Our take on the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

Smashbox Photo Finish is a silicone-based gel primer that smooths skin and blurs pores before foundation. It is fragrance-free and oil-free, and the slick texture helps makeup glide on and last longer. Reviewers with oily or textured skin tend to like the pore-blurring effect; those with dry skin or a preference for lightweight, water-based formulas often find it heavy. It competes with other silicone primers such as Benefit Porefessional and Maybelline Baby Skin, and it is one of the more established options in that group.

Questions and answers

Is it good for oily skin?
Yes. The oil-free silicone gel controls shine and blurs pores, which suits oily and combination skin. Very dry skin may need a richer moisturizer underneath.
Does it work under any foundation?
It works best under liquid and cream foundations. Water-based foundations can separate or pill over it, so let it set first.
Is it fragrance-free?
Yes. It is fragrance-free and oil-free, which helps those sensitive to scent.
How much should I use?
A pea-sized amount is enough for the whole face. Extra product makes the silicone feel heavier and can cause pilling.
How does it compare with Benefit Porefessional?
Both blur pores with a silicone feel. Photo Finish is a clear gel that smooths overall texture, while Porefessional has a tinted balm texture that some find lighter.
Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Smashbox lists the formula as cruelty-free.
