ABOUT SMASHBOX COSMETICS:

“Everything carries out of the studio into reality.” – Davis Factor

Born in a Los Angeles photo studio in 1990 by acclaimed celebrity and fashion photographer Davis Factor, Smashbox very quickly became a creative hub for world-class photographers, actors, models and musicians. The creative energy on set showed no signs of slowing down – except when the team had to stop for makeup touch ups. In 1996, Smashbox Cosmetics was officially born.

In 2000, Davis created the Original Photo Finish Smooth & Blur Primer, our original long-lasting primer. Now a cult-favorite, the formula helps makeup look flawless, feel better, and last longer—all day, every day, on set, and after the shoot wraps.

Today, Smashbox carries that legacy with studio-grade, high-performance makeup that makes artistry easy—and camera-ready.
