For gel & cream formulas like the original Photo Finish Primer, start by squeezing a pea sized amount onto finger tips and smooth over clean, moisturised skin. Applying to the centre of your face, work your way out ensuring the product is massaged into skin until it is absorbed.

You’ve perfected your smokey eye, only to have your lid get greasy and move it around, the Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer is designed to keep your eyeshadow and eyeliner in place. Thanks for your review! Very informative… I saw this new product via Sephora and was googling review on this product. Definitely a pass for me as I have dry and sensitive skin. Great Help!!!

As it's water-based, the Photo Finish Primer is perfect for acne-prone or oily skin types, giving you a really clean finish that isn't high-shine or over-hydrating like some other primers on the market. Does primer fill in wrinkles? Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer Water is a versatile product with a formula that enhances its multiple uses. To help you see how it performs in each situation, I've broken my review down by purpose.To prime: Let it be known that I don’t go for primers usually. I like to glow underneath my makeup, but anything too grippy or silicone-y sends me running. However, this water mist almost feels weightless and leaves the skin smooth and plump. Applying makeup afterwards was a breeze, and not once did it feel like I had a heavy, pore-clogging base. I would definitely use this again. The best primers stop foundation or concealer from setting inside the lines on your face, making them less visible throughout the day – if that's filling in wrinkles, then yes, they do something like that. Enriched with a dose of Caffeine to calm the skin, MAC Prep + Prime Natural Radiance has been developed specifically for oily and combination skin types to restore balance and create the perfect, smooth base for makeup application.

Although, you can also wear primer by itself on no-makeup days, just to give yourself a more even complexion. Once you have cleansed your face and applied your moisturiser, the next step is putting on primer. Always before your make-up – you should see it as a base coat that's there to keep your foundation in place and looking fabulous. My studio secret for major impact lashes that pop in photos? Primer! It makes such a huge difference-I never apply mascara without it.” – Lori Taylor Davis, Global Pro Lead Artist. The Photo Finish Primer was originally created by Smashbox to reduce the amount of time spent having to touch up beauty shots, by giving models a 'Photo Finish' before the camera had even got going.I agree with the previous comment. The mineral ingredients are probably what caused the mattifying effect. The diamond powder might add a slightly luminous look, but that isn’t from moisturizing. And fragrance, limonene, and linalool are known irritants to skin. This is a pass for me. Some primers are so hydrating that they can double as a moisturiser which is the only scenario when you would apply it straight after cleansing, if you're not planning on using any other face creams. Where can I buy Smashbox primer? The Smashbox Photo Finish Super Light primer is the perfect base for foundation Is primer applied before or after moisturiser? my pleasure Katherine, might I suggest these for a super hydrating facial mist: https://www.musingsofamuse.com/2014/02/hydrating-facial-mists-recommendations.html That’s weird. You’re going to head in store anyway and see them lol! unfortunately the ones I recommend have some fragrance in them 🙁 Juice beauty does make one without fragrance but I can’t recommend it, never tried it 🙁 but maybe give that a whirl!? It’s available at ulta! My skin is normal to combination but prone to dehydration. When it comes to makeup and the way I like my skin to look, my preference is definitely dewy (so much that it errs on the shiny side), so any makeup products that are hydrating and luminous are right up my alley. This is probably why I like setting mists so much—they add a final layer of moisture.

WE GREW OUT OF AN ACCLAIMED LA PHOTO STUDIO, WHERE ONLY TOUCHUPS KILLED THE VIBE. ENTER: THE ORIGINAL SMOOTH + BLUR PRIMER. Such is the case with the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. Not only does it prep and hydrate the skin prior to makeup application, but it works as a setting spray and refreshing mist as well. Think of it as a lightweight, hydrating, one-and-done skin treatment that you can call on multiple times a day for a range of reasons, knowing it will deliver every time. Thanks for the review. I wondered about this. I have combo but more dry skin and I was debating on this one. I also have large pores and am thinking about the pore minimizing primer they have out. Do you like it that one? Also, what misting/setting spray would you recommend that’s alcohol free but sets makeup and can be used throughout the day? I use skindinavia but it has alcohol and I’m trying to get away from using alcohol on my face. Thanks! I echo the above comments. And great review btw. This is a big pass for me. I really thought this was some revolutionary primer, and given that its silicone-free, I was anxious to try it. But it sounds like fragranced water to me too. Such a misleading name IMO.Refresh and prep your skin in one simple step with the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. Misting your skin with a veil of moisture to create a smooth and hydrated canvas for makeup, the ultra-fine spray absorbs instantly into the skin and energises the complexion with a blend of revitalising electrolytes.
