Great product!
A little goes a long way and considering the price, that's a good thing! Glides on smooth and holds makeup in place, even in humid weather. My only complaint is price but I guess you get what you pay for! Stock up when it's on sale!

would and do buy again and again
I like this primer on its own, as it does its job well. But sometimes for super coverage that doesnt sweat off, I mix it with a bit of benefit porefessional primer, I don't know why but each on their own are great….but together they keep my makeup from sweating off the second I go outside.

Not for oily or uneven skin. Made brown spots black & oily.
So sad. Absolutely awful. Face is super oily in an hour. Makes spots look black or grey. Way expensive.

The best primer #1
After receiving a free sample of this primer, I became enamored with it and subsequently bought the bigger one, which seems to be a better value.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer
I have been getting Ipsy bags of cosmetics they choose for you monthly. This way you tell them your skin tone etc etc and they send things they think you might like or enjoy they ask what kind of sense you like and things such as that. But about the smashbox photo finish primer! I've never really used any other primer and only used it because they sent it to me basically. But I've bought in it about six times and I'm going to try the one that is poor reducing this time. But the primer in general it's such a good thing and I don't even wear base makeup I'm I'm in my '50s and I don't look bad without makeup so I just grown over the past 30 years to not really use any base makeup. I do have oily combination skin and forehead around the eyebrows my nose my chin and sides of my jaw or oily and I have to put moisturizer on them then I use the primer on my forehead my cheek area and my upper lip and my chin between my lips and bottom of my chin basically. It's perfect though it kind of erases imperfections covers blemishes it's clear so don't get me wrong it isn't cover it but it somehow makes it less noticeable and the skin it makes my skin just more beautiful more high-def if that's possible! Haha, 🤣 but seriously, I'd recommend it It's a shame I don't hear more people talking about, and or recommending this! So here ya go! I live in N Central Tx. DFW Metro And I mention that because I do believe the weather has a lot to do with the way people's make up where. And I noticed a lot of people who have given a five-star to this product and the one that's poor reducing live in Texas or in southern hot humid areas.

Love this Primer
I wear this every single day. It blurs and evens out my skin texture. I am 63 years old and I do not wear makeup, and with this product, I don't have to. This primer softens my skin and it lasts all day long. Great product.

Used for Years
I have tried several primers since using this one. I always went back because, at least for me, this one was the best. It leaves my skin so smooth so my foundation goes on easily.
