    I like this product very much - and am not upset with the Smashbox line at all. While not a HG for me, this primer is a great way to create a flawless, smooth surface before applying...

    I wanted to try this under my makeup to see if it would help it stay longer, but I just can't stand how oily it makes me! Just putting it on made me feel like my skin looked sweaty! So if you...

    I'm very disenchanted with Smashbox in general. It claims to have the "most" staying power yet in terms of results--its been lacking in so many of its products. Including this. It completely made...

    I wanted to get a primer for a while, and got this at Sephora. It looked like a travel size, when I went to checkout I was suprised by the price. Not a good value. When I got home it felt like a...

    I have quite dry skin and this is the first primer I have tried. I like it as it makes my foundation go on well and last longer. Also makes my skin smooth. Will try a few other primers before...

    So, I was lucky enough to swap for a La Prairie Rose Illusion primer/line filler and *love* it. I decided to buy me a Smashbox Photofinish to use on *not as important* days. Well, big scoop...

    This a great primer. It goes on silky smooth. It is great for all skin types. I don't wear foundation. I just smooth a bit on forehead and under eyes and add a little powder. Gives a nice...

    Product was overly greasy, made my pores appear LARGER than they are (even in my cheek area) and clogged my skin. After stopping use for a day, my clogs disappeared. Not a great product and I'l...

    I quite like this primer, it realistically only creates a smoother base for my foundation and I didn't find that it reduced the size of my pores or mattify my skin throughout the day. However, its...

    I won't say the product is poor as it obviously works for many. It does give the skin a smooth texture. However, it does cause breakouts for me. My skin is combo/dry, I won't be re-purchasing.

    Im undecided on this product. I think a primer should smooth out your visible imperfections prior to applying foundation, and i think this could do a better job. While it makes makeup go on...

    It took me a while to warm up to this product, but now I really like it. I sometimes use it alone, and it gives my face a much smoother, softer look and feel. Under liquid foundation, I get a...

    I hate this product. It clogged my pores, despite the claim that it does not, and caused major bumps all over my forehead! It has silicone in it so it feels greasy and clogs! The bumps went away...
