Product Details
Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer creates the perfect canvas for eyeshadow application. Wear this universal shade under shadow to increase longevity, or create the perfect nude eye by applying over the lid for an even tone.The exclusive formula contains Phytomoist, a plant-based hyaluronic acid for ultimate moisturisation and amino acids for skin-smoothing benefits. Soft focus pearls help diminish the appearance of fine lines on the lids while the patented Qusome® delivery system ensures all ingredients penetrate the skin to deliver effective results.
So what do we think? Well generally I am not one for lots of eye make up - I can do it on others, but myself I tend to look like I have gone a few rounds with Mike Tyson (although watching those fabulous Lauren Luke tutorials have really improved my technique!) For now though I still I tend to settle on lighter shades ( I adore my Smashbox Muse Palette) and use liner / shadow liner / mascara to perk up my peepers.
However, whatever your preference, this product brightens eyes even with nothing more. It is a soft creamy beige and it applies effortlessly and accurately with the velour wand. You simply pat the product over your eyelids and (for me) in the very corner of my eye and it removed any trace of redness and gave a rested look to the eyes. The thickish matte cream then prepped the eye for a crease-free shadow
Those with oily lids will find this matte enough to keep shadows in place, and those with drier or more mature lids will love the soft focus pearl effect which reduce the appearance of fine lines.
And yes ... it delivered stay true eye shadow colour which stayed put all day.
A big thumbs up from the JBD team.
Sephora in the US have had this as an exclusive for a few months now. Take a look at the reviews of this product here. At the last count there were 323 of them, with an average score of 4 out of 5 - not bad for a new product launch in a very competitive field.
Go Smashbox we say (again :))
