    I usually love smashbox, but was disappointed with this product. As one of the commenters below stated, I purchased the purple one - weird feeling/finish, slightly oily which made my eye liner smear oddly - just - not a great product. I stopped using this VERY quickly and will never repurchase. There are far better primers out there. Save yo' money!

    I LOVE my PhotoFinish primer. It has made a huge difference in my makeup longevity and feel of my face. I love it.

    I only bought this because it was on sale and now I know why. They wanted to get rid of this product and for good reason. I used the purple primer. Texture was odd (hard to describe) and didn't go on smoothly. When applied it felt slightly greasy and that it never fully dried. Disappointed as usually I am a huge fan of Smashbox.

    I LOVE this product! It's easy to apply, but makes applying foundation even easier. I have tried the clear one as well, but I like how the green counteracts with the redness on my face.

    I was very disappointed in this primer. I bought the colour correcting primer because I have a lot of red marks and very dark circles under my eyes that are hard to conceal, and thought this would be a great product. It unfortunately did not work for me.

    It does it's job as a primer, although I don't like how it feels going onto my skin. Not a fan of the texture. It's kind of silicone-y feeling. The primer does nothing in the way of even remotely covering any of my marks or uneven colours. It's also "photo-ready" so it is supposed to help with the flash (I have a problem with foundations giving me a ghost-white appearance since I'm already so pale). I even use it with MUFE HD foundation and haven't noticed much of a difference with flash, which was very disappointing.

    Overall, I would not recommend this product unless you want an expensive primer. I would love for somebody to change my mind about this product, but I have even tried the original, clear formula and I did not like that one much either. I will probably skimp on the expensive primers and go for something cheaper next time.

    I think the green primer is really wonderful and can cover my red spots. It may be weird at first using a green primer, but try it out! It may just work great for you.

    This is the best primer i have ever used. The purple balancing one makes your face feel very silky and radiant.

    I got the green primer a few months ago and I'm loving it, I don't even mind the price anymore. It's totally worth it. I get red cheeks in the winter and was looking for a product to help tone the redness down. I don't like to wear too much foundation and this helps my light foundation stay on all day. It feels like silk on my face as I put it on and helps my red cheeks look more like sunkissed cheeks.
