Before applying my foundation, I always apply a primer. I know a lot of people aren't totally sold on the purpose of primers and tend to skip over them in their routine but I definitely think they make a difference to my make up. After reading countless positive reviews about the multi-award winning Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, I finally caved and decided to try it out for myself.
Smashbox state that this primer 'creates a perfect canvas for foundation application' and I agree completely. The primer smooths beautifully onto my skin leaving it feeling silky and smooth and my foundation glides on effortlessly. Throughout the day, my foundation remains intact and the longevity of my blusher is definitely extended.
To apply this foundation, I take a pea sized amount on my fingers and massage it onto my skin about 5 minutes after applying my moisturiser and leave it to mould to my skin for about 2 minutes before going in with foundation.

I love it - its definitely worth the money. The other day when I was in Boots I saw a new L'Oreal one (forgot the name sorry!) which instantly reminded me of this if you'd like to try that xo
