Velvet yum

I am a huge fan of smashbox products and this one is another winner for me. The scent is subtle and texture is super smooth. The price is expected since it is smashbox and the packaging is reasonable to me. I'm playing around with it and I'm gauging its effectiveness.

Terrific primer!

I received the Smashbox Photo Finish Pore Vanishing Primer in exchange for my honest opinion. This is a great option for makeup primer! It comes out of the tube as a thick gel but blends out effortlessly. It is lightweight but gives a good amount of slip to the skin which makes applying a base easier. I've found my makeup to stay on and in place longer using this primer. The silicone helps to blur the appearance of pores, and the product controls oil, so I even find it useful to wear without makeup. The packaging worked well for the product- I did not have to squeeze the tube very hard for it to come out. There is a slight scent but it goes away pretty quickly. I will definitely repurchase!

My holy grail

I received this product from influenster and smashbox for testing purposes. This has been my holy grail product for years! It really blurs your pores. I have large pores and oily skin and this controls my oily skin too. It makes the foundation glide perfectly on my face. Also it never caused any clogged pores or acne which is an A+ for me

Flawless face!

I don't wear a whole lot of make up so when it comes to primers it. It's not something I usually grab for. But I really really enjoyed this one. I used it over my make up and it really helped fill in some pores that I'm a little insecure about. I found that it worked best when I use my fingers to apply it. Kind of warmed it up to rub it in. I feel like it was smoother that way. A little goes a long long way. I think that this is something that is going to become my regular routine. I am also using it for my daughter who does cheer competition. It definitely gives it a more flawless comprehensive look. Received as a promotional item!

Very nice!

I received this product free to product test. My skin is definitely combination skin and my pores are minimal but visible. Unfortunately I did not find this to hide or decrease my poor size, but I did absolutely love the smooth soft mat finish that it provided! For that reason alone I highly recommend this product and I would definitely purchase it again!

Perfect for Nights out

It glides smoothly and it works greats for a solid 5 hours on my skin. I do get shiny after the 5 hour mark but it's normal for me. It held down a name brand foundation well enough for me.
