New from Smashbox – and designed to give a helping hand in the heat – Photo Finish Primerizer (£30) is a clever product that combines primer with moisturiser, gives 24-hour hydration and keeping make-up in place. Infused with skin-restoring Niacinamide and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid, the featherlight formula absorbs instantly, sets in second and smooths, plumps and conditions skin. Fine lines are softened, pores are blurred and the complexion is softly saturated with a dewy glow. Also available is the classic Photo Finish Foundation Primer (£22) – this time in a handy stick format. Convenient and carriable, its unique silky texture glides over skin with tug-free application. It preps and smooths skin, immediately blurring imperfections, minimising the appearance of fine lines and pores, and controls shine for up to 12 hours. Both products are on counter from 12th July.
