    This is in my top 5 for make up brands as a must have. It's a little bit pricey depending on where you purchase it from, but it is well worth the money for sure. This stuff is great.

    Ran out of primer and decided to try this instead of a silicone based primer on the recommendation of a friend. I had a tough time swallowing the price point thought, as $40 CAD isn't cheap for what my boyfriend called, "glorified salt water". I ended up purchasing a bottle on points.

    After having used it for about a month I would say that the product works better as a setting spray than as a primer. Even when I did use it as a primer, I combined it with a crime product. The water itself is innocuous; doesn't smell like anything, absorbs into skin. Would probably buy again for makeup setting and refreshing.

    Amazing product. Works as both a primer before applying your foundation and also as a setting spray to help keep you makeup looking fresh all day. Has a nice scent to it that isnt overpowering.

    Love it. Does not clog my pores. Wish there were other sizes though as I could fly through these as a lot of times I use it as both a primer and a setting spray.

    The smashbox primer water is right up there at the top of my list of beauty must haves, especially for the warmer summer months. I recently started using this product and have fallen in love with the way it feels on my skin and the way it keeps my make up in place all day. I use the Smashbox Photo finish primer first which I will never be without again, then apply my foundation and eye makeup and spritz on the primer water when I'm done and my skin feels fresh all day and my makeup doesn't budge. Pairing the photo finish primer and the primer water has taken my skin to the next level of dewy glow this summer so I highly recommend it. Plus if you have days when you just don't want to put your face on the primer water is a great way to wake up your skin in the morning and head out the door for that minimalist look.

    I just bought this primer a few weeks ago on a recommendation of a friend. It was a little expensive, but if it works it is worth it.It has a little of a medicine smell when you put it on, and then feels nice and cool. It does set your makeup. On these hot humid days, I put it in the fridge for a nice cool spray.

    This is an excellent primer for the summer. I love the light mist and find that it helps my foundation blend just the same as the original primer. Plus, a little bit goes a long way. Later in the day it can also be used to refresh your skin. Totally worth it!

    Love this Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water so much! Wish it didn't cost as much as it does, but seriously worth the splurge! I spray the primer on before applying my makeup and after to give a fresh look! Makes my skin feel great before and after applying my makeup. Gives the makeup a more natural dewy appearance when sprayed on after application. I highly recommend trying Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. It has become a staple in my makeup bag and a consistent part of my makeup routine.

    I see no difference when I use this primer, it's nice to spray on your face to set your makeup though. I feel like it's just a useless step in my makeup routine. If you're a girl who likes to take a lot of time and products to get ready then by all means go for it, but for me I'm not going to repurchase. I have a ton of other facial sprays that will most likely do the same thing.
