This is just an average primer with an above-average price. I really like the original Smashbox photo finish primer, and didn't find this particular one reduced redness any better.

I didn't like this as much as other color correcting serums. It dulled my skin and my tone is already on the lighter yellow side.

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 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.
