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.

My favorite primer of all time
It’s pricey but I have yet to find a true dupe for this primer. I have stubborn and very oily skin, after a few hours makeup just slides off. This keeps it in place and matte all day long.

Love this primer. Really helps the foundation stay put. Dries quickly, does not cause breakouts. Love the clear color too.

Doesn't mix with water based products
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great primer! It does have that silicone feel so if you don't like that then this isn't for you. Since most of my products are water based this didn't work well for me.

2/5
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this primer is okay. i prefer the gel primers that i use daily just because they look good with or without makeup on top. this primer was kind of glittery & i didn't like that i couldn't use it on a light make up day. would be nice for a full coverage makeup look though.

Flawless base!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Reminds me a lot of the porefessionals poreless primer. Smooth application. Fills pores and fine lines. And sets the base for a flawless foundation!

Blure all the pores and fines lines.
Everyone who is into makeup like me that I work as a makeup artist know this product ,so what can I say about it a clear color primer that instantly blur all the pores and fine lines in your face ,you can use it under and at the top of foundation without any problems ,it's a must have on every make routine for sure .

Not a fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally like this brand's products but was disappointed in this. First of all, the packaging is not aesthetically pleasing. Second, I did not notice that it worked for me.

Smashbox photo finish !
I got recommended to use this primer and let me tell you … I was shocked on how blurring it looked . For now I got the travel size but I'm definitely using this for my clients 10/10 ! It made a different in my foundation texture so smoothing and demure ahah !

Perfect
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Always a good time with smashbox. I love this primer and how it blurs and works under makeup. Love the finish and packaging. Good coverage and no scent.

It's ok!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The primer does a great job of creating a smooth base for makeup application. It helps blur out minor imperfections and fine lines, which makes my skin look more even. I also found that it gives a subtle glow, making the skin look healthy and hydrated without being overly shiny or greasy. If you have oily skin, this might not be the best product for you because it can feel a bit too slick after a while. It's definitely better suited for dry or combination skin types, where the extra moisture and smoothing effect are more noticeable. While it performs well under makeup, I wouldn't recommend it for people who are prone to breakouts or those looking for something long-lasting, as it might make the skin feel a bit too oily by the end of the day. it's a good option if you're looking for a lightweight oil that helps smooth out your complexion before makeup, but it's not a must-have for everyone.

Smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Texture of this was really nice! Kind of rubbery compared to pore fessional but very smooth and easy to apply. Makeup went on over very nicely and was able to wear all day.
