5 stars from a dry skin Photo Finish Fan
I've used the original Smashbox Photo Finish primer for years, so I was excited to try the new hydrating version. I have dry skin and I'm always looking for extra hydration, but primer isn't usually where I expect to find it. This surprised me in the best possible way. I use it in the morning after ...

PhotoFinish Falls Flat..
I have combination skin that suffers from dryness and oily skin. My primary skin concerns is the scars from acne and the occasional acne flair up. The texture of Smashbox's Photo Finish Primerizer+ Hydrating Face Primer was light and airy. It was not dissimilar to the standalone moisture I use for...

I've been using Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer+ Hydrating Prime with Triple Hyaluronic Acid for the last month. This has become a staple in my daily makeup routine. The Primerizer+ is super hydrating yet very lightweight and blends into the skin very nicely. I have very dry skin, and this primer has been great at helping to keep my makeup from flaking or cracking. An added plus is this lasts through the work day and keeps my makeup looking good all day! I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

I tried the smashbox photo finish primerizer and noticed considerable hydration very early on. It's very light and absorbs into your skin very quickly. It's not sticky or heavy on my skin. I did notice that i sweat on my face in some areas a lot more while wearing, but not greasy or oily. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

This Smashbox photo finish hydrating primerizer works really well for setting my under eye concealer. I can tell it adds hydration because my makeup has seemed less cakey towards the end of the day! I highly recommend! I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.
Must buy!!

easily one of my favorite primers!! It's lightweight, hydrates my skin without feeling greasy, and helps my makeup apply evenly + last all day. I love the fresh scent it's nice and refreshing. My dry skin always feels softer, healthier, and more glowy after using it. Definitely a product I'll keep repurchasing! I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

- Q
Should a primer (hydrating primer) be allowed to dry down before applying foundation. Sometimes my foundation seems to ball up when applied on top of any primer. Should I apply a moisturizer before or after the primerizer hydrating primer?
- Asked by Liz
- Official Answer By Smashbox USGreat question! Apply your Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer + Hydrating Primer with Hyaluronic Acid after your moisturizer as the very last step of your skincare regimen prior to foundation application. Though the primer doesn't necessarily need to "dry down", it should still be relatively well-absorbed with the skin feeling bouncy. If you find that your foundation is pilling, consider cutting down the amount of primer in half to see if that helps!Was this answer helpful to you
- Q
Does this replace my morning serum and moisturizer (with SPF) or do I put this primer on top of those?
- Asked by Curious

Can i use this with your original photo finish primer? Or do you reccomend I use it alone? I ask because all my other products are water based except for my orogianl photo finish primer and im wondering if I should switch to this one!
- Asked by nico
- Official Answer By Smashbox USTo get the best of both worlds, you can cocktail your Smashbox primers to customize your look. For smoothing hydration, we recommend starting with Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer. Apply this to the forehead, nose and chin to create a soft-focus finish. Then, use Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer+ Hydrating Primer to provide comfort and hydration to cheeks and neck. You're going to love this balanced, smooth canvas for makeup application.Was this answer helpful to you

Can this be used in combination with another one of your primers before makeup? Would that be to much priming and not food for the skin? Thank you!

- Q
Could this be used as an eyeshadow primer as well?
- Asked by KC
- Official Answer By Smashbox USGreat question! While Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer+ is made for use on the face, we suggest Smashbox Photo Finish Intensify 24 Hour Shadow Primer to prep lids before eye shadow application. For best results, smooth a thin layer over bare lids and let it dry for about 60 seconds before applying makeup. This product works to enhance shadow's color and helps keep it transfer-resistant and smudge-proof all day.Was this answer helpful to you
