Born in a legendary photographic studio and tested by professional photographers, makeup artists and models. Smashbox cosmetics come from the sunny L.A. and they’ll make you look stunning – whether you’re in front of a camera or not. An accumulation of challenges has sadly led to the incredibly difficult decision to cease trading Smashbox in the UK & Ireland. Thank you for your support and kindness. When can I continue shopping on smashbox.co.uk? Smashbox was started by photographer Davis Factor and his brother Dean, the great-grandsons of Hollywood legend Max Factor. In 1990, the brothers founded a creative photographic studio Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles which soon became the “it” place for photographers, actors, models and musicians. In 1996, Davis used all of his experience from professional photography and founded Smashbox cosmetics brand. His first product was the Photo Finish Primer that keeps your foundation perfect for as long as you want – now a truly legendary product among makeup artists.
