To tell you the truth, I never really understood the purpose or reason for using a
primer before applying my makeup. I've read countless articles, watched youtube videos
and listened to makeup professionals all rave and rant about using primers.
I figured what I was doing worked and I really didn't need to try anything else out.
When Smashbox sent me a box filled with all of their different types of primers, I figured
this was the perfect time to give it a try.
You guys, I'm sold!
I never knew that it would make such a dramatic difference in the way my makeup
lays on my face and stays on all day! Sometimes I do my makeup, leave the house,
look in the mirror three hours later and it's as if all my makeup blew off my face!
Since using the Smashbox primers, my makeup now goes on evenly and stays in
place all day long.

Smashbox has nine different primers that are for every skin type.
Not only do they feel like silk gliding onto your face, they are all oil free and
won't irritate your skin. I tested each one to figure out my favorites and to teach
you guys the difference between them.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Classic- This is the first primer from Smashbox
and the perfect first primer to try out if you're not sure which one is for you.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Light- This primer is ideal for oily, acne-prone
or sensitive skin.
Smashbox Photo Finish, SPF 15- This primer reduces the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles. If you are super sun-concious, this is the one for you!
Color Correcting Series:
Smashbox Photo Finish, Color Correcting Blend- This primer counteracts brown
spots and helps color correct and even out your skin tone.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Color Correcting Adjust- This primer reduces redness
and corrects blotchy skin tone.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Color Correcting Balance- This primer helps brighten
up dull skin.
These are my three favorite primers that I used.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Dark Spot Correcting- This primer reduces dark spots,
diminishes acne marks and improves radiance. I like to use it under my eyes to
help with my dark circles. It also had made a drastic impact on helping my
under eye concealer stay in place throughout the day.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Hydrating- This primer helps hydrate the skin and
keeps makeup looking fresher, longer. I tend to have really dry skin, so this
helps keep my face looking dewing and hydrated.
Smashbox Photo Finish, Luminizing- This primer adds luminosity while filling
in fine lines and pores. I love the way it leaves my skin glowing and sets the
perfect undertone for my makeup.
