Smashbox Photo Finish- Anyone use the Green one?

Was just curious if this really worked to tone down redness.

I feel like my red spots always end up showing through my make up a few hours after applying.

Anyone use it? Opinions? Does it work?

Have you been using the Photo Finish Light?

If so, you might not like the green one.

My skin can get a little blotchy in place too, so I went into Sephora and squeezed some into my hands and it was VERY oily. I was so happy I tried it before buying it! I wouldn't put it on my face because it just felt ICK in my hands.

Have you tried Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer? I find that it gives my skin a very even complexion.

I've been using the Bare Minerals Prime Time Primer.
Hmmm- oily might not be too good for me.

Everyone has been telling me to try the LM tinted moisturizer but I'm worried it won't be enough coverage for me... do you find it covers your red spots and keeps them covered?

Yes, definitely!

I have a whole little routine - it only takes me like 5 minutes even though it sounds like a lot of steps... and most people say they can barely tell I wear makeup!

Okay so after my shower, I put Cetaphil lotion on my face and let that just sink in while I dry my hair.

Then I use smashbox photo finish light primer or bare escentuals prime time primer.

After that, I use the laura mercier tinted moisturizer.

Next, I cover any other little spots with Smashbox camera ready concealer stick.

Then it's like starting with a blank canvas! From there, I use a little bare escentuals medium beige all over, warmth as a bronzer, and my regular bare escentuals blush, then a little of the mineral veil.

After that I do my regular eye shadow and mascara and I'm done.

Sounds good! Maybe I'll try it out!
Thanks!
