Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
This is the first primer I've ever tried & honestly do not notice any difference in my foundation staying on longer or going on smoother. Luckily I just got a sample of it. I'll continue searching.

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
I haven't used a primer before and the gal at the store recommended it. She said it was the absolute best for your value, and that it lasts a while. I am amazed at how great it helps during the day when my skin usually gets oily in the T-zone area. It is great (some days better than others, hence the "4")

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
I love this product. It's very light weight and you wonder how it can make such a difference under your foundation but it truly does. My makeup is flawless all day. Even at my age I have oil slicks in the summer and it works like magic. In the winter when my skin is dry, I just put a tinted moisturizer (inexpensive Physicians Formula Organics) on afterwards and I'm good to go. I only then need to use foundation for special occasions. Even though it's pricey, a little goes a long way. It lasts me at least 2-3 months with almost daily use.

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
This primer is amazing. And Ive tried quite a few.I dont get oily shine spots throughout the day, and my foundation goes on so smooth & stays. Ill never try another primer again. Its definitely worth the money.

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
I bought this after reading good reviews and seeing that ulta described this as being more for oily skin. I have a very oily T-zone and this didnt really do anything outstanding. It did feel really silky to the touch and went on smoothly but a couple hours later my nose and forehead were still oily as usual.

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
A little goes a long way! I use one dab and I'm good to go:)-I have sensitive and acne prone skin. I use my moisturizer first, let it settle and then the primer. Usually all my make-up would disappear by mid-day but after i bought this product everything changed. I don't have to reapply my make-up, which is great!

Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light:
This product is nice with the right foundation. It does not work well with my Clinique foundation, leaves my face looking streaky. My Maybelline foundation it works just fine with nice smooth coverage. Trial and error I guess.
