This is an excellent primer. I was using a Sephora primer and I got this one as a sample. I really liked it a lot so I ended up buying it. Once that one ran out though I tried a different one by Smashbox, it ended up being my favorite and so it's the one I now use. But this one is a really good one too especially if you are young or if you have dry skin because it's very hydrating. But I'm getting older and I need something that hides my fine lines a little better.
I think just about everyone’s tried this primer and after they do they usually keep it around. My face is very dry especially in the winter and this product is my go to. It makes my foundation look so much better and last longer. Like most makeup it has a kind of high price but it lasts for a long time so no complaints here.
I found this primer at my local TJ Maxx in their beauty section. I have tried Smashbox’a original clear photo Finish Primer but didn’t really enjoy it but I took a chance on this one.
I have combination skin that has been leaning on the dry side recently. Because I prefer the coverage of matte foundations, my face when it had makeup on looked cakey. This primer changed my whole foundation game. It hides pores and hydrates my dusty face. Matte foundations look great over this and I couldn’t be happier!!

This hydrating primer is great. I use it in the winter when my skin tends to dry out due to exposure from the cold. It keeps my skin from peeling and flaking and I love it. I recommend smashbox primers to anyone who has never tried them.
I felt the moisture hit my face once I rubbed it in, didn't irritate my face, and it works just like the other smashbox primers. If you have dry or dehydrated skin, I'd reach for this if smashbox is your favorite primer formula.
I love the Smashbox primers. I have combination skin so it’s not great for my entire face. I would recommend using this if you have dry skin or only in your dry areas if you have combination skin.
Wow I’m so sad I just ran out of this amazing primer after using it for 5 years!!!!! I have extremely oily skin on my forehead and then dry everywhere else, it works great and keeps my makeup on for the rest of the day. After I ran out I bought a new primer by elf and hated it, so maybe I will go back to this gem. It’s pretty expensive for how little the packaging is but it does last a fairly long time if you don’t expect to use it everyday
I needSmashbox Studio Skin 15 Hour Wear Hydrating Foundation because I heard alot Abt this foundation and I like to try it and see if it works for my skin.
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite primers ever. I have combination oily skin with cystic acne. And this primer is one of the few that hold my foundation together throughout the day while keeping moisture on my face. I also love this primer because if Im feeling extra dry and flaky it instantly boosts my skin with hydration! Love love love!
Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer - The baby blue hydrating primer feels like melted butter on dry skin . I mean it really sink into the skin giving a slightly dewy skin which is so refresh on skin as dry as mine . I’ve also used this product on clients of all skin types, it works just as well .

If you have dry skin this primer is absolutely worth the price! A little goes a long way and you can buy mini sizes for a fraction of the price if you want to try it out first. This hydrates your skin without looking oily and makes your makeup last all day, especially if you use it with a smashbox foundation or bb/cc cream. I love this and completely recommend it!
I have dry skin on my cheeks and my forehead, would this primer be good for my dry patches?
