- 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
- Asked by Kris
- Official Answer By Smashbox USThanks for reaching out! This may be due to the use of excess products. Using a pea-size amount of Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Shine Control Primer on moisturized skin is recommended. We hope this helps!Was this answer helpful to you

What is the difference between this product and the Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer? Their descriptions and purposes seem the same.
- Asked by Sierrbear
- Official Answer By Smashbox USGreat question! The Pore-Vanishing Primer focuses on blurring and minimizing pores, while the Control Mattifying Primer is better for oily skin thanks to its salicylic acid and stronger oil control.Was this answer helpful to you

Love product but didn't realize it came untinted
I bought a little mini trial tube of this primer some time ago. It was tinted and I loved that because it didn't require additional makeup to cover pores and blemishes. This product feels like a dream on your skin! That said...I returned to Ulta recently to purchase another tube. Not realizing it came in both "tinted" & "clear" I grabbed a larger box/tube this time. Imagine my dissapointment when I didn't get the same coverage when I applied it. A suggestion...maybe make the boxes reflect the fact that 1 is tinted and the other not? Bottom line: I would recommend BUT I would also stress that there is "Tinted" & "clear". Also, if you'd like to send me a free tube of the tinted it would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
Highly recommended

I loved the thick clay like formula that was tinted, this one does not fill in large pores as well.
now my go to primer
this is the first primer that I've tried that actually blurs the pores; mattifies nicely as well
Easy addition to routine

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Easy application. No residue or weird smell. My foundation applied very smooth on top and staying flawless all day. I would definitely purchase this in the future
