- Q
is it good for dry skin or is it mattifying?
- Asked by Angie
- Official Answer By Smashbox USGreat question! This primer is more blurring than mattifying - it’s lightweight, oil-free, and designed to smooth the look of pores while gripping makeup for up to 12 hours. If you have dry skin, you can definitely use it, but we recommend prepping with a good moisturizer first for the best, most comfortable finish.Was this answer helpful to you
- 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
- Q
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

Good but original better
Would only recommend if skin is lightly oily. Works great on pours an as a base for make up to go on smoothly.
Can you say filter in real life!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. This primer works so well. It glides on like butter and literally makes your pores vanish before your eyes. After you apply this you are left with a smooth base ready for any makeup application. It's like wearing a filter in real life. The packaging is nice and simple, which I like and it is fragrance free. This also locked in my makeup so well. *chefs kiss*

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Ummm is this a joke? It did absolutely nothing for my pores or overall makeup application or appearance. I have larger pores and have used products that actually reduce the appearance of them and provide a smoother surface for my foundation, but this was just a watery lotion!
Great for oily skin!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Primer has become my new favorite primer. It applies very smoothly like a moisturizer. I have oily combination skin and this product helps minimize my pores. It helps mattify my face so my makeup on stay on longer without needing to touch up as often with powder. A little does go a long way and you only need a pea size amount. Absolutely love this primer!
Blurring but not long lasting

I really enjoy the texture of this primer. It has a silicone feel and is smooth to apply. It does really minimize the appearance of my pores and makes my face look matte within the initial 1 to 2 hours of wear. I can wear my foundation for around 5 hours total with this primer before it starts breaking down (i have oily skin for reference). However, that's around the usual span of time I can wear my makeup with any other primer. So while I think the blurring and initial mattifying properties of the primer are nice, I wouldn't purchase this primer if you are wanting to extend the longevity of your makeup.
