into my 40s. It works the best for my aging skin/under eyes where it lessons the appearance of my eyes lines. My only wish is they’d put this in a spray bottle for a setting spray.

Great for mature skin
Sometimes you don't realize the benefits of a product until you run out of it. I ran out and wasn't able to get to the store for a few days. For those days my skin felt dry and when applying foundation the look was not overall natural.

Wonderful product
After you put your makeup on, a thin layer of Photo Finish is absolutely wonderful. The skin looks so natural and it feels as soft as butter.

Not for textured acne skin
This made my makeup look horrible unfortunately. I preped my skin with a wash and moisturizing treatments to make my makeup smooth upon applying the primer. I have textured and acne prone skin. It did not blur my pores, it did not help my acne get blured either, and it made my makeup cling to every crease and go on patchy. I couldnt get my makeup to stay on my nose or chin and it almsot didnt even allow mt makeup to hug wround my acne. Im stetinf woth Elf Grip Primer. I have photos but it does not give me the option to upload.

Feels wonderful
as everyone says, a little goes a long way. it feels so good going on and keeps my makeup lasting all day. I do love Smashbox's resurfacing formula a little bit better so I will switch back to that after this bottle runs out but this one is also good.

Travel primer
I am a flight attendant and this is my go-to primer to keep my makeup on for HOURS! It makes my foundation smooth over my face. And all of those time zones and long day/night is no match for this primer. It is a repeat purchase for me.
