I never wear primer under my makeup, just because it's not something my skin-type necessarily needs.. but i do find that depending on the weather my makeup can either blow off from the wind, or almost melt on a really hot day! I wanted to try a primer that had lots of good reviews and one that was quite popular already (award-winning infact!) - so i opted for SmashBox Foundation Primer in Photo Finish.
SmashBox have a huge selection of primers, from dark spot correcting to anti-shine to colour correcting - the list is endless! Photo Finish had the most-hype from what i researched, i just wanted something simple that did the basic job, so went for that.
The consistency is something of a smooth, non-sticky gel; it's can feel slippery when applying but it set's smooth and does feel quite soft. Whenever i apply it i always use my fingers, i find that if i use a brush the product can get lost in the brush-hairs, as it's so light and translucent.

I purchased the small tube for £12 because i didn't want to use it on a daily basis, only for extreme weather conditions where my makeup would need to stay put.. or nights out where i wouldn't want my makeup to disappear from the humidity. I've used it twice so far and it's defiantly a good primer, it does make my makeup last that bit longer and doesn't feel like another layer of makeup at all, it's very light and sinks right into my skin.
Lastly I've found that this primer covered my pores around my nose and under my eyes, as well as turn my whole face into a smooth canvas ready for the makeup! The overall look is seamless and well-prepped, by the full size HERE for £25.
