Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Primer

Breakdown

5 ingredients to avoid

Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Primer scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Primer lists 17 ingredients, starting with Isododecane, Dimethicone, Isohexadecane, Silica and Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Smashbox Photo Finish Pore-Vanishing Primer scores worse than most foundation & concealer we have scored. A higher-scoring option in foundation & concealer is RMS Beauty UnPowder Untinted at 96/100.
