I really love foundation primers and it's a toss-up for me whether I like this better than the Smashbox Photo Finish which has been a staple in my makeup bag for a while now. The Clarins is great...

Clarins Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch does what it says it will. It goes on as a clear, heavy, cream that you apply to wrinkles and fine lines and they're completely hidden!
