Up until a few months ago, I never considered using a foundation primer. I thought that using a moisturizer was enough. Then one day I read a beauty article that pointed out the benefits of using one. This article mentioned a few {including this one} and I been told by several women that one of the best primers on the market is the Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer. So I purchased one and gave it a try on the most challenging makeup day for an event planner an outdoor wedding here in SoCal. Wow was impressed! My makeup stayed on all day, I did not have to retouch it, and it was not at all greasy. It made my skin feel amazing, too.
Since then I’ve been using this primer after I moisturize and before foundation and since I rarely use foundation I often wear it alone. All you need is a pea size amount to cover your entire face. Let it set then apply your foundation {I use a brush to apply foundation} and voila… picture perfect skin! This is perfect for brides who will be taking a multitude of pictures with family and friends and wants her makeup to look good and last without running to the ladies room to constantly touch up. Visit Smashbox to purchase a bottle for yourself. You’ll be so happy you did!

I’ve never used a primer either, but it sounds like high time I try!
They are wonderful, Lena. No kidding!
I’m terrible with makeup–I can hardly remember to use my tinted moisturizer!
