Smashbox is no stranger to the long-wearing, camera-ready makeup game. Best known for its primers and foundations, the beauty brand was born nearly 30 years ago in Smashbox Studios as an answer to the lack of high-performance, photoshoot-quality products.
Three decades later and The Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer remains the brand’s most popular product. But now, Smashbox is expanding the category with a formula specifically designed to blur pores, control shine and lock in makeup all day long. Introducing: the Pore Vanishing Primer.
While the OG formula smooths fine lines and blurs imperfections, which certainly includes pores, the Photo Finish Pore Vanishing Primer, as the name implies, directly targets the pores (without clogging them). It leaves a velvety, matte finish with no white cast.

The newest addition to Smashbox’s cult-favorite family of face primers is accompanied by another drop: a limited-edition cream blush with a dewy, skin-like finish. The Hot Stx Blush Stick, available in four shades (one of which is already sold out), combines vivid pigment payoff with easy diffusion and even blending. Plus, the versatile formula doubles as a lip tint.

Along with the fresh face products, Smashbox is running a special promotion for National Kissing Day. When customers purchase any two (different) lip products, the brand will automatically apply a 25 percent discount and gift a free red makeup bag.
Shoppers can also bundle and save with the Nude Awakening Plumping Gloss Set, currently $39 (reg. $52), and the Golden Hour Glaze Plumping Gloss Trio, currently $58.50 (reg. $78). For these two sets, the 25 percent discount will also automatically apply at checkout.
