Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer

I live in a place that is well-known for its warm and sometimes humid weather. This can sometimes be a challenge for my make up. When I first moved here, I had daily problems with getting my make up to stay on my skin, as it tended to "melt" away after a few hours, leaving my face looking oily and shiny. I then came across the photo finish light primer and I've been addicted to it ever since!! This amazing product ensures that my make up stays perfect all day long, at the same time as it decreases my pores significantly!! I usually apply it over my daily moisturizer to prevent my skin from getting dry, and I also use it over my sunscreen so that my face does not look oily or shiny when I go to the beach. I cannot live without this product! Would recommend it to anyone!

I moved to Hawaii a few years ago and for a long time I had problems with getting my make up to stay in place as the warm weather almost made it "melt" away. Then a friend recommended the photo finish light primer to me and now I cannot live without it! It ensures that my make up stays perfect all day long, at the same time as it prevents my skin from getting oily and shiny. It also makes it easier to apply my makeup and it decreases my pores dramatically. To prevent my skin from getting dry, I usually apply it over my daily moisturizer or sunscreen. Will buy this again and again!!

I wouldn't paint my wall without primer - I wouldn't apply makeup without Smashbox primer. Whenever anyone tells me my skin doesn't look my age. I say "Smashbox!" Whenever friends complain about makeup problems, I say "Smashbox!" I've tried almost everything else, from dermatological brands like Iredale to very high end cosmetics lines. For me, Smashbox beats them all . One little however, though, I find that (again, for me) the clear works much, much better than the light - it seems to make my skin a smoother canvas to accept makeup. I have oily skin and at first I was worried about the feel of the clear Smashbox, but once on, the consistency of the product became smooth and light with no oily feel.

Love it! Keeps me shine free all day! It's a bit more like a lotion than other primers I've used but still creates a smooth and less oily finish. Works great with my mineral foundation. If you have oily skin or acne this product is a must!

I have tried the cheaper ones, and more expensive primers. For me, with 60 + old dry skin, Smashbox, the clear one, works the best. It makes the fine lines a lot less noticable and gives a smoother finish overall.
I do not use it the way the makeup experts suggest. First I use concealer in my worst areas. Then the primer and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then I use concealer again, followed by foundation. Then I powder with the stay put powder like Estee Lauder Doublewear or the brand from the lady who wrote "Don't go to the cosmetic counter without me". ..Paula something. It stays well all day. If I am going out again at night, I just repowder.
