Feels like silk- 11.18.09
Quick Take: luxurious silky feeling
I love the silky feel of this product. It allows me to use less foundation with more even coverage. Shipping from Sephora was very slow.

Smooth Operator- 11.18.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing, fills in lines/wrinkles, smoothing
This is one of my must-haves. Smashbox exceeds my expectations of what a primer should be. Color adjust cannot be beat for neutralizing red tones as it lays the smoothest foundation for my other products. I have tried other primers, but this is THE best!

Great Color Corection and base- 11.18.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, creates a good barrier between make up and skin
The green color correction is perfect for disguising surface redness. I don't leave home without it !

Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
So light yet covers up my red checkes. A little goes a long way so well worth the price. Helps my foundation to stay on longer.

Does What It Says- 11.15.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight, fast-absorbing
Purchased the green primer as I have a enough redness that it comes through my foundation. Switched to this about 3 weeks ago after getting tired of the mess mineral foundations were making in my bathroom. Goes on smooth, takes a small amount to do the job, doesn't make my face itch, and makes the foundation look a bit more polished. Will definately be buying this again

Everybody should try it at least once- 11.13.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight
So far, this is the only primer that has done what it says. It creates an even coat over the skin to prime it for foundation. I used the green one because I have some red blotches in areas and it definitely minimized the redness. I give it a 4 because sometimes when I'm rubbing it over my face, the primer seems to roll up and collect into a ball. But once I distribute it to a surface of my face that hasn't been covered in primer, it evens out just fine. I think it's because it's oil-free?

I like the color and it does feel smooth by it makes my skin look and feel greasy, so I'm not loving it that much.

Photo Finish Color Correcting Foundation Primer- 11.11.09
I am not sure yet if this makes any difference. It doesn't seem to help hide my red spots, I have roseaca and I am always looking for products to curb the redness.

LOVE IT!- 11.06.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight
I started using the green 02/08 and love it.. I have very red skin, not sure why, but I do... I have tried other products, but always come back, so I'm not going to stray again. If you have red skin, get the green it works like no other!!

Helps makeup go on smoothly- 11.05.09
Quick Take: lightweight, fast-absorbing
I really like this primer. It has a soft, powdery finish and only takes a little bit for a lot of coverage. It really helps on those problem skin days when makeup doesn't want to go on smoothly, or when I need it to last a long time. The green tint did not make a very noticeable difference for my skintone because the consistency is too thin.

I love Smashbox Primer. I've tried several other brands and this one is by far the best. Now I never put on make up without it.

Good for roseacea- 10.29.09
Quick Take: evens out skintone, lightweight
I have a very mild case of roseacea, and the green primer works well to tone it down before I apply foundation. I love how smooth my skin is after I apply this product. My foundation stays in place all day.
This primer is not absorbed by the skin. It clings as the top layer filling in little flaws so foundation looks smooth.
I do think this is overpriced considering the ingredients are nothing rare, but Smashbox does mix it all up perfectly so I guess you have to pay for that.

Quick Take: lightweight
This is lightweight and helps my foundation go on easier, but it doesn't last long covering my redness.
