    Received this to try; it does what it says! I applied a pea sized amount to my tzone and whatever was leftover everywhere else. It made my pores disappear, didn't make my combination/oily skin more oily. Also didn't pill so that was great. Makeup application was smooth. Didn't notice any breakouts after using this for several days in a row. Will keep using and would recommend!

    Smashbox pore primer is excellent to cover imperfections, pores and lines. The texture is clear and lightweight. It has vitamin A & E. Its smooth texture is refreshing on skin. I received this product for free for my review.

    To me, this is a nice old school primer. Remember when a primer was just like a silicone smooth base? That's kind of what this gives. It's a matte no bells and whistles primer. I think the brand has since released some variations on this fan fave to customize to your skin needs. I don't notice this being anymore blurring then the regular photo finish to be honest.

    It’s pricey but I have yet to find a true dupe for this primer. I have stubborn and very oily skin, after a few hours makeup just slides off. This keeps it in place and matte all day long.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great primer! It does have that silicone feel so if you don't like that then this isn't for you. Since most of my products are water based this didn't work well for me.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this primer is okay. i prefer the gel primers that i use daily just because they look good with or without makeup on top. this primer was kind of glittery & i didn't like that i couldn't use it on a light make up day. would be nice for a full coverage makeup look though.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I normally like this brand's products but was disappointed in this. First of all, the packaging is not aesthetically pleasing. Second, I did not notice that it worked for me.

    This reviewer received a free sample of this item
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The primer does a great job of creating a smooth base for makeup application. It helps blur out minor imperfections and fine lines, which makes my skin look more even. I also found that it gives a subtle glow, making the skin look healthy and hydrated without being overly shiny or greasy. If you have oily skin, this might not be the best product for you because it can feel a bit too slick after a while. It's definitely better suited for dry or combination skin types, where the extra moisture and smoothing effect are more noticeable. While it performs well under makeup, I wouldn't recommend it for people who are prone to breakouts or those looking for something long-lasting, as it might make the skin feel a bit too oily by the end of the day. it's a good option if you're looking for a lightweight oil that helps smooth out your complexion before makeup, but it's not a must-have for everyone.

    Trial and error

    4 out of 5 stars
    ileanac8 - 8 months ago
    This reviewer received a free sample of this item
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought this product was okay. Not outstanding (to me at least) but it wasn't a bad product either. It did have a blurring effect as they mentioned which was great. The only "issue" I had was that I didn't work well with all the foundations I used. At first I was confused why one my foundations didn't look smooth on my skin as it usually did and that's when I found out that I had been using this primer prior to applying the foundation. I tried with another and it worked okay but still a bit spotty. I used a third and it looked flawlessly. I feel like it's a bit trial and error. But it does work well on its own and would just wear it as such if my skin tone was more even but I did like the blurring effect as it looked natural. It's definitely worth the try, I think each person will have their own unique experience.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a classic. It has a silky, smooth texture. I prefer to apply this product first, then foundation and concealer, followed by the Urban Decay Setting Spray if I need my makeup to not budge! This product is a staple. ✨
