Hello, friends!

Buying an eyeshadow palette from Smashbox, I was presented with some sachets.And now it’s time to trial Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer.

 

✔️ I discovered the world of primers several years ago and now I can’t imagine my makeup without them.

Primers/eyeshadow bases reveal the eyeshadow pigment and help them to boost their pigmentation. And surely they make the colors stay on better. Such primers are perfect solutions for hooded and oily eyelids. My eyelids are naturally hooded and they hide the architecture of eyeshadows that I create.

 

So, my eyeshadows usually stain my lids, mix together and quickly crease.

 

If you want to level up your makeup, I advise you using eyeshadow primers. I don’t take them as wasteful products because they are really essential and work positively for me.

  • Name: Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer

  • Shade: Light

  • Price for the full size - $21

  • I have a sachet with 1.5ml. The spending is minimal. I need just the tiniest bit of the product for my both eyelids.

 

Description

Prime, prep, and perfect lids with the Photo Finish Lid Primer. The Light, Medium, and Dark shades color-correct lids and neutralize imperfections, while the Smoke shade deepens and intensifies color to achieve a smoky eye in seconds. The White shade brightens and allows shadows pop. It blends seamlessly for smooth, even application without creasing, caking, fading, or smudging.

I have mine in the shade Light:

All the product promises live up to life.

  • Consistency of the Photo Finish Lid Primer

 

It’s very pleasant to the touch, not dry or sticky.

It doesn’t tug my skin and I’m pleased with the way it applies.

After that, I apply a base with the help of a light eye pencil and then set it with a light eyeshadow.

I use a pink blush for the crease. I love the way its color reveals when I apply it over a primer.

The product doesn’t feel sticky. The blending is also the finest. If only I could apply and blend out my eyeshadows well. Smile

I’m planning to attend a makeup artistry course to create beautiful makeup looks for the pictures for my reviews.

 

I also added some eyeshadows to my outer corners that are darker than the blush for more depth but it isn’t so obvious on my eyes.

Let’s trial the staying power of this primer from Smashbox:

My eyeshadow is still there within 6 hours. It hasn't become fairer or creased. I’m very happy.

The Photo Finish Lid Primer lives up to its all promises.

 

Overall:

✔️ my eyeshadows don’t crease

✔️ no smudging

✔️ the primer reveals the maximum of pigmentation

 

I take off a star for the high price tag. I don’t think that everyone can afford such a splurge. I know that many people don’t even take primers seriously. Smile

 

I can recommend this lid primer. And I also recommend wearing your eyeshadows over primers all the time. You’ll definitely level up your makeup then. :)Thanks for your attention!
