Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence - Ulta Beauty

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It comes in a pray bottle. Easy to use spray primer. Blends really well with my foundation. Gives a brightest finish after using and also skin looks hydrated. Packaging is good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I keep this in my bag for a great midday refresh after the gym or work before heading out for the evening. Scent is subtle but clean, and it leaves my skin and makeup feeling hydrated and ready to continue!

This product leaves your skin feeling so refrehsed and hydrated i have dry skin and hormonal acne and it just gives you the best base to apply makeup on. The only thing i wouldn't recommend doing is applying it after your makeup bc it j doesnt rlly help it last as good as other products and if ur not the biggest fan of a dewy look dont do it afywr cuz it will leave you very very dewy when appiled after makeup. Overall i love it and the smell aint even that bad.

Disappointed that such an expensive product is a bust. I don't wear much makeup, and I really can't tell the difference as to how well it keeps my makeup on. It does not leave my skin dewy, my skin sucks up the moisture despite using moisturizer before hand and my skin goes back to looking like it always does. And the biggest thing is, it has a VERY strong chemical scent. It's nasty. The packaging is also really ugly in my opinion. However, the sprayer it comes with is really nice. I don't know if I could save the bottle for something else?

A clean feeling, effective primer. Love how lightweight and versatile this primer is for before AND after makeup application. Feels great on your skin but not the most effective for keeping makeup in place.

Overall it's an okay primer, but definitely doesn't perform at the price point. Save you money. There's literally hundreds of other primers that perform much better, for more cheaper. I'm going to keep using it since I have it and don't like waste, but I definitely would not repurchase.

My skin gets super dry in the cold winter months so my skincare has to be on point & that includes a face primer. One of my favorite's was the Smashbox Primer Oil which apparently has been discontinued. I picked up the new 8 in 1 Primer Essence hoping it would be a good replacement. I didn't pay much attention to the actual product & was surprised & a bit disappointed to find it was a primer spray. I haven't had great luck with sprays in the past & typically avoid them but I was to lazy to return it so have it a try. That was a few months ago. Since then I have gone through a few bottles of this stuff & can't live without it now. My makeup has never looked so fantastic! It also stays put all day even in the worst heat & humidity. After my regular skincare I apply Bobbi Brown Face Base or Lorac Dewy Canvas Prep then spritz the Primer Essence on & let dry. I haven't had a bad makeup day regardless of the foundation I used since I started using this stuff. It's by far the best primer spray I've used over the years.

This is a very strongly scented product and it smells like citronella candle. I dont know how well this product works as primer, since it smelled so strongly

Bring back primer water!!! So much better underneath makeup.

Bring back primer water PLEASE! Whatever ingredients that had made my makeup so flawless and perfect! No other brand could compare. Now smash box created another water primer and totally not the same again. If water primer wasn't broke, then why did you discontinue!?!?

This is amazing! I used it without foundation, and it kept the shine away while holding my eyeshadow in place. When I used it with foundation, it kept everything smooth and doesn't feel like another layer on my skin. Absolutely a must have!

I miss primer water and primer oil those were the best to pair with my makeup but now they have sadly discontinued it. Save your money find something else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an awesome primer that can be used before and after your make up use. I love that it is very light when spraying on your face.

As someone with normal/dry skin this is a great spray. I like to use it as a working spray between layers while I do my makeup. It's a fine mist that applies evenly and really helps melt all my makeup together. I would buy it again.

I'm not sure why every single product needs to have niacinamide and hyaluronic acid in it. Neither of those ingredients work for my skin. I loved the primer water for years! Now I'm at a loss as to what priming spray I should use. The primer water was a holy grail product for me and I'm so sad they discontinued it. Bring the primer water back! (Without fragrance would be nice also)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this as a free sample just in time for my sisters wedding, and it worked wonderfully! My makeup stayed out all day from photos through dancing!

This is not great. I miss the Primer Water spray! It performed way better than this Revitalize 8-in-1 whatever spray. :( This barely mists, isnt as hydrating, and doesnt work as well to prevent cakey foundation. I wish Smashbox would bring back Primer Water. Doesnt make sense to discontinue a cult classic primer/setting spray for something as ineffective as Revitalize.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't have much to compare thia product to as it is only the 2nd of it's kind that I have tried and used regularly but I like it because it really does prime, set, and hydrate. My favorite thing about this paeticular spray, though, is the fact that it sprays a fine mist; this is unlike the other setting spray I've used. The only thing I wish were different was that it'd leave your skin dewey but that might defeat the purpose of this setting spray being ideal for photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice, pre-foundation spray. It's relatively hydrating, but it does require a number of sprays to get adequate coverage. It does not do a whole lot else besides that. I didn't notice any bluring, pore minimizing, or wrinkle reduction when using this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is so lightweight but still very hydrating. I don't break out with acne plus it gives me a glow and doesn't go into my wrinkles almost fills and gives a nature look. This is the best primer for make up I ever found. It gives me a very smooth base on which to apply my concealer and stays smooth for hours with no caking. I highly recommend this product.
