    Great primer!

    This product is my holy grail primer! I have very sensitive skin and this does not break me out at all! Helps keep my dry spots moisturized for a flawless foundation application!

    I LOVE THIS STUFF.

    I received a full-sized sample of this from a friend who is a makeup artist. I have been using it ever since. I never thought I would ever suggest putting oil on acne-prone skin, but my skin seems to have improved since I started using it. It makes makeup glide on easily and feels less clogging than other primers I've used. This is the only primer I continuously buy. The only downside is the price - it's over $50 CAD per bottle and 1 bottle lasts about 1 month.

    Great for a dewy finish

    I had purchased this because I had found a new foundation to drying, and this stuff absolutely made it look gorgeous! I had such a beautiful dewy finish.

    Another Picture Perfect Product from Smashbox!

    mashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil ~ Never thought I'd ever use a primer with oil in it ~ But this stuff is simply amazing! Made with lipid based plant extracts and essential oils ~ it leaves my skin radiantly moisturized, feels ultra light and absorbs in minutes. A tiny drop or two Morning & Night also helps reduce the appearance and texture of dry skin and fine lines. I have maturing, combination skin that tends to get shiny as the day wears on and avoid oils at all cost but this product is brilliant! A fabulous Primer that will leave you with a clean and primed base for your makeup or if you prefer go dewy and makeup free. Another instant fave from the Photo Finish Line.

    I absolutely LOVE Smashbox primers, so it's no surprise when I tried this I loved it too.
    I paired it with my least favorite foundation, which seemed to just cover my pores and make my face look painted on, and the mixture worked wonders!

    I was given this product by a friend who say the product was too oily for them. I LOVE it. I am new to primers and understanding what they are really doing and if they are really working, I followed the instructions the first time I used it and only used two drops, it worked pretty good and dried pretty fast. Then I applied my makeup. The next day I thought I would test the instructions and used about 4 drops, and regretted it immediately. It was too oily, wouldn't dry and my makeup was so itchy over it.
    In this situation, less is better

    I have seen the product at Shoppers Drugmart, and I have seen the price. I'm not sure if I would purchase it again because of the price, but so far I've used it for a month and I still haven't used a quarter of the primer.

    I would recommend for anyone with combination skin, and don't apply too much or you'll have bad experience.

    I am an Ipsy Glam Bag subscriber and I received this in my bag last month (February). It was only a small sample size but has lasted quite a long time. I must say, I love this product!

    Price - I can't comment on the price at all as I received this as a sample.

    Quality and Effectiveness- Smashbox products are known for their high quality and this product is no exception. I was a bit leery of the "oil" as I have oily skin, but it did not cause any problems for me. I have four other smashbox primers and they are all wonderful but this is just amazing. My foundation glides on and stays all day and it gives me a beautiful "glowy" look when my makeup is finished! It also has a very light, but pretty smell. My suggestion with this product would be to not use too much or you could end up looking greasy, and you don't need to use a lot because a little goes a long way with this product!

    I am almost done with my sample of this and will be buying the full size to add to my smashbox primer collection.

    I got this in my ipsy bag. I really love it. It absorbs super quickly into my skin(much quicker than other facial oils I have tried). It really helps plump up fine lines around my eyes and mouth. It makes my skin feel really soft too. Non irritating to my sensitive skin, even in the eye area. Nice, light herby scent. I will purchase a large bottle once this one runs out.
