Really great primer for everyday use!
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. Smashbox is a makeup brand that I grew up loving, and I remember their primers being well-loved and talked about in the online beauty spaces. Now that I've finally gotten to test one out, I understand the hype. This primer fills and smooths...

I always used the minimize pores primer and now that it's discontinued, tried this. Doesn't do anything compared to minimize pores primer. So disappointed. Will be on the search for a new primer unfortunately.
Great makeup base!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It's been a while since I've used Smashbox photo finish primer, so I jumped at the chance to give their Pore-Vanishing Primer a go. It still has that silky smooth texture that glides on the skin so easily. I was a little apprehensive about layering it with the rest of my skincare and makeup routine, but I applied it after moisturizer and before foundation and had no issues. My finished look was more refined and had a smoother slime texture look than without using the product. Loved the final look.
Must have!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Seriously love this product. Makes my make up application (which is fairly simple) so much smoother and lasts longer. Must have in my make up bag!
Miss the old formula

I have loved this product for years but when I got my new order, I discovered the formula has been changed. It is no longer a neutral beige matte formula but now a clear liquidy gel. My skin doesn't look nearly as smooth or flawless with this old formula. Please bring back the old color and formula!
New formula…
The old formula was my favorite for pore minimizing and I have used it for years till I ran out and have to try the new formula. It has very little ability to control oil and it doesn't even or brigthen skin tone like the old version did. A couple hours later being in the park, my face looked greasy and all the pores were laughing out loud… I will be looking for another product while try to finish these 4 tubes I already bought….
