The perfect primer for a matte look

Best in the world
Decent job at pore minimizing!
I'm really enjoying this primer. I'm not a big fan of matte finishes but this isn't overly matter, I'd say it's more in between satin and matte. It's very soft and silky smooth and does a decent job of minimizing pores. A little bit goes a long way. Makeup applies well over it and doesn't pill or separate. Overall I'm happy with how it performs and I'd recommend this primer!

Fan Favorite!
I have been using this primer for years since its release and no other primer has yet strayed me from it! Its finish is mattifying, lasts me about 8 hours before any oil peeks through my makeup. It is unscented. My only gripe is the packaging makes it hard to get what is left when the product is low. But I make a way haha!

Doesn't Work on Skin with Wrinkles
I'm 77 but still have oily skin. Smashbox Photo Finish Oil and Shine Control has been wonderful over the years, but I can no longer find it. I tried Photo Finish Control Mattifying primer with Salicylic Acid and was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. It doesn't control oil AT ALL, plus it causes my makeup to gather in my wrinkles.

60 Day review
I bought this product and used it for 60 days and let me just be very honest. if you want a flawless base that won't show any shine for hours where applied, if you want a poreless look and many compliments on your base I recommend getting this in the cart ASAP!

What??
Is this product that is supposed to replace the Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer? Poor substitute if it is. If it isn't then where is the under eye primer?
Customer review from smashbox.com
Just as good as the original
Still the only eye primer that won't crease on my oily lids. I was afraid to try the new formulation because of all the bad reviews, but they were so completely wrong. I agree the packaging is difficult, but I'm never using another brand again.
