My makeup goes on smoother with this than any other primer I've tried. My heavy cream concealer glides right on over this. I love the way it feels on my skin. I'm concerned, however that,...

I have wanted to try a primer for a long time, but my break-out prone skin prevented me from risking it. Well...I decided to take the chance and am very glad I did. I have pretty normal skin, but...

I first tried this product because my father's company packages cosmetics for smashbox, so I got a bunch of samples. You definitely do not need to use a lot of product to get the full effect. It...

Like "meldridge", I too had to resort to the q-tip method to reach the remaining product. It's pretty annoying considering the high price tag. This time I purchased the travel size, which comes...

The problem with any primer is that it must be removed with MAKEUP REMOVER. Not face wipes, toner or plain soap and water. And there are some people with sensitive skin that cannot tolerate...

I found Photo Finish Primer to be thick, hard to spread, and uncomfortable on my skin. It didn't really control oil, and it clogged up my pores and broke me out. I have sensitive skin, so that may...

EW! I'm glad i only got the sample size from Sephora, but if I didn't i would return it anyway. Somehow it made my skin look dry and flaky. Disgusting.

I really like this primer. Received it as a free gift at Sephora. I thought it was going to be too thick, but it blends into the skin very evenly and gives a fantastic smooth appearance. I have...

I really felt like this was a waste for me. It doesn't keep my makeup on longer and it doesn't mattify that well, and I can still see my pores and mine aren't terribly bad. It's got such a great...

So if you buy the travel size tube of this, it winds up being cheaper by the oz, is way more travel friendly, and is easier to get all the product out when you start running low. So if you buy...

This is the first primer I've ever used, so I have nothing to compare it to. Still, it works pretty well. I put on some sun screen, then I pat the smashbox primer on, then I brush on my mineral...
