in Trying to Get Pregnant

I am going to Sephora on my lunch break ? however, it is the smaller one located inside a JC Penney.

 

Has anyone ever tried Smashbox?s face primer ? photo finish?  If so, what do you think about it?

It has good reviews on sephora.com, but wanted to see if any of you ladies have tried it.

    I have no idea what face primer is! Is this something that goes under foundation? If so, what is the purpose?

    It's fabulous!  The only downside for me if that I cannot use it daily or I break out, so I save it for special occasions or when going out.

    Yes, you are correct.  My understanding is that it is supposed to help makeup stay on longer and give you a smoother finish.

     Oh - that's good to know. I sometimes get oily, so it could do the same to me.

    I really like it but I've been using it (the Light version) instead of moisturizer on the days that I really don't want to have any shine or oil.  It's very light and makes foundation look very smooth.

    Wow, I guess I'm in the minority here. I don't think it works well at all. I don't see a difference in how long my foundation lasts.

    I hope my experience isn't the same that you get and that it works well for you.
