It's a fact in the beauty community that Smashbox are world-renowned for their primers and I'm really excited today to be one of the first to review their brand new Photo Finish Primer Oil!
Facial oils are a big part of my skincare regime - I simply can't go a day without using them for their moisturising and perfecting benefits. Similarly, primer's are a must have to achieve perfect makeup application which lasts all day (especially for those with blemished, combination skin like mine).
The Smashbox Photo Finish Primer Oil is heaven in a bottle. It contains some great ingredients to help moisturise (including sweet almond oil, jojoba and sunflower seed oils) and also really helps to reduce the appearance of dry, fine lines which in turn creates the perfect canvas for makeup.
One of my favourite things about this is that you can use it both morning and night and one of it's greatest benefits is increased moisture in just 4 weeks.
You all know I suffer with blemished skin and so this Primer Oil has become a godsend. Because lots of skincare treatments for acne contain drying ingredients, the skin around my blemishes often become quite difficult to work with (makeup clings on to these dry patches and tends to flake off leaving me looking worse than I did without any makeup on). That's where this has become my go to. Dry skin is immediately moisturised, my skin looks radiant and my foundation glides on like a dream.
I should also mention this oil is light and absorbs really quickly so no need to worry about looking greasy. Just massage two drops onto clean skin and let sink in before applying makeup. It also works beautifully when using the Smashbox BB Water as a foundation so I'd recommend using them together!
I really recommend this product for those who are after a fresh faced, radiant look with the full power of a primer, but with the added luxury of a facial oil.
