Smashbox Foundation Primer Reviews

This is absolutely the best product I have gotten turned onto in years! It glides on your skin, feels like silk, sets your foundation and gives you a polished look without looking too "done". I was first leary about adding another step to my daily makeup regiem, but was finding that by end of the day, my foundation was fading into my skin. I don't know what is better about this product, the silky feeling while putting it on, or the smooth, soft finish it gives you all day long. It fills in wrinkles and protects you from the sun in addtion to making you feel and look great. The only… read full review »

SmashBox Photo Finish Foundation Primer - Travel Size I've heard about this primer and have really been wanting to try it but its a bit pricey.  Last night I found a travel size of this product for $16 and I grabbed it!  I used it this morning, as I always put on a primer before my foundation.  It really gave my face a super-soft and silky feel.  It instantly reduced the look of my pores on my nose!  Wow!  I love it already! — SmashBox Photo Finish Foundation Primer helps create a perfect canvas for your foundation application with its silky blend of… read full review »

I have very senstive skin, that is prone to breakouts, so Im especially careful about the products I use.  When I had my makeup done for a special event the makeup artist used this primer and assured me it wouldnt clog my pores or irritate my skin. Not only did my skin look the best its ever looked but it made my makeup last the entire night.  I bought a bottle myself after that and no matter what foundation I use the primer makes it go on smooth and evenly and stay put. I even use a little bit on my eyelids and it works for my eyeshadow too. Its an essential for me now! —… read full review »

I love this stuff but minus one star because: — 1. it clogs my pores — 2. it's expensive — 3. it adds to my "getting ready" regimen — — Nonetheless, it feels fantastic and really does fill in lines and give off a matte finish. — Highly recommended for oily skin (for mattifying) or dry skin. — Highly NOT recm'd to acne-prone skin. — — Like is said in my sound bite - great for special occassion (where you'll be taking pictures and what not) - but not for everyday because of the reasons stated above. —… read full review »

The first time I used Smashbox foundation primer is a sample, then I love it. The primer is so amazing when you apply it, your skin goes like silk, smooth, and the foundation is easy to stay on face. But the problem is it always make me break out. that's why I give it four… read full review »

  I have just discovered this makeup by accident getting a free sample of it in the mail. It is by the makers of Max Factor, but it is  by the next generation. The company is called Smashbox. I am a olive skinned, middle aged woman and have a few white pigments in my skin. I have tried every kind of makeup to cover these pigments with foundations. They never completely cover.   I got this sample in the mail of smashbox photo finish foundation primer, and decided to try it. It is clear in color. I couldn't believe it!  For the first time, it completely… read full review »

I can't rave enough about this stuff. A little bit covers all my imperfections and my makeup glides on smoothly and stays put for hours until I take it off! While I do find it pricey to buy a full-size (and so much is wasted with that pump bottle) I wait until there's free shipping (which is almost always), and on a Tuesday or Thursday from 12EST-5EST I order an item with the Let's Do Lunch special (a free full-sized product of the day with any purchase) and get a 1/4 sized sample of the primer during checkout. That tube definitely lasts a few weeks, so in the end I'm getting a few extra… read full review »

I love this stuff! I've been using it for a few year now and it really works! It feels like silk going on and prevents that caked on look that makeup can sometimes do. It's like having your own Photoshop, because it makes your face look smooth and perfect without any imperfections! I have sensitive skin and this product does not bother it at all! I love this product and would recommend it as part of you daily regimen! — —… read full review »

I love this for year round use but once that winter wind starts to blow my skin can suffer.  This is the only thing that has ever helped.  In the past I would put my makeup on and within a few hours it seemed to just soak into those dry patches and start to flake.  Now since I've been using this primer I never have that problem, and you are able to use much less foundation helping to keep a more natural… read full review »

This is the best makeup primer out in the market.  Just trying it on your hand in the store, you can feel how soft and smooth it makes your skin.  It fills your pores, leaving an even complexion for foundation and whatever other makeup.  It also holds your makeup really well, allowing it to stay on your skin all day. — Highly recommended! —… read full review »
