Photo Finish Primer by Smashbox

Smashbox Photo Finish is a really nice primer. It comes out as a clear gel and smoothes the face nicely to make a great makeup base. I have a single wrinkle between my brows which I’m really self conscious of but this primer minimises the appearance of it perfectly for me. BONUS TIP: I read on the Smashbox website that you can also use this primer in your hair to tame the frizz so I tried that and it actually works really well. You need to rub it in your hands first and then smooth it over your hair. All in all this is a very versatile product, I’m going to continue using it for the foreseeable future!

I am a sucker for wanting to always try out new primers. I had heard a lot of rave reviews for this primer, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to make the leap and purchase it. A lovely friend of mine had some luxury samples of this primer as it is one of her favourites, and let me give it a go. Unfortunately, I did not get on with this primer at all. It feels nice to apply and my foundation went on well, much the same as it always does. However, as I continued with the rest of my makeup I noticed that my face make up (foundation, concealer and powder) was not at all set and would come off at the slightest touch. I generally have dry skin and have to battle flaky patches for the most part but this primer made my skin look like an oily mess.

Needed a good primer and thought I would try this one after a friend recommended it. However only used it a few times but it does seem to blur the lines - a little. Helps makeup go on smoothly

Love it, this is amazing especially to make my foundation look flawless !!! It sinks into my imperfections and literally makes them go away. Would recommend to anyone :£

Love this primer, makes my skin so smooth and soft and makes my makeup look flawless. It also covers creases really well so makeup doesn't look cracked. A little on the expensive side but worth it.

So, I have nothing against this primer. It's beautiful, makes my skin feel crazy silky and doesn't contain oil. However, for £26, I honestly don't think I'd buy this again when W7's dupe - prime magic - is so much cheaper. Sorry guys!

Provides a smooth base for makeup application, reccomend for all skin types.

Helps your makeup glide on like a dream and lasts all day. I have combined to oily skin and my makeup doesn't break up at all. Would say this product is good for all skin types and would 100% recommend.

This is by far my favouraite primer I've tried. It helps to control my oils and helps my makeup glide on smoothly and last all day.

I've not tried many other primers before and surely this is the best I've had. Smooth texture, only need a tiny amount, my skin feels silky straight after applying. I use it with smashbox foundation and it is like a dream, my makeup last all day and it isn't drying my skin either. I recommend it to anyone!

I just don't understand the hype with this product at all! It didn't make my pores look any smaller and my face felt (&looked like) butter. I found it really Difficult to apply my foundation and my concealer rubbed off my face as I alllied. Really let down.

✨This Primer is honestly the best Primer ever! The texture after application is absolutely to die for, so smooth and so soft. It keeps the longevity of your make up to literally last all day. The base it provides for Foundation is fantastic and makes the application of it so easy and no go cakey. My pores look so much better using this product, it literally covers them all and creates a true blank canvas to work with. It works really well with my oily to combination skin and doesn’t feel greasy or heavy. This is an absolute MUST for your beauty haul!

This primer is a classic. Reminds me of a primer I once bought from inglot but mostly because it is SO SMOOOTH. You get good value for your money as you don't need to use a lot of this, is glides on like a dream and does an amazing job of helping set your makeup! This did wonders for my pores too! Highly recommend:D

I unisex my pores! Used for a few years and still Absolutely love it! Don't think I'd ever switch and I've tried lots of different ones too

This was one of the first primers that my Mother ever bought for me and I always come back to it! It's got a soft and smooth texture that sinks into skin, fills in pores and leaves a velvety texture, perfect for a flawless foundation application each time. It doesn't have a scent, and doesn't leave my skin feeling or looking shiny or oily. It's the perfect primer for a full day of heavy makeup - weddings etc, and just as good on an everyday basis too. It's a must for everyone's makeup bags, even if you'll only use it on special occasions, because that's when the magic happens!

I dont care if this cost me £1000 id still buy it. It have saved my make up life and is the perfect base for any foundation. Its goes on so smooth and is soooo silky. Makes my make up last forever.

I unfortunately have to say I don't think this product is worth £25. I use a lot of smashbox products and am reasonably disappointed with this one. It seems to dry my skin up, and I also have recently found that a different Primer at £6.99 does me more favours. I also feel that to make a difference I have to use more of this product at one time, than other primers I've tried. Smashbox is fab, this product just isn't for me!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this primer. It is my ultimate go-to primer. I have changed and used other things but i always go back to this. The finish is unbelievable and sometimes i can just go without makeup and just put primer on my face. It minimises any lines and wrinkles and minimises pores. The effect it has when my foundation is put on top is absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend this primer enough it is the top rated for a reason!!!

If you are looking for an everyday primer, look no further. It is oil-free and definitely makes your foundation last all day, without sliding off. It sets a perfect base and smooths over imperfections giving a flawless look Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a basic simple primer, however I have not given it 5 stars as I think it is very over priced for what it is

This has to be my favourite primer, smoothes my skin and closes/hides my pores my foundation looks so much better and I find I don't use as much either.
