Perfect 10 posts are for "tried-and-true" products that stands out amongst the rest and therefore, a product that should be shared with all! Tried means products I've personally tried and true means they do what they say they do. I also keep an eye out for products I use and are suitable for sensitive skin as well as paraben free. These products will certainly get featured on Perfect 10!
Smashbox's awarding Photo Finish Foundation Primer makeup base gets Perfect 10!
Production description on Smashbox's website reads:
Create a perfect canvas for foundation application with this silky, lightweight blend of vitamins A and E, grape seed extract and green tea. Worn alone or under foundation to increase longevity, our best-selling primer helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for flawless skin with a velvety-smooth finish.
I had no idea about the vitamins so no comments on that, but I completely agree that this is a non-oily product that is silky smooth, and increases longevity of your makeup foundation. The primer is suitable for most skin types including sensitive and dry skin. The primer works great even for high definition purposes such as photoshoots, filming and any sort of onstage performances! Used by professionals -tried and true by yours truly.
I have gone through one container (left) of this primer and am on my second one (right) that has SPF 15. Interestingly, since I still have the box for the one on the right I noticed the ingredients included different types of paraben. If you decide to try this product, be sure to carefully read the ingredients on the box so you know what you're getting into. There's a chance that the primer with SPF has a paraben-free forumla now, because the listed ingredients on the website for the standard photo finish primer does not have any parabens listed. Mmm well the time next I'm in Sephora I'll check it out.

Below are photos taken for a promotional photoshoot I did some time ago. The theme as you can see is purple, but the artist who did my makeup introduced me to Smashbox and I've been seeing the product since then. I'm trying to look sultry on the right..lol!
