Real users generally appreciate the Smashbox Primer Water for its dual-use as a hydrating primer and a setting spray, noting it helps makeup adhere better. However, some users find the spray nozzle's mist quality lacking or feel it can disturb the foundation if not applied correctly.

感觉喷头不怎么好用，没有NYX的好使，喷出来水雾也不大

I feel the nozzle isn't very good, not as easy to use as NYX, and the mist isn't very large.

Users widely praise the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer for its ability to blur pores, smooth skin texture, and extend makeup longevity, though many express frustration over the discontinuation of the Primer Water product.

😊

The original photo finish smooth and blur primer by Smashbox is the one to completely change the game. I love how it instantly smooths and blurs any imperfections.

I hated it. Made me oily.

Smashbox, I need you to bring back my primer water right now. I'm on my final bottle of the Smashbox primer water.

😊

This is the primer everyone’s been talking about... the Smashbox Photo Finish Smooth & Blur… and it’s in a VALUE BUNDLE right now
