Controls Shine Without Feeling Heavy
I tested the Smashbox Oil Control primer in the morning before applying makeup, and it made a noticeable difference right away. The texture is lightweight and smooth, and it blended easily into my skin without feeling greasy or heavy. It instantly gave my face a soft matte look and helped reduce shine, especially in my T-zone. Throughout the day, my makeup stayed in place and I didn't need to blot as often. My skin still felt breathable and not overly dry, which I really liked. It also helped smooth the look of my pores so foundation applied more evenly. The finish looked natural, not dull or flat, and my makeup held up much longer than usual. Overall, this is a great option if you have combination or oily skin and want better oil control without sacrificing comfort. I would definitely keep using it and recommend it to anyone looking for a mattifying primer that still feels lightweight.

Smooth and lightweight
Its a good primer makes my face feel soft and smooth. Its just not a fit for my age and skin texture. I would recommend it to the younger customers. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes

Pretty good…
I have been trying this primer everyday for about 2 weeks. I have tried it with 9 different foundations and concealer combinations. I put moisturizer on and let it dry. Then, I put an even layer of the smashbox primer all over. A few times, I put a bit more on areas with large pores. I think it helped with blurring my pores and it also helped my makeup last longer. Also there was no peeling. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes. However, my opinion is my own and true.

Great for an Oily Girly
My face is a literal oil slick, so I've been hunting for a good primer, especially as Summer approaches. I was lucky enough to receive this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes. I've worn it for almost 3 weeks and it hasn't let me down yet. My face stays nice and matte throughout the day. This is definitely going to be one of my makeup staples.

love it
I have been using this primer for about two weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it. It goes on very smoothly, and leaves my face feeling soft. It has helped to control some of the spots on my face that get oily throughout the day. I like that it does not have a strong scent. I will definitely continue to use this primer.

Love this primer!!
I've been using the Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Control Primer in the mornings, and it works really well for my combination/oily skin. It feels lightweight and smooth going on, with no heavy or greasy feel. It definitely helps control shine—especially in my T-zone—and keeps my makeup looking fresh longer. My foundation applies more evenly and stays put throughout the day. "I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes."

Great product
I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes. I use it and it works really well for me. It is excellent at neutralizing oil without making the skin look "chalky." It creates a soft-focus, blurred effect that holds up well under heavy foundation or just on its own.

Solid everyday makeup base
I've started using the Smashbox Photo Finish Oil Control Primer for a little while now and I'm very happy with it. I use it in the morning. I use it under my foundation, my foundation goes on smoother and lasts longer, which I really need on long days. It does a decent job with oil control, especially in my T-zone, and keeps my makeup looking matte for most of the day. The texture is lightweight and smooth, it reminds me of og smashbox primers. What I like about this is it hasn't clogged my pores! After about 8 hours, I do start to notice some shine coming through, especially if it is warm. It is not extreme, but it is something to keep in mind. Overall, it's a good everyday primer if you wear makeup daily. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.
