Product Information

The beauty of shopping for cult favourites is that they're available absolutely everywhere. From FeelUnique to CultBeauty and Boots, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping Smashbox's Photo Finish primer. This one primer is designed to help target things like dark circules, fine lines, texture and puffiness. As well as adding hydration and radiance. I echo the above comments. And great review btw. This is a big pass for me. I really thought this was some revolutionary primer, and given that its silicone-free, I was anxious to try it. But it sounds like fragranced water to me too. Such a misleading name IMO. SMASHBOX REWARDS PROGRAM Are you sure you don't want to join the Smashcash Rewards program? JOIN NOW TO RECEIVE 100 SMASHCASH POINTS! Although the texture of your primer is very much down to personal preference, many makeup artists and beauty lovers are turning away from traditional silicone-infused formulas in favour of silicone-free primers.

With just one spritz, you’ll get the benefits of a primer, all the hydration you’ll need and sheer radiance. THE CRYSTAL-CLEAR CULT-CLASSIC ORIGINAL SMOOTH & BLUR PRIMER WAS CREATED IN 1996 TO HELP MAKEUP LOOK BETTER AND LAST LONGER, EVEN UNDER HARSH STUDIO CONDITIONS. THE VELVETY, LIGHTWEIGHT FORMULA INFUSED WITH VITAMINS A AND E MADE US THE PRIMER AUTHORITY, AND IT’S STILL OUR #1 TODAY. As it's water-based, the Photo Finish Primer is perfect for acne-prone or oily skin types, giving you a really clean finish that isn't high-shine or over-hydrating like some other primers on the market. Does primer fill in wrinkles? Although, you can also wear primer by itself on no-makeup days, just to give yourself a more even complexion. In a soft-gel formula, Smashbox's transparent primer promises that soft-focus finish, as though your skin has been airbrushed IRL – it acts as a base for you to apply your make-up, ensuring that it stays in place on your face for longer without going patchy.

We tested it out using just three small pea-sized amounts on our forehead and both cheeks which was more than enough to give us a smooth base for our make-up. Every primer is designed for a specific skin type. For example, if your skin is dry, you'll want to avoid primers with a matte finish or ones that are too lightweight to give you a deep hydration.

You can wear this alone to instantly brighten the under eye area, or use it under your concealer to make sure it lasts all day and has a fresh look. Thanks for your review! Very informative… I saw this new product via Sephora and was googling review on this product. Definitely a pass for me as I have dry and sensitive skin. Great Help!!! About the brand: Smashbox is a Los Angeles-based beauty brand founded by Davis Factor. Originally tested and vetted by photographers and makeup artists, it's best known for promising a standout finish every single time (and in every light). About My Skin: DehydratedSmashbox's Photo Finish Primer Water is a versatile product with a formula that enhances its multiple uses. To help you see how it performs in each situation, I've broken my review down by purpose. I agree with the previous comment. The mineral ingredients are probably what caused the mattifying effect. The diamond powder might add a slightly luminous look, but that isn’t from moisturizing. And fragrance, limonene, and linalool are known irritants to skin. This is a pass for me. The primer water is free of silicone, alcohol and oil, and it contains revitalizing electrolytes that help to wake up and restore your skin’s moisture.

Best for: Normal, dry, and oily skin types, especially those who love a comprehensive makeup routine. To set: On the flip side, I am very into setting mists because when you get a good one, it gives the skin a fresh, juicy, slightly diffused appearance. This delivered on all fronts. It’s not the best I’ve ever used, but in terms of glow and that really hydrated look, it totally worked. Whatever your skin type, a silicone-free primer could make the perfect addition to your everyday makeup routine. We have selected six of our favourite formulas to help you find the best silicone-free primer for you. Which are the best silicone-free primers? The idea behind Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water is interesting and maybe even sounds fresh and unique. But in the end, it’s just another facial mist and happens to be one that’s a bit on uneventful and falls flat in its performance. Perfect for those who struggle with the appearance of enlarged pores and excess sebum production, Filorga Pore-Express Regulating Primer works to balance and even out oily and combination complexions to enhance makeup application.My skin is normal to combination but prone to dehydration. When it comes to makeup and the way I like my skin to look, my preference is definitely dewy (so much that it errs on the shiny side), so any makeup products that are hydrating and luminous are right up my alley. This is probably why I like setting mists so much—they add a final layer of moisture. Struggle with concealer under your eyes, does it look cakey or settle into those fine lines we try to ignore? Then the Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer could be just the thing you need. We put the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review. While not exactly a skincare product, Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer Water does have some nourishing ingredients. There’s hyaluronic acid and glycerin to help with dehydration, niacinamide to refine the look of pores, and caffeine to wake up the skin. The long-term benefits of these when applied via priming/setting spray are unclear, but they definitely contribute to the final appearance when using this mist, and a little extra nourishment doesn't hurt.
