What The Hell Is In Jones Road What the Foundation Tinted Moisture Balm Because My Dry Skin Loves It Refresh and prep your skin in one simple step with the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. Misting your skin with a veil of moisture to create a smooth and hydrated canvas for makeup, the ultra-fine spray absorbs instantly into the skin and energises the complexion with a blend of revitalising electrolytes. Had a sample of this. Have to preface that I don't wear foundation on a daily basis so I tried this maybe twice in the same week but not on consecutive days. Primers have become a staple product in many of our makeup routines and for good reason. Creating the perfect base for your makeup and working to extend wear time, primers smooth and soften the skin and allow any products you apply on top to adhere perfectly to your complexion and stay in place. The best primers stop foundation or concealer from setting inside the lines on your face, making them less visible throughout the day – if that's filling in wrinkles, then yes, they do something like that.

I think the disappointment for me stems from the fact they market as a product that restores moisture and helps retain it. I didn’t feel like it was moisturizing in the least. To me it seems like a very overpriced, mediocre facial mist! On top of that, they can amp up the rest of your routine. Not only does primer leave skin feeling soft and smooth, it can also provide a more seamless makeup application (no streaks in sight!). Some formulas can even double as a moisturizer. “They hydrate without adding an extra texture to the skin,” says Davis. She recommends applying it to the center of your face and then blending it out. Keep in mind: Your face primer should have a similar base as your foundation—so if you’re wearing a water-based foundation, a water-based primer will give you the best results and help nix pilling. We put the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water to the test after receiving a complimentary sample from the brand. Keep reading for our full product review.

6 best silicone-free primers

Such is the case with the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Water. Not only does it prep and hydrate the skin prior to makeup application, but it works as a setting spray and refreshing mist as well. Think of it as a lightweight, hydrating, one-and-done skin treatment that you can call on multiple times a day for a range of reasons, knowing it will deliver every time. To prime: Let it be known that I don’t go for primers usually. I like to glow underneath my makeup, but anything too grippy or silicone-y sends me running. However, this water mist almost feels weightless and leaves the skin smooth and plump. Applying makeup afterwards was a breeze, and not once did it feel like I had a heavy, pore-clogging base. I would definitely use this again. Smashbox have a primer range to be proud of, boasting a grand total of around 12 primers, each made to meet different needs. To set: On the flip side, I am very into setting mists because when you get a good one, it gives the skin a fresh, juicy, slightly diffused appearance. This delivered on all fronts. It’s not the best I’ve ever used, but in terms of glow and that really hydrated look, it totally worked.

We tested it out using just three small pea-sized amounts on our forehead and both cheeks which was more than enough to give us a smooth base for our make-up. Every primer is designed for a specific skin type. For example, if your skin is dry, you'll want to avoid primers with a matte finish or ones that are too lightweight to give you a deep hydration.

This primer is everything you love about the original Smashbox primer in a light, pure and refreshing form. From the silky-smooth texture of the original to the super-fine mist of this new water, now there’s a primer for everyone. Thanks for the review. I wondered about this. I have combo but more dry skin and I was debating on this one. I also have large pores and am thinking about the pore minimizing primer they have out. Do you like it that one? Also, what misting/setting spray would you recommend that’s alcohol free but sets makeup and can be used throughout the day? I use skindinavia but it has alcohol and I’m trying to get away from using alcohol on my face. Thanks! The beauty of shopping for cult favourites is that they're available absolutely everywhere.
