Face Primers: Smashbox vs. Benefit
7:00 AMI'll admit that I'm new to the world of face primers, and I'll also admit that I'm no expert on make-up or skin care. With that being said, I want to share a couple of products I've been using and how they've been working for me.
I got the Smashbox primer as a sample at Sephora a while back. I later found the Benefit POREfessional primer at Ulta and decided to try it to see which product I liked better.
First up is Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer:
This clear, silky product may seem like it's going to be greasy, but it's really not. It feels so light on my skin that I can't even tell it's there. It was easy to apply and felt very lightweight. Also, my make-up stays in place all day. It is on the pricy side, which is a major downfall for me.
Next up is Benefit The POREfessional Face Primer:
This primer, while it still feels silky, almost has a look of a BB cream or tinted moisturizer. It also felt super light and was easy to apply. It blends well and was long lasting. This primer is slightly cheaper than Smashbox.
The result:
With both products, a little goes a long way. I used about a pea size amount each application. I'm no stranger to Benefit products. I use several of their products and love them. This was my first product to try from Smashbox. Overall, I love them both. I'll probably stick with Benefit due to it being slightly cheaper and because I love Benefit products in general.
Do you use a face primer? What product do you use?
