      I am returning this product. I was lead to believe that this would tone down brown spots. There is absolutely no coverage and it gives my foundation a pink tone.

        This is a great product for getting a neutral tone for your face. It helps with smoothing your face so that it is easier to apply your foundation. I love it!

            Comments about Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Balance:

            The primer is lightweight and goes on smoothly. However, I honestly don't notice a difference in my skintone -- no brightening effect. However, my foundation does seem lighter (in color) after using this primer, which makes me look pale. I believe there are much better primers available, especially considering the price of this one. I definitely won't be repurchasing.

            I use this as a primer before applying Smashbox High Definition Foundation. It helps brighten my sallow natural skin tone and it is a perfect base for applying foundation. Using any Smashbox primer helps reduce the appearance of large pores and fine lines.

            goes on easily, doesn't flake, nice silky feeling, allows foundation to go on evenly and smoothly

            a bit pricey but you get what you pay for

                I love many of the Smashbox products, but could have done without this one. I see no difference to my face after application. Used as directed. Is a spdisappointment.
