Looking for a shadow primer that lasts 24 hours and locks on color? Something with no fading or creasing, or even having to worry about humidity or sweat! Smashbox’s 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer makes shadows last, and has the added benefit of making color appear more vibrant.
I love this primer. My eyeshadow goes on smoothly and blends beautifully. I have trouble with my eye shadow blending together and smudging. By the end of the day it’s a hot mess. With this product my eye shadow did not even budge after 12 hours of wear.
I have used it with both powder and cream shadows, and have found it to work great with each helping to prevent that annoying makeup crease. The primer itself is very smooth and light, and semi clear, so it brightens your eyes a little before you use the powder.
This also makes the eyeshadow colors be their true color. It is not sticky and is very easy to blend into your skin. It makes the makeup stay put through the day, but it is still easy to blend colors together and smudge eyeliner for a smokey eye.
And a little dab goes a long way. I do not go anywhere without my tube these days, if I plan to wear makeup. I will forever be grateful to this little tube of magic.
Smashbox’s 24 Hour Photo Finish Shadow Primer retails for $20.00. It may be purchased at Sephora or Ulta (not affiliate links).

This is the primer I'm using at the moment. It's definitely a really good one – I feel like it will take me years to get through the tube as well.

I have stayed faithful with my Urban Decay primer and never tried other brands. I only recently purchased my first Smashbox product and am really impressed by it so I might finally give this primer a go. Great review as always, Erica. xx

I seen an offer in Boots the other day to get all three smashbox primer samples for only £12, I'm honestly so temped. I've wanted to try a smashbox primer out for the longest time and from your review, it sounds just as perfect as I imagine it to be! x
