body{margin-left:12%}Product ReviewsRated 4.1 out of 5 stars614 ReviewsMost Helpful Positive ReviewPretty good productI first purchased this primer with a tad bit of skepticism. I use it primarily with either Make Up Forever HD Foundation, Estée Lauder Doublewear Foundation, or Loreal True Match LUMI. It makes your face very soft. It does help keep the foundation on, but not all day. It's about an 8 hour stay. It works best for me with the Make Up Forever Foundation. I wouldn't go out and splurge if you're on a budget or have really dry skin. It definitely has a matte finish and makes me feel dryer than my oily/combination skin usually does. As for the pore reduction, I can't really see where that happens. It's also hard to use a small amount. I find myself squeezing several times to cover my main areas. I feel like you have to use a lot to get results. Overall, it's a good primer, but it's not worth $40+Most Helpful Critical ReviewNope, left powder residue, hard to apply!as a black woman it made my face feel like i had something on it, to me, all primers generally feel clean. Hated the feel to this one, dont like the way it looks - it left a powder on my face that even though i covered with foundation,i still didn't like it! I work in media, i may not try this again:(Reviewed by 614 customersprobably woukld4gramas from seminole, fl.It covers well and its velvety smoothdecent but...4REW from DCit's a great primer but I just can't get over the fact that it smells like corn chips or Doritos. yes it does it's job and it doesn't very well but the smell is just so bizarre.Don't need foundation5Makeupislife from AustinThis is so great! It smooths fine lines and pores and leaves a soft, velvet, matte finish. Most of the time I just use this and nothing else but there are times when I want a full coverage face and then I top it with a setting powder and blush.Yes5Sue from San Diego CAI love itOverall does it's job3Riss from PhiladelphiaMy skin definitely became poreless and felt smoother to the touch, but I noticed splotchiness with powder contour, and dry/flakiness elsewhere after sitting on the face for a bit. Also, I'm not sure if the product was old or if that is just the formula, but it was slightly think and chunky, and I wasted quite a lot from the product straight not clinging to the brush or face and falling to the floor.DOES THE OPPOSITE1Gia from Sacramento, CAThis primer is almost the worst I've ever tried. I gave this the benefit of the doubt, but I soon realized it was making my makeup around my nose look SO CAKEY. And I know it was the primer because my makeup was not doing that before using this. During the day I would blot and look at my skin and the area that it claims to cover - large pores - looked SUPER cakey and pores looked big and gross. I would not recommend, especially for oily skin.Best primer for large pores5Lisa Marie Tuscaloosa, AL from Tuscaloosa, ALI have large pores and this is the only product that reduces the visibility of them! I highly recommend!!I love the feel of this primer on my skin!5Sugar from OhioI use it before my makeup where I have a lot of pores. It smooths out my skin.Not my favorite2Ally from Boca Raton FlThis really did not do muchOriginal is better2midwesterngirl from IllinoisI tried the original which worked well, but didn't seem to control my oil as well as I wanted, so I decided to try this because it's oil free. Big mistake. My face gets so oily using this. I have to constantly blot my face during the day. I'm going back to the original.I would buy again4Mesa from MississippiMorning before makeupBest for under mask!5May102 from TexasMy makeup stays all day even while wearing a mask. I use this and then bake with my powder. I wear my mask for hours and my makeup stays and doesn't rub on the mask too much. Definitely recommend for nights out. Decreases oiliness even in hot and humid Texas weather.Repeat Best Buy!5Lisa says from Keene N.H.Bought it back in the fall, but used it roaringly until this spring. Been wearing it ever since under the masks... perfect! Bought another for me and one for my daughter.love love!!5gma from massachusettsi've been through all of the Smashbox primers and this is the one that has worked best for my oily skin. i've always had a problem with foundation slipping off my nose but not with this primer!I would not buy this product again1Frankie from Clovis, CAHorrible. Leaves "flakes" of product all over face when applied.Makes Pores Look Bigger1Jennifer from Gastonia, NCI don't like this primer at all. It was recommended to me to cover my pores. It made my pores look bigger and the make would slide around. I tried two different brands of foundations and they are high end ones and both would not stay on because of the primer.Great for oily skin5Angela from OhioThis product is amazing with oily skin as well as covering huge pores. Highly recommend!I would not buy this product again2Mature and cute from South CarolinaI thought this would be great as I needed to minimize pres but not so much. the product is pasteyand does not go on well. Not like the regular version.Perfection5Perfection from USAI've tried a lot of pore minimizing primers, but this one always takes the cake!! Nothing fills in my pores more than this baby. I will never be without thisAwesome primer !5Rose from Ft. Lauderdale, FLI was searching for a primer that is good for people with oily skin and large pores. When I read about Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Minimizing Primer I gave it a try. I am now completely hooked. This primer is absolutely the best. It looks thick and chalky but totally absorbs natural oils leaving a platform for easy foundation/concealer/highlights application. You can use it over a moisturizer but wait at least 2 minutes in between applying the moisturizer and the primer. My makeup looks flawless for 10-12 hours. I recently went to an outdoor wedding (hot and humid). No touch-up needed. So whether you have a 5 minutes or 30 minutes makeup routine regimen, this primer should be your go to primer.I don't like2Rita from Longmont coI don't like this primer it's make my skin dry especially my nose area.its said good for oily skin but not for my oily skinPricey but worth it5Indira from Dallas TexasIt's definitely worth every penny.Absolutely Amazing!5beauty obsessed from Duluth, MinnesotaI have huge pores and this product blurs them to almost nothing! I also have combo skin that can get super oily, and I've never been able to find a product that can actually control my oil. This product makes my skin virtually oil free for at least 8 hours! I barely use powder anymore and my foundation looks less cakey and much smoother!Abracadabra... Pores Be Gone5Vanessa from Pickerington, OHBest pores reducing primer I have used. Gave a very flawless finish that lasted all day.WOW!5NLT from Clinton Twp., MIReally liked this product.
