WHY you SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BUY & utilize this PRIMER!IMER!
I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes. First & foremost, primer is essential if you're like me & live day-to-day w/ combo, but mostly dry, mature skin that still requires just a little something extra... Well look no further, bc this is it! I have mostly dry, mature skin with the occasional day I may have to switch up & alter my routine. But with Smashbox's OG- Original Photo Finish Primer, the Smooth & Blur Primer edition, I've finally filled the vacancy product my skin & face didn't even realized it NEEDED! It's packed with all the awesomeness needed in one single product by prepping your face perfectly into a "canvas-ready" to apply any daily makeup routine. It's great for a simple, & super easy to utilize into my daily AM routine and then toss it in my bag for a quick touch up on-the-go for when that complete 'glam' up for the evening is needed for an exciting night out!! Better yet, the product does exactly as it claims to do, but better bc it completely blurrs out the majority of those pesky small fine lines, but also softens the depth of deeper lines, yet, all the while keeping small & large size pores consistently blurred, & completely unnoticeable! RUN, DO NOT WALK, to Definitely get your hands on this Smashbox primer version that's often referred to a its 'cult-classic.' Moreso, if you haven't tried Smashbox's Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur primer formula, it's highly recommended as soon as you're able to! It applies super silky, while easily blurring & smoothing out my uneven skin texture too, & yet remaining lightweight & non-Pilling for my entire 12 hr shift too! It gives a velvety soft & smooth canvas that I can wear solo, or layer it within my makeup ritual. It aligns w/ personal preferences in utilizing products that are both Vegan & cruelty-free. And w/ having Vitamins A & E to help nourish my skin-barrier, it's now a must have for me. But try it for yourself, as you won't regret it!

Amaaaazing
I've been using the Smashbox primer for a few weeks now, and it's quickly become a staple in my routine. It feels incredibly lightweight and breathable on the skin, which I love because it doesn't feel heavy or clog my pores. My makeup goes on smoother and stays put much longer throughout the day, even in humidity. I also appreciate that it helps create a soft, blurred finish without looking overly matte or dry. It really does what it promises—enhancing the overall look and longevity of my makeup while still feeling comfortable on the skin. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

New Target practices
I'm really surprised that Target would sell a tester at full price!! It showed all the wear and tear of being a tester with visible signs of being used. It had the "test me" label still on it with stains. Absolutely brazen trying to pass that off as new.

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.

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.

Nice little contour kit!!
I recieved the Step-by-Step contour pallette and just used it today. I thought it was cream based but its actually powder. It has little instructions of where to put which color so it's pretty new user friendly. It has good color pigment and doesnt go on too heavy but can still look a little dry on ur skin, it isnt a more natural look, definitely more heavier look. But overall makes a nice little contour package and spruces up the face features to give some definition. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes."

Love
I absolutely love this primer! It smooths my skin instantly and blurs pores beautifully without feeling heavy. My makeup sits so evenly on top and lasts the entire day. The texture is silky, lightweight, and truly makes a difference — especially on busy mornings. Highly recommend!

Does what it says
Received this to try; it does what it says! I applied a pea sized amount to my tzone and whatever was leftover everywhere else. It made my pores disappear, didn't make my combination/oily skin more oily. Also didn't pill so that was great. Makeup application was smooth. Didn't notice any breakouts after using this for several days in a row. Will keep using and would recommend!

Awesome Primer!
Smashbox pore primer is excellent to cover imperfections, pores and lines. The texture is clear and lightweight. It has vitamin A & E. Its smooth texture is refreshing on skin. I received this product for free for my review.

Solid as a rock
To me, this is a nice old school primer. Remember when a primer was just like a silicone smooth base? That's kind of what this gives. It's a matte no bells and whistles primer. I think the brand has since released some variations on this fan fave to customize to your skin needs. I don't notice this being anymore blurring then the regular photo finish to be honest.
