Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer with Salicylic Acid – Oil Control & Pore-Blurring Base
Description
The Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer with Salicylic Acid redefines what a primer can do. Tailored for oily and combination skin types, this powerhouse product delivers a refined matte finish, visibly minimized pores, and an enhanced foundation wear experience. Formulated with a skincare-infused Silkscreen Complex — combining antioxidants, probiotic extract, vitamins and algae — plus witch hazel, salicylic acid and zinc to help regulate oil production and defend skin from pollution and blue-light damage.
It creates a lightweight, breathable barrier that not only perfects your canvas but helps your makeup last longer, while maintaining a comfortable, non-drying feel.
This primer is ideal when you’re prepping for a full glam look, long workday, or any situation where you want your skin to stay fresh, matte and picture-ready.
Available Sizes
• Size: 1 oz / 30 mL (standard)
• Skin Type: Best suited for oily, combination and breakout-prone skin.
Why You Should Buy
• Oil & Shine Control: With salicylic acid and zinc, it helps regulate excess oil and keep your complexion matte and balanced throughout the day.
• Pore-Minimizing + Blurring Effect: Visibly smooths texture and blurs the appearance of pores for a refined base.
• Skincare-Infused Primer: Unlike traditional primers that only fill in pores, this formula also includes a Silkscreen Complex (antioxidants + algae + vitamins + probiotics) to defend skin from environmental stress.
• Longevity: Helps your makeup adhere better and stay fresh longer — great for long shifts, events, photo ops or everyday wear under heat/humidity.
• Suitable for Acne-Prone Skin: Non-acnegenic and designed for oilier skin types, supporting clearer-looking skin when used as part of a routine.
FAQs
Q: Can I use this primer under eye makeup or concealer?
A: Yes — you can apply a light layer under the eye area, but be cautious on very dry under-eye skin as matte primers can emphasise dryness.
Q: Is this suitable for dry skin?
A: This primer is formulated especially for oily to combination skin. If your skin is very dry, you may find the matte finish accentuates dry patches. Consider pairing it with a hydrator or using a different primer on drier areas.
Q: Is it silicone-based?
A: Yes, the formula contains dimethicone and other silicone-derived ingredients to help create a smooth barrier and blur texture.
Q: Is the product vegan/cruelty-free?
A: According to official listings, Smashbox positions this formula as cruelty-free.
Q: How long will it last on my face?
A: It helps your makeup look better for up to 12 hours under ideal conditions.
Q: Can I wear it alone (no foundation)?
A: Absolutely. For a minimalist makeup approach, apply the primer, then concealer or a light tinted moisturizer on top. Its blurring, smoothing effect works even without full foundation.
