SmashBox Photo finish light foundation primer sample review.
I was given a sample of the Smashbox photo finish light foundation primer to try out from ASOS's website. both the formula and the consistency are both incredible and it is very easy to apply, the tiniest amount goes a hell of a long way. It leaves your skin so smooth and ready to apply foundation. The only problem I had with this primer is that it did break me out several hours after applying this but I won't blame the product for this as it is just my skin type that this doesn't work for, my skin is oily and I feel adding something like this just makes your face more oily and dewy. It broke me out in several spots on my chin so I had to wash my make-up off and reapply without the primer. I feel that this primer would be perfect for people who have normal skin. As for people with dry skin I feel this would dry there skin out further as it did dry mine out slightly.
This product retails for £25 for 30ml (source boots.com) I feel this is very over priced but if you really want a good well made quality primer then you will get what you pay for with this primer, it works perfectly if you have the correct skin type.
Upon researching this product I also found they have other primers for various other skin types such as; Smashbox Colour Corrector primer which is perfect for people who have uneven skin tone, there is also the Smashbox Photo Finish More Than Primer Dark Sport Correcting Primer which I feel would of been the perfect one for me as it's for people who are more prone to break outs.
They all retail for the same price £25 for 30ml (source boots.com)
Other primers I have found that are cheaper and just if not better are: Rimmel Stay Matte Primer £5.99 30ml (source boots.com) this primer is an amazing dupe for the Smashbox Primers, It's long lasting very delicate on skin and very easy to apply. Also the Collection Primed & Ready Smoothing make up primer £5.99 18ml (source boots.com) this primer is amazing probably one of the best primers I have ever used, it lasts a very long time, really gives your skin that healthy dewy finish and doesn't break me out.
