Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence - Ulta Beauty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It comes in a pray bottle. Easy to use spray primer. Blends really well with my foundation. Gives a brightest finish after using and also skin looks hydrated. Packaging is good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep this in my bag for a great midday refresh after the gym or work before heading out for the evening. Scent is subtle but clean, and it leaves my skin and makeup feeling hydrated and ready to continue!

A clean feeling, effective primer. Love how lightweight and versatile this primer is for before AND after makeup application. Feels great on your skin but not the most effective for keeping makeup in place.

Overall it's an okay primer, but definitely doesn't perform at the price point. Save you money. There's literally hundreds of other primers that perform much better, for more cheaper. I'm going to keep using it since I have it and don't like waste, but I definitely would not repurchase.

My skin gets super dry in the cold winter months so my skincare has to be on point & that includes a face primer. One of my favorite's was the Smashbox Primer Oil which apparently has been discontinued. I picked up the new 8 in 1 Primer Essence hoping it would be a good replacement. I didn't pay much attention to the actual product & was surprised & a bit disappointed to find it was a primer spray. I haven't had great luck with sprays in the past & typically avoid them but I was to lazy to return it so have it a try. That was a few months ago. Since then I have gone through a few bottles of this stuff & can't live without it now. My makeup has never looked so fantastic! It also stays put all day even in the worst heat & humidity. After my regular skincare I apply Bobbi Brown Face Base or Lorac Dewy Canvas Prep then spritz the Primer Essence on & let dry. I haven't had a bad makeup day regardless of the foundation I used since I started using this stuff. It's by far the best primer spray I've used over the years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome primer that can be used before and after your make up use. I love that it is very light when spraying on your face.

As someone with normal/dry skin this is a great spray. I like to use it as a working spray between layers while I do my makeup. It's a fine mist that applies evenly and really helps melt all my makeup together. I would buy it again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a free sample just in time for my sisters wedding, and it worked wonderfully! My makeup stayed out all day from photos through dancing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't have much to compare thia product to as it is only the 2nd of it's kind that I have tried and used regularly but I like it because it really does prime, set, and hydrate. My favorite thing about this paeticular spray, though, is the fact that it sprays a fine mist; this is unlike the other setting spray I've used. The only thing I wish were different was that it'd leave your skin dewey but that might defeat the purpose of this setting spray being ideal for photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice, pre-foundation spray. It's relatively hydrating, but it does require a number of sprays to get adequate coverage. It does not do a whole lot else besides that. I didn't notice any bluring, pore minimizing, or wrinkle reduction when using this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so lightweight but still very hydrating. I don't break out with acne plus it gives me a glow and doesn't go into my wrinkles almost fills and gives a nature look. This is the best primer for make up I ever found. It gives me a very smooth base on which to apply my concealer and stays smooth for hours with no caking. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used this as a primer and it held my makeup thru an 8 hour work day. I have also used this as a setting spray and my makeup held up pretty well, only needed a touch up during the day but that's normal for me. I don't have any complaints and will continue to experiment with this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. It goes on smooth and feels nice on my skin. My makeup looks silky smooth. I've never really used a makeup setting spray but it works amazing. I would definitely buy this again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is by far the best setting spray I've ever used! it makes my makeup stay perfect even through this Florida humidity and heat! I wish the sprayer wya better quality because sometimes the spray is too heavy but other than that it's perfect!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought it was a pretty good product. I like how it could be used in multiple ways. The only thing I really disliked was the fragrance.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm super impressed with this primer. I have combo skin and live in the south. It smoothes out my skin and holds up really well in humid weather. Love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was excited to try this as I currently use a setting spray to keep my makeup looking good all day. This seemed to hold up to the challenge but required more product than I am used to. My make up seemed to last. Using as an essence I felt it took a lot to absorb in and left my skin wanting more than it provided. It did have a light scent that quickly disappeared upon application.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a good primer spray. It does have a rose scent so if you're sensitive to that sort of smell then this is not for you. It can also be used as a setting spray which I think was effective. Good for all skin types. It did feel hydrating and refreshing. I would keep using this product as I'm a big fan of multi tasking products. I love that it wasn't oily like many primera can feel. I felt like my makeup lasted longer while using this spray.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really liked this setting spray. I have oily skin and my eye makeup normally melts halfway through the day even with eyeshadow primer. The Photo Finish Revitalize Primer Essence actually does a great job with keeping my makeup in place throughout the day and I love all the other skincare benefits that comes with it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pros and the only pro was I liked how it felt spraying on my face before my make up. Other than that, this did nothing for me. Not a fan of the scent and to me made my makeup cakes feeling after spraying after my application of foundation.
