I have been buying this for at least 5 years' I still have a bottle with the pump, and yay for making the tube, the pump always got stuck or would clog. Can be worn alone or under makeup. I have large pores, this really helps to mattify and make them less visible. It gives your face a glass type finish. I can't start my makeup regimen without this.

There is a reason why this is the number 1 primer. Wow, it is so good and feels great on the skin. It provides an excellent oil free base evendors if you just wear it on its own. I use it under foundation to avoid the cakey foundation look ad I have dry skin. It works wonders. I hate that it's so expensive for such a small tube - $44. Even though you don't need a lot, the tube is too small to justify the price. There are more and more primers on the market now so it will likely come down to price for me if I purchase again. $44 is just way too much money to spend even on the best primer.

I am personally a HUGE fan of Smashbox products. After testing out this primer, I have a few good things to report. Firstly, it does absorb very quickly into the skin, producing an ever layer (almost like a veil) on the face. Secondly, the texture is tolerable - it does have that obvious silicone feel to it, but it truly does make your skin feel soft to the touch. Third, it does have noticeable skin benefits. I have been using this primer alone, and under foundation for two weeks, and I have noticed that it hasn't caused any break outs, but it has managed to control excess sebum and oil on my face.

I have never really been a girl to wear much makeup, however as a bridesmaid in a wedding I was going to be dolled up from head to toe (including professional makeup). I am very pale, have combination skin and a somewhat uneven tone. Before she got to work one of the first things she applied to my face was this product, having never used a primer on myself before she told me all about it and the benefits of someone with my skin to start using it. She said it will provide a perfect setting base for the rest of the application to go on slick, smooth, and get full coverage on any tough spots. Well I owe her in a big way because she was right! Smashbox Photo Finish Primer is an amazing product. It was smooth, creamy, lightweight and did NOT dry out or breakout my skin at all, and It provided an amazing base for my concealer and foundation application.

I loved this product and will continue to buy it in the future. I might even try the one for redness next! :)

Really smoothed out my skin and pores before make up application. Non greasy and dries fast. Already went and bought a full sized version for myself. Love it.

I absolutely love this product. It works so well and it actually makes your makeup look so much better. I won't wear makeup without this anymore since i've tried it.

Works like a charm for a long lasting primer and a little for sure goes a long way! It's great that the product is clear so you don't have any extra blending to do

I use this product when I want my makeup to last all day and still look flawless by the end of it! it is clear and doesn't feel heavy on my skin. it doesn't break me out like the Mac prep and prime primer I tried. wish it was cheaper but it's worth it.

My friend did my make up for a party and used this product. My make up lasted all day and it felt light on my face.

This silicone based primer goes on smooth and evenly. It is clear, so it does not interfere with the overall makeup look. Lasting power of powders is several hours. There is no discernible scent that I could detect.

It is pricy though, but expect to find this in sample form often.
