    I am really in two minds about this product. I think it works quite well as a matifier if used over moisturiser and NOT followed by foundation. It also appears to even skin out by smoothing over...

    I bought this about five years ago but never reviewed it. The only reason this product is popular is because fashion magazines and television shows promote it so much. It is just a bottle of...

    This is one of the first products that I had ever tried from smashbox. I apply one pump after my moisturizer and it goes and and leaves my skin feeling smooth and silky. I have very sensitive...

    I really like this product. It makes my foundation go on very smooth and I find that I don't have to use as much foundation. This seems to spread it out nicely using a small amount of foundation. I...

    feels greasy on my skin. Doesn't make my foundation go on smooth. Makes my makeup look fake and cakey. Too expensive!

    This makes my rough skin unbelievably smooth. And I see a noticeable increase in the amount of time my foundation lasts

    I'm not quite sure what to say about this "primer." It did absolutely nothing for my face or makeup. Yeah, so that's all there is to say about this highly overrated product.

    I personally don't think the photo finish primer is even NEARLY as amazing as it's made out to be. It's a decent base for makeup; it's especially nice if you have dry skin, it helps to smooth out...

    I don't know what all the hype is about this primer. I found it to make my normal skin look very dry and my make up was practically impossible to spread or blend on top of, which isn't one of the...

    This primer makes your skin look AMAZING. Unfortunately for me, every time I've worn it all day, I've ended up with 1+ huge zits... you know, the kind that are half-a centimeter across and hurt...
