Luminizing Face Primer
“it seems like a serum in texture and how it sits on the skin— it does have a luminizing effect and allows for smooth makeup application but doesn’t add any staying power”
illuminating face primer
“I have dry combo skin and usually love a heavily moisturizing primer or a very thin illuminating primer. this one is thicker in consistency to a serum-like primer and sort of feels like a moisturizer which i love so. it makes my skin plump and feels a bit tacky which helps my makeup last all day. i’ve used it for about a week straight now and it’s moved to my everyday makeup drawer and replaced my milk hydro grip”
Luxury Primers
“First tried this product as it was included in a Sephora Favorites Luxury set. Primer is sparkly in the bottle but it doesn’t transfer to the face”
Purple Primers
“I really liked how the primer felt when I applied it to my face. Some primers can be tacky when you apply it, this one went on smooth”
Top Eye Primers
“I was excited too received an the urban decay original primer for free from influencer ,the package is great and Infound that the formal work really well it definitely made my shadow pop better then ever and made my eyeshadow last for hours this is in my top eye primers”
Yellow Primers
“Oxidizes my foundations towards a more yellow shade than they it would normally go :( I have a very cool skin tone, so perhaps if you have a warmer undertone this wouldn't be as much of an issue for you”
Long Lasting Primer
“I really enjoyed how easy to apply and how long lasting this product is. It is very good at controlling the shine even many hours after applying my make up”
Silicone Primers
“This product is white, not clear like other silicone primers. It works great as a foundation primer for smooth application and hides pores decently but is not very good for helping to hide other texture”
Eye Primer
“It really completes the look with a natural looking highlight. I also use it as an eyeshadow primer”
Powder Primers
“Like other reviewers I've been using Smashbox primer for years now and after receiving this as deluxe sample I'm switching over”
