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.

Awesome product that works like magic
The Smashbox Oil Control matte finish primer is wonderful. Every late morning I've applied this to my face; mostly the t-zone (forehead, nose) area. However, I also applied it to my entire face and chin, all the places where I feel oily. I've used it alone and with makeup. The application and the texture of the product was smooth. I needed a bit more than the recommended pea sized amount. I wasn't a fan of the smell of the product, because it smelled more like witch hazel than anything else. The results were amazing, though. My face felt oil free all day! No joke! It felt like magic!! I'm not sure how this product works with only a few natural ingredients, but it was true to its name- matte oil control. I would definitely go out and buy the product again. I received this product for free from Smashbox for testing and review purposes.

Some awesomeness, Some work to be done
I received this photo finish control mattifying primer several weeks ago and tried it right away. The product was scentless and went onto my skin incredibly smoothly. It truly felt like this provided great coverage and an even pallet for my makeup to rest on. The issue I found with this product was that when I put my powder foundation on after applying this primer, I found that the foundation caked in a lot of different places on my face; most noticeably on my nose, the sides of my nose and my forehead. I am still unclear if this issue is related to using a moisturizer before application, but unfortunately I need a moisturizer in the morning when I wash my face and apply makeup. The product definitely did mattify and help control oil, but the caking of my foundation led me to have to give it a lower rating.

Game changer
This stuff works! I typically get oily skin after about 8 hours of wearing foundation at my job. Not any more, I look in the mirror after I clock out and my makeup still looks like I just put it on. I was worried about the price point versus the size of the product, but you honestly don't need very much to get a matte finish.

Total shine control and flawless makeup all day long.
I tried Smashbox's Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer with Salicylic Acid, and it truly exceeded my expectations. I have combination/oily skin, and this primer helped me immensely in controlling shine throughout the day. The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves the skin feeling soft without any heavy sensation. What I liked most is that it keeps makeup intact for hours and doesn't feel greasy. Plus, the salicylic acid is a bonus, as it helps with pores and minor breakouts. I would definitely buy it again; it's perfect if you're looking for a long-lasting matte finish without drying out your skin.

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.
