Smashbox - Photo Finishing

Does anyone use this or tried it?
What does it do exactly?
How is it used?
Is it like a primer for your face so when you put your foundation or whatever it makes your skin look more flawless? (that's just what i've always thought it was from what it sounds)

feedbacks pls
thx

I've never used it but heard good things about it.... I don't wear foundation everyday though!

It makes your foundation go on smoother and last longer throughout the day.

Re: Smashbox - Photo Finishing

I love this product!!! When I put on foundation after I apply the primer it glides on. It's very smooth. It's their number one selling product

Re: Smashbox - Photo Finishing

cool!.. thanks all.. i dont usually use foundation, maybe once in a blue moon but when i do i'd love to try this primer...does it feel caked on? what's it feel like? does it feel like just a moisturizer? i hate having the feeling like i have so much make up on.

Re: Smashbox - Photo Finishing

I read reviews about the comparision of Smashbox's primer vs Quo's. People said they are very similar and work almost the same. But Quo is way cheaper, i think its $20.00 at shoppers but they always have 20% Quo products. I am not 100% sure about this, just what i read on reviews, and one can back me up?

Re: Smashbox - Photo Finishing

i have tried it too, it works like a makeup base and is like a waxy/silicon feeling to it. but once u apply to ur face it doesnt feel like anything except foundations just glides on......is great.....too bad they dont have any vitamins/ additional benefits to it....except there is one that also brightens ur face once u put it on...

Re: Smashbox - Photo Finishing

ooo this is just what i need,
I've always used the MAC Studio Moisture Fix SPF 15...
but I don't think it works that great....=S!?!?!

and when i put foundation over it, it shows, and it rubs off with the foundation sponge.
