Facial Priming Waters

Smashbox's Camera Ready BB Water contains SPF 30

The Camera Ready BB Water by Smashbox is an expert priming solution for makeup buffs looking for another step in their morning beauty routine. The ultra-light BB Water is best described as a compromise between traditional BB creams and a very light tinted moisturizer.

Described by the brand as a "featherweight" formula, the five-in-one Camera Ready BB Water from Smashbox primes, perfects, hydrates, protects and controls the production of excess oil. Containing 30 SPF, the BB Water offers a demi-matte finish and leaves skin looking natural and smooth. An oil-free formula that still succeeds in delivering adequate moisture, the product has a "liquid silk" texture and works to minimize the appearance of pores while preparing the skin for the application of makeup and is available through Sephora.
