i bought this on a flight back from the caribbean on duty free for £19 [approx $32 US] and i think its amazing... i know smashbox isnt really as good as MAC but what do you guys think about this primer?

I love it and use it all the time under my MMU. BUT too expensive for me and I usually don't mind spending $ for good MU. I would expect to get more longer use out of mine and I have had it since Jan and its almost gone. Sephora makes an identical one (I'm pretty sure) thats much cheaper. I'm definantly switching to that one next! $36 dollars for primer isn't worth it to me but it is a nice primer.

I think it leaves a "filmy" sort of feel. No likes. I'm getting the MUFE one this week.

I actually dont thinks it does make a different with or without primer, but this thing changed my thought, my makeup does looked smoother after applied it, i havent get a chance to try other brands of primer except smashbox, overall satisfaction, 5 stars!!

I like it better over MAC's version. I buy it for cheap on ebay.

i'm a pretty loyal MAC fan, but this one of the few areas where i stray. it feels like your skin has been airbrushed! i really think foundation glides on much smoother and stays longer in comparison to the MAC primer. i've also tried the laura mercier primer -- but smashbox is still my fav. especially under the eyes -- it's fabulous under concealer.

I sssooooooo love PhotoFinish!!! I have found that the filmy feel that people speak about goes away in minutes.

>>>Also, I think Smashbox IS as good as MAC. In terms of consistent professional-like quality through their product line, they are there. Their brushes, though not as numerous, are better IMHO.

I think MAC sometimes hits & misses with the color pay-off on some of the eyeshadows and I think we

over do it a little bit with the collection launches.

i love the foundation primer, i think it works better than mac (in my opinion). I've used it under foundation and mmu (i have oily skin) and ive noticed that my makeup lasts longer and doesnt fad easily when i use this underneath. All you need is a tiny drop, too much would be too oily on the skin.
