OMG it's amazing!
I recommended the original photo finish primer to a client before her daughter's wedding. But it was out of stock when she went shopping, so she bought this. The next time I saw her I commented on how great her makeup looked, and she told me that all she was wearing was the photo finish illuminate primer and nothing else. I literally ran to buy it. I've been looking for something for ages that can give me a 5 minute make up routine in the mornings, so I don't look "made up" but i do look like i made an effort. This is it. It gives a gentle glow to my skin, plumps wrinkles and erases some of my pores. I use this, a little blush or bronzer, mascara and something on my lips. And I look great every single day! Have already purchased two more so I never run out.

Great primer
This primer adds a subtle glow to my skin. It goes on easily and doesnt cause me to break out like most moisturizers do.

Very Nice
I bought it through Ipsy shop and it is beautiful. It hydrates my sensitive skin, and has a radiant finish. I haven't have any allergic reactions or problems using it under my makeup. I also use it by itself when I don't want to put makeup on.

- Skin tone: Light
- Skin type: Oily
- Skin concern: Dullness
Looks obviously used. Had to wipe the operating with rubbing alcohol.
Looks obviously used! So disappointed. No safety seal for a 'prestige' item. Product glob spilling over upon opening. So disappointed.

Tinted
While this did the job to make my makeup application smoother and last longer, it did cause breakouts and redness all over my face. I've used various Smashbox primers over the last 20 years and this was the first to do that. It's also tinted, which personally I did not like.

Best primer to mix with matte foundation!
I was on the hunt for a great luminous foundation and sadly didn't find one that I liked, but I did find that this primer mixes well with my Estée Lauder foundation making it luminous but not dewy. I love this product and hope it never gets discontinued!

My Go To Primer
I've tried other primers but this one is in my opinion the best. It smooth going on and my makeup looks flawless. My look has staying power throughout the day with no touch ups needed.

Glowy Primer
It makes my skin look radiant, but I noticed some pore settling after two hours. I think there are better primers, but I will use this one for a while.

ACTUALLY WORKS!
I absolutely love this product! I have tried so many concealers and color correctors but nothing ever worked!! I'm pretty fair skin so my dark under eyes are very noticeable when makeup free. This blends perfectly so i can wear alone or with my undereye concealer. Highly recommend!

Perfect pallet in the go!
I bought this pallet because I was looking for a new contour pallet and brozer that would be easy to travel with. I didn't expect the under eyes setting powder to be so amazing and the highlighter has became my go to. I instantly got added to my daily routine, I use it every day to bronze up to add a little highlight or even set my under eye. It's my favorite under eye powder. This is definitely a must try and it blends perfectly. I do wish the blush was maybe a little bit lighter, but it's still really good. Very pigmented.

My favorite and must have
This is the first contouring palette I ever bought two years ago. I've bought a couple others since then just to compare. And this is by far my favorite! I love the shine and glow it gives my skin. I get compliments all the time.

new holy grail
i have very dark genetic under eye circles that are extremely hard to cover up. the first time i used this i was shocked by how much brighter my under eyes looked. they've never looked this good. it also works amazingly well to cover up the melasma-like birthmark on my forehead.

Great palette for a beginner ✨
As somone new to makeup I found this palette to be forgiving (blendable and buildable) and straightforward with the instructions. I purchased this palette at 50% off which is definitely a great deal as the price originally scared me off as a newbie. My more experienced friends say it's a good deal if going for that sunkissed everyday Cali look but is more limiting for other looks.
