- Q
SPF? If not, when to apply?
- Asked by Gina
- Official Answer By Smashbox USThank you for the opportunity to assist! Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Blurs Pores Primer does not provide sun protection. For a smooth, flawless complexion and SPF, we recommend applying the primer first, followed by the Smashbox Halo Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 25.Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
I have never had this problem with the other pore minimizer, but after i apploy it, I have to blend it in, or it will literally crumb off my face, and mess up my makeup. Why is it doing that? Are you suppose to put it on and then let it sit for a few minutes? I never had that problem with the other pore minimizer, so it is weird. It like just clumps together and rolls of the face

Smoothing Primer for Full Face Makeup

I have dry, mature skin and this primer is perfect for when I want to wear a full face of makeup. It blurs pores without clogging or drying out my skin. I use it with my traditional foundations and skip it with skin tints that need to soak in a bit more. It's a great pore-filling primer and I would repurchase it again! I received this product for free to review.
So disappointed old formula was discontinued

The previous formula was my go to. Made my skin so flawless I didn't even need foundation and I have really large pores. I really wanted to like this and it sucks I have to find a new primer :( No idea why they discontinued such an amazing product. I still have a little left and am hoarding it for special occasions
Nice product

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really loved the sleek packaging. Admittedly I don't typically use primer as I'm prone to getting oily throughout the day, but I have enjoyed this product so far.
Best kept secret!
For my big pores and oily girls this primer is for you, a little goes a long way, love the texture it's smooth like butter, leaves skin feeling like a new born baby, definitely recommend
Smooth finish and blurs!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This primer has a smooth, lightweight consistency that applies easily and blends well into the skin. It noticeably blurs pores and creates a more even base without feeling heavy or greasy. I like that it doesn't leave a residue or pill when layering foundation on top. My makeup looks smoother right after application and stays looking more polished throughout the day. It wears well without breaking down or emphasizing texture, especially in areas where pores are more visible. Overall, it gives a clean, soft-focus finish.
