I had a travel size of this, that I believe I bought for about $10. It lasted me over a year with occasional use. After about a year and a half, the primer has gotten hard in the tube, so I can't...

I use this in combination with Smashbox Anti-Shine to create a smooth, all-day-matte base for my makeup. The silky smooth (silicone-based) texture of this primer makes the anti-shine go on without...

I had the worst reaction to this primer. My cheeks got very red, hot and irritated, like I had a sunburn. So, can't tell if it's a good primer as it obviously does not agree with my skin! Make...

I had high hopes for this primer hoping it would conceal my pores. All it did was give me a nice satin feeling to my skin, but it didn't really affect my makeup in any way. I used the mac studio...

okay primer, not overly impressive. I think the too faced primer, the primer from Urban Decay, and Tarte are all better than Smashbox's.

Maybe it was the hype around Smashbox Photofinish that just left me a little bit disappointed. Not hating it, just disappointed. Good points about the primer though, it has a really nice feeling...
