Smashbox Photo Finish Light Oil-Free Foundation

Ah,don't you just love a long weekend!

This Memorial Day weekend brought a lot of fun and sun for me! Had my best friend's boutique relaunch, attended a cousin's high school graduation party, and a trip to the movies.I saw the Avengers and Chernobyl Diaries. Let me tell you, see the Avengers and skip Chernobyl Diaries, it was utter rubbish! I have never been so bored watching a scary film. Anyways, throughout all my festivities, one thing kept my makeup together in this hella hot weather we have been having is The Smashbox Photo Finish Light Oil-free foundation primer! I bought this travel size primer at Sephora out of curiosity for $17 . A bit pricey for such a little thing! : /

Smashbox Claims: 'new oil-free, 60% water based primer is ideal for oily, acne-prone or sensitive skin. This silky blend of vitamins and antioxidants helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer skin and can be worn alone or under foundation to increase its longevity. The revolutionary formula has oil absorbers for a smooth matte finish all day, light diffusers to minimize the appearance of imperfections, and vitamin C and peptides to help even skin tone and promote collagen production for a flawless future.'

 I have been using this primer for about a month now that and this is what I love:

•  goes on smooth
• very light on the skin
• makeup stays on much longer,even in hot weather
• face looks flawless in pictures
• pores are minimized

What I can do without:

•  I don't really like the way it feels worn alone. My face tended to feel a bit dry without using a foundation on top.

 Verdict: would purchase in the future, but curious about other primers still.


Hope everyone had a great weekend! And let me know if you have tried any of the other Smashbox primers or have a favorite primer from another brand.
