Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance Primer for golden-hour glow

Published: 2017-01-23 by Marina Milojević in Makeup

If you have oily skin, a makeup primer should be a staple in your makeup bag. The ideal one, saturated with oil-absorbing powders, would keep your foundation in place, and your skin freshly mattified for long hours. But what about normal, combination, or dry skin? Are there any real benefits to using makeup primer with these skin types? According to Smashbox, the beauty world’s No.1 authority on makeup primers, everyone could benefit from using a primer. The key is choosing the right one!

A good makeup primer can transform the look of your skin by creating a nice, matte to dewy finish, and most of them are even designed to mimic the most flattering sources of light. Smashbox’s new Photo Finish Radiance Primer recreates golden-hour lighting, a period shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky. The golden hour is a special time for photographers, because golden light, that shows up during this time, makes everyone look amazing. Smashbox, the only beauty brand born out of a real photo studio, has captured this special moment in a new primer formula that allows you to recreate the golden hour lighting anywhere and anytime.

The satin smooth formula of Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance Primer illuminates, perfects, and enhances skin’s glow, while reducing the appearance of enlarged pores, smoothing out the skin, and concealing redness. The advanced new primer is formulated with moisturizing hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter, to ensure all-day hydration and keep your skin soft and comfortable. 4k, high-definition spheres refract the incoming light to blur pores, fine lines, and imperfections, while micronized amber and rose pearls create a warm, golden glow.
