This isn't bad but I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference. It's def moisturizing but I use a great undereye moisturizer that does that job. I have fine lines so maybe it would work better for those with deeper lines.

Review 3 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Perfect am eye cream plus primer
-05.24.13
Quick Take: crease resistant, color correcting, keeps your bottom liner/ mascara on
I realized when reading the Ingredient list that this is basically a high end eye cream minus anything that would break down your eye makeup or concealer.
It is refreshing to apply every morning and takes out all my puffiness. There really isn't anything else out there like this product.
You have to use different primers for the lid and under eye people! The skin is totally different and the right primers make all the difference,
Chances are your eye cream you are using may contain retinols (which are great!) but in my opinion should only be used in the pm, never under makeup. If it breaks down dead skin cells it certainly will break down your Conceler.

Review 4 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Best undereye primer
-05.20.13
Quick Take: creamy, crease resistant
I have hereditary dark circles that I've been struggling to conceal since I was about 13. Because of this, I've become quite the concealer junkie. It took a while, but I finally realized that the most important step in concealing dark circles is properly priming the undereye area first.
smashbox has great primers in general, but I absolutely love the undereye primer. It has an immediate brightening effect, is super smooth, and 100% crease resistant. While using this, I haven't had my concealer cake up on me yet. I work really long hours, sometimes up to 16 at a time, and this helps my concealer last ALL day with no touch ups. I can't live without this stuff!

Review 5 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Add this to your make up bag
-05.19.13
Love this product. Never in a million years would I think I need an under eye primer. I can't use under eye creams, they make my eyes puffy. This product on the other-hand does what it states. It reduces fine lines and noticeably diminishes dark circles. It feels cold upon contact but blends in quickly and evenly. One of my new favorite products.

Review 6 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Eye creases
-05.07.13
Quick Take: creamy
It is not as hydrating as I was hoping for. I haven't had any reaction to it with my sensitive skin, so that is a plus. My foundation did go on a little smoother under my eyes and not settle into fine lines.

Review 8 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Great primer
-04.28.13
I've noticed that my concealer doesn't crease as much with this primer. Not drying nor thick. Does not irritate my sensitive skin. I would recommend to anyone frustrated with their current under eye concealer...this product will improve its application and lasting effects.

Review 9 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
I like it.
-04.27.13
Quick Take: color correcting
For me, it brightens up my under eye area. I like using it alone (over eye cream). However, I have tried using this several ways. I use it over eye cream and concealer its great. When I use it without eye cream, it feels dry and the concealer does set in the creases.

Review 10 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
Not a bad primer
-04.22.13
This is a good primer, but just doesn't do the wonders that the BareMinerals Stroke of Light concealer/brightener does. I bought this by accident thinking it was the BareMinerals product. While it's good, and I'll keep it, I recommend the other for better coverage.

This creates the perfect base for your concealer. I use this with corrector and/or concealer. My under eye area looks smooth.

Ultra hydrating
-04.18.13
First time using this. Decided to try since I use smash box face primers. It's ultra hydrating and prevents a cakey under eye look.

Adds to my Arsenal
-04.12.13
Quick Take: brightening, smoothing, non-irritating
This does offer some smoothing ,and some brightening to my soon to be 45 yr old eye area. My eyes are puffy, with circles and lines even on a good day, so I use this with 2 expensive eye creams(1 for lines and 1 for moisture) and a concealer . Some of you can get away with only using this...hence I give it 4 stars-for me it's really only a 3 star product.

Review 16 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
disappointed
-04.08.13
Quick Take: for younger women with no wrinkles
The primer went on smoothly & had nice reflective qualities. But, after 2-3 hours, it dried out and made my wrinkles show up more. I returned it.

Don't waste your money
-04.03.13
I was looking for something that would help my concealer stay put and not crease. This does nothing for me. Truth is, it makes my concealer slides and set into my lines even more...sad.

Review 19 for Photo Finish Hydrating Under Eye Primer
It doesn't do ANYTHING, don't waste your money
-04.03.13
Quick Take: worthless
Pleasant, light formula, easily absorbed, has some sparkle to it... but it does absolutely nothing!!! Doesn't help my undereye concealer stay on longer, it still creases, doesn't reduce the look of the lines... Literally, the result is the same whether I use this (pricey!) product or not. Don't waste YOUR money
