alternative to Smashbox photo finish primer

[ChablisLover]

anyone any suggestion to an alternative?

Mine is running out and at £25 is quite expensive

anyone have any cheaper suggestions or should i just bite the bullet and buy it?

You beauty, Chablis. I was just going to post the same question!

I use L'oreal Photo perfect primer which I love (and it's cheaper at £15) but it comes in a pot and I have long nails and the two don't go!

I have the smashbox primer in my basket on the boots website but wanted to check with S&B pals before I shell out again!

[ChablisLover]

ah great minds and all that yoghurty.

fingers crossed someone can help us

No7 airbrush away is good, you dont need much & dont need to apply it all over the face. (I work for No7 btw)
I've used MAC prep & prime before, it was ok, nothing amazing.

You can get it cheaper than Boots on ebay, I buy mine there and it's usually around £28-30 for a 60ml tube; Boots is £25 for 30ml.

Alternatively I've read that Lanacane anti chafing gel is exactly the same stuff and that is £6.65 for 30ml on the Boots website, gotta be worth a try!!

Lanacane anti chafing gel has exactly same ingredients and is a known dupe in beauty world.
I have some and its works well. Makes my face really smooth and silky!

Yep kiwiw is right, Lanacane is the same, it's amazing stuff.

Another vote for Lanacane here....I'm sure the staff at my local Boots must think I've got a problem the amount of this stuff I buy. Put it on under my DW today and looks great...remember to give it a couple of minutes to set before your foundation....

hang on hang on.

smashbox primer is the same as fandango cream ??

[valiumredhead]

It's the anti chaff version NOT anything you put near your nether regions!

[piratecat]

ok so it's a different type lol!

[ChablisLover]

Thanks all

Will look at lanacane anti chaff stuff and the mua stuff from SuperDrug

Are you sure that the lanacane is the same?

[SundaySimmons]

I second lanacane. Do wait a few minutes before applying foundation.

[WetDog]

I've tried Lanacane and didn't think it was that great (got it from Poundland btw, not £6!!!) but I didn't leave it a few minutes before applying foundation, so will try it again tomorrow.

[SayMama]

I've started using Lanacane thanks to vallum seems to do the trick!

i've also got the MUA one and really don't think much of it.

No 7 airbrush away here - they do a colour correcting one.
