    This works good on they days I'm having a "Good Skin Day." If I am having a "Bad Skin day" it almost makes my skin look worse. I'd try the Loreal Studio Secrets Face Primer if you are trying a...

    I bought the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer in Light, knowing that it was the version for oily and sensitive skin types such as mine. This product was terrible for me. I am in a foundation primer...

    (see edit below) I feel Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is overpriced and over-rated. It doesn't seem to "agree" with my liquid foundation, making my skin look greasy after about 2 hours, and giving...

    What is up with all the hype? Obviously, I jumped onto the band wagon and I got the Photo Finish Primer. I liked how smooth it made my skin feel, but that's it. It doesn't last. It does not absorb...

    I didn't have a good time using this. It makes the foundation slip. It's better to put the foundation on 15 min after applying moisturizer and sunscreen, that would work better!

    This is a great primer. Makes your skin matt and really helps foundation smooth on. The only trick is waiting the right amount of time between applying the primer and your foundation. I would say...

    Received a sample of this from Sephora. It did an ok job of keeping my forehead from being oily for a few hours but when it came to my pores it emphasized them!
