A Love Story from an Acne Prone Gym Goer

PHOTO: The attached photo is after approximately 12 hours of wear on a naturally oily face, and an extremely sweaty workout. I have fallen in love with this product as well as the eye primer. I went to Ulta in search for a new foundation because I thought that my Tarte, powder foundation couldn't h...

Not for Oily Skin

This is the worst primer I have ever used. I have an oily tzone, makeup slides off my nose very easily. I use Estee Lauder's Doublewear makeup and needed something to prime with. Previously, I had been using Benefit's Porefessional, which is decent for dabbing on problem pore areas. I bought sa...

So great for a primer for foundation. It goes on smoothly and not thick or caked on. And I don't use nearly as much product. Highly recommend.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Works with so many foundations

Ive worn this with many different brand foundations and this primer works so well with them! Its a silcone based primer (hence the blurring) so keep that in mind when matching. I have dry skin but get oily around my nose and this does a great job of balancing those issues and keeping the foundations looking good over the day. Worn it for years and will continue to.

How to use this product ?
Asked by Beauty
Official Answer By Smashbox US
We’re glad you asked! Smooth a pea-sized amount over clean skin with your fingertips, working out from the center of the face. Wait 15 seconds before makeup for that flawless, soft-focus effect. Wear alone or under makeup for an IRL filter glow every day!Was this answer helpful to you

Does this primer cause flashback on camera flash? Has anyone use for your wedding day and what foundation did you use with this primer?

Lots of brides and artists use it for wedding days because it smooths, grips, and stays camera-ready. Just pair it with your go-to foundation, and you’re set for photos.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
I don't wear heavy makeup but do use a color corrector in parts of my face, then some concealer. Do I need to put primer on all of my face, or can I use it for smaller sections?
Asked by Di
Official Answer By Smashbox US
The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer acts as your real-life filter. Use it daily for a blurred, soft-focus effect on your skin—wear it alone or underneath makeup. You don’t need to apply it everywhere; spot prime only where you want smoothing and blurring.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Can you use this with powder foundation?
Asked by Roo
