I have an exciting new launch to share with you today, and it’s the Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence. Smashbox recently overhauled their entire primer collection, with new packaging and names, and this latest launch is the newest addition to their Photo Finish range.
Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence
“This primer essence has eight skin-loving, makeup-perfecting benefits. The formula helps balance skin by boosting hydration and strengthening it against the environment.
It visibly plumps, rejuvenates, and nourishes while priming, setting for a natural look, refreshing, and leaving skin looking dewy when worn alone.“
The Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence is available in two different sizes; a 75ml full size for $29, and a mini 30ml size for $15.
Which is great, as we can try the formula by buying the mini to see what we think, before splashing out on the full sized version. You’re only making a saving of $1 by purchasing the full size too, so the smaller size might be more convenient for some.
This new launch is described by Smashbox as being a multitasking face spray that primes, sets, and refreshes while hydrating, nourishing, and strengthening skin.
Directions
- Hold bottle eight to ten inches away from the face.
- Mist onto skin evenly, avoid spraying in eyes.
- Use to prime, set, and refresh, or wear alone for a dewy look.
- Studio Tip: Spray between layers of makeup for a more natural, skin-like finish.
The Smashbox Photo Finish Revitalize 8-in-1 Primer Essence sounds like a new and improved version of their old Primer Water, especially with the supposed eight-in-one claims.
It comes in a white bottle, with a pump dispenser, and the above photo shows the spray has a super fine mist, which would be perfect for misting over the top of makeup, and it’s available right now.
