Photo Finish Primer Essence - Primer

Mehhh

This is a nice, pre-foundation spray. It's relatively hydrating, but it does require a number of sprays to get adequate coverage. It does not do a whole lot else besides that. I didn't notice any bluring, pore minimizing, or wrinkle reduction when using this product.

Caking be gone!

This product is so lightweight but still very hydrating. I don’t break out with acne plus it gives me a glow and doesn’t go into my wrinkles almost fills and gives a nature look. This is the best primer for make up I ever found. It gives me a very smooth base on which to apply my concealer and stays smooth for hours with no caking. I highly recommend this product.

Great product. Goes on clean and smooth. Lasted long and made my makeup look silky smooth.

I’m super impressed with this primer. I have combo skin and live in the south. It holds up so well in humid weather and smoothes out my skin. Love it!

I was excited to try this as I currently use a setting spray to keep my makeup looking good all day. This seemed to hold up to the challenge but required more product than I am used to. My make up seemed to last. Using as an essence I felt it took a lot to absorb in and left my skin wanting more than it provided. It did have a light scent that quickly disappeared upon application.

Great Setting Spray

I really liked this setting spray. I have oily skin and my eye makeup normally melts halfway through the day even with eyeshadow primer. The Photo Finish Revitalize Primer Essence actually does a great job with keeping my makeup in place throughout the day and I love all the other skincare benefits that comes with it.

Nice, but not great

I was so excited to receive this from Influenster to review, Unfortunately for me, it doesn’t quite live up to the claims. I like this for a skin prep spray, or a setting spray, but I don’t think it quite does everything I need for a primer. It hydrated nicely, but it has a slightly sticky finish (which might help foundation adhere to the skin) other than that I don’t feel like it does the other things a primer should do as far as blurring and pore filling. It’s nice, I’ll definitely use it up, but I don’t think it replaces my favorite mists and it definitely doesn’t replace my favorite primers.

Not for me

Pro and the only pro for me was I liked how it felt on my face before putting my make up on. Other than that, I didn’t notice a difference, not a fan of the scent, and saw no benefit with this.

My skin was not a fan

Unfortunately, I was unable to really, truly test this product because my skin had a bad reaction to it. I’m still not sure which ingredient my skin didn’t like, but my face is still actively breaking out since I used it. I can say the sprayer nozzle is great lol!

Refreshing and effective facial primer! Love the spray as it goes on so easy with great coverage

Meh.

I honestly didn’t get much out of this. I tried it before applying makeup and after. It didn’t necessarily feel hydrating, and it somehow made my mascara flake off and leave crispy pieces on my face? Which doesn’t normally happen without this product.

Great primer and setting spray!

I wasn't sure I'd like this, but I'm pleasantly surprised! I really enjoy using this as a primer AND a setting spray. I have combination skin that tends to be oily in the hotter weather and this product worked very well at leaving my skin refreshed, not shiny and not sticky. The product is labeled as unscented, but does manage to still have a pleasant scent itself. I love that there are many uses for this product and it does a great job of leaving your skin refreshed and moisturized as well. Makeup held up all day and my skin felt so nice, not sticky like other sprays. all in all, this is a great product for priming and setting or just a spritz of moisture on the go. I highly recommend!
