I have fallen in love with this product as well as the eye primer. I went to Ulta in search for a new foundation because I thought that my Tarte, powder foundation couldn't handle sweat (I walk a mile to and from my office in Florida) because it would embed in creases and looked horrible. Boy was I wrong! I asked an employee to recommend a new foundation that would work better for sweat, oily, and acne prone skin. She told me that my current foundation is what she would recommend, but that I should you a primer. I must confess, I thought she was a bit crazy, but now I am a BELIEVER in the wonder that is Photo Finish Primer. How I use it and what I use it with: I cleansed and moisturized my face, applied the primer with my fingertips, applied my foundation (Tarte Airbrush full coverage), blush, and Tarte Smooth Operator (this likely contributed to my good experience). I went about my day, including the gym where I SWEAT WATERFALLS down my face. When I got to my car and looked in the mirror, I was in shock to see that my makeup was still fairly FLAWLESS! After all of the sweat my face had less of a matte finish and more of a dewy finish, but my personal results have been amazing. If anything changes I will update this review.Most Helpful Critical ReviewNot for Oily SkinThis is the worst primer I have ever used. I have an oily tzone, makeup slides off my nose very easily. I use Estee Lauder's Doublewear makeup and needed something to prime with. Previously, I had been using Benefit's Porefessional, which is decent for dabbing on problem pore areas. I bought sample of the smashbox primer, because everyone raved about it on Youtube. I found it applied fine and made makeup apply smoothly. BUT It actually descreased the wear time I got from my Doublewear. My nose was an oil slick by 3 hours in the work day. It also caused me to break out around my chin. I never break out and I'm not too sensitive to products, but this did cause small bumps to pop up. I have found a primer that works, however. Loreal's Infalliable Setting spray is a dream. Spritz before makeup, apply face, spritz again. Done! It leaves your skin looking doll like, a plus for my heavy coverage makeup. It also set my nose makeup perfectly. No sliding.Reviewed by 2512 customersThe Very Best!!!5Meemz from SLC, UtahThis is truly the best primer! I've tried many to make sure...there isn't one that comes close.Best Product for Makeup Primer5Tootie from Sun City West AzThis is one product I would not be without. It leaves your skin so soft and Makes your foundation go on so smoothly. It's the best primer I've ever used.I've tried other brands, but always return to this one!5Khart from Boca Raton, FloridaSmash-box photo-finish pore minimizing primer sample size is great for travel and lasts several days to two weeks , depending on how much or how often you apply. Feels silky smooth and has been my go to staple for many years.Pores still visible2JLew from TNActually enhanced pores rather than blurring them.Only Primer I have found that works.5FordGirl from Maple Valley, WAThis is the easiest, most effective primer that I have ever used. There isn't another that I have tried that was worth the cost.I would buy it again but this time the full size5Laura from Salina ksI like the way my makeup looksI tried it and i like like it5Mimi from FloridaI am just starting to use a primer so I have nothing to compare it to. I sweat at work so today will be the real test.Best Primer for Oily Skin5Lauren from PerrysburgI have never found a primer that smooths and blurs my skin like this one. When I don't wear makeup, it keeps me from being shiny and acts like a filter over my skin. When I do wear makeup, it goes in noticeably smoother and stays matte longer than before I used this primer. I will never use another primer in my life.Horrible1lils from AZThis caused me to break out with cyctic acne, every single time I used it....i am very good about washing my makeup off at night and I still caused those horrid pimples deep underneath my skin that would take ages to clear up. Did not really keep my makeup in place and my face was very oily at the end of the day, definitely did not work for me.NOT for acne prone skin3Cass from CaliforniaThis is good for areas of my skin that aren't prone to acne, but it irritated my acne and caused small little bumps to form. My forehead is super textured now!Just alright.3krnorman87 from MNI wanted to love this primer but it caused me to break out. I loved how silky it felt and it went on very nicely. Helped keep foundation from settling into fine lines around my eyes and kept my makeup fresh all day. But two days in, I have little acne bumps all over my face. This primer is the only thing I changed in my face routine. It's sad because everything else about it is great. Just not worth the acne for me.I WOULD BUY THIS AGAIN5Missy from MuskegonLove how it makes my skin and makeup feel on my faceLOVE IT5Ajay91 from Medford oregonI LOVE this one, I have the purple pore min. Also but this one is my absolute favorite. It's non oily and once applied it doesn't take very long before it sets and you can start your foundation which is great in the mornings!Picture perfect!5Natural Glow 101 from Laurel, MDThis product is awesome !! I've tried other primers but they caused my skin to become drier. I have eczema so, my skin is already dry. It's very lightweight and non greasy but, covers wellCaused Small Bumps On The Face2Sofia from Sacramento, CAI loved how the primer set my makeup without smudging all day, but I noticed that after I'd wash off my makeup, I'd have small bumps on the face. I have sensitive, oily skin and this only made my skin feel worse. I'd apply a small dab of the primer, but my face still managed to feel a little greasy. I tried it out because of the the positive reviews, but you don't know if it's for you until you try it.Okay3Abi from New JerseyFelt really nice, light and smooth going on. Not really sure how much it worked though. I definitely still noticed pores so definitely didn't completely smooth everything out.Great for dry skin!5Katie from Dearborn, MII have extremely dry skin and eczema, so finding a good primer to keep my skin moisturized and to even out the texture is difficult. This has more of an oily feel to it, but it glides on super smooth and doesn't feel oily on my face. I highly recommend for anyone with dry skin!Great Product but...4Reasonable Reviewer from Canton MichiganI have been experiencing tiny bumps on my forehead from using this product. I have since stopped applying it to my forehead and these issues came to a halt. This is a wonderful product , probably not suited for super sensitive skin. I will look for something more for acne prone skin, but for folks with normal skin this is your holy grail!I love this stuff.5Funny girl from MississippiI use this under my foundation.OMG!5Liz C from Black Diamond, WAWho wouldn't LOVE this product! Best stuff since 'sliced bread' - an old saying! Feels great on the skin and allows any makeup to glide on smoothly, stay in place and wear wonderfully all day long! I work 12-hours+ a day and I no longer need to refresh my makeup during my break times.Gave me little bumps...:(3EB from MIDDLETOWN NYReally wanted to love this primer, it feels so good on the skin a glides on like a dream but I Kept getting these little bumps on my skin especially my forehead and cheek area I thought maybe it was something with my skin routine but when I asked other people who I knew used this primer they said that they had the same problem. Maybe it just doesn't work on certain skin types:(would not buy again1Abby from Astoria, oregonI have pores around my nose and it did not do anything even after my estee lauder foundation I can still see so many pores. So upset because it was pretty priceyI love the photo finish primer! By Samshbox!5Chelle from Murfreesboro,TNI love the line of Smashbox! I use the foundation and concealer so I had to try the primer. Awesome Line!Like Silk!5Carebear from Summerville, SCThis primer feels like silk on my skin. My foundation glides on top for a flawless look.FLAWLESS skin!!5Shelby from Huntsville, alI've been wanting this product for a while, and finally decided to purchase. Absolutely the best money I've ever spent on primer!! This made my skin look flawless and I received so many compliments on my skin while wearing it! Would absolutely buy again.
