- Q
Should a primer (hydrating primer) be allowed to dry down before applying foundation. Sometimes my foundation seems to ball up when applied on top of any primer. Should I apply a moisturizer before or after the primerizer hydrating primer?
- Asked by Liz
- Official Answer By Smashbox USGreat question! Apply your Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer + Hydrating Primer with Hyaluronic Acid after your moisturizer as the very last step of your skincare regimen prior to foundation application. Though the primer doesn't necessarily need to "dry down", it should still be relatively well-absorbed with the skin feeling bouncy. If you find that your foundation is pilling, consider cutting down the amount of primer in half to see if that helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q

PhotoFinish Falls Flat..
I have combination skin that suffers from dryness and oily skin. My primary skin concerns is the scars from acne and the occasional acne flair up. The texture of Smashbox's Photo Finish Primerizer+ Hydrating Face Primer was light and airy. It was not dissimilar to the standalone moisture I use for...

I would give this a 4 star. The only reason why I don't think it deserves 5 is because the purple one is way better for my skin. I own a lot of primera and always go back to Smashbox.
