Benefit The POREfessional Primer

Really wanted to like this product...

I bought the mini to try, I've never used a "pore minimizer" cream before. I really wanted to like it... pores are still as visible as before I tried this product. I use other products by Benefit and really like them... for me it was more like a "POREletdown" .

eat for 3 days or buy value size

I love this product. But, the value size price is outrageous. In perhaps 6 years, it's gone up by 20 dollars for the same size... man, just greedy. 2 stars for extreme price increase

I'm definitely switching my make up routine

I've been using this primer for about two months now, and I absolutely love it! It feels so soft and smooth when I apply it. I pair it with my concealer, and it really helps me cover up all my skin "issues". I definitely recommend giving it a try!

A MUST HAVE FOR SMOOTH SKIN

Smoothest primer I have ever purchased! 5/5 stars. Never looked this soft and smooth before

Excellent choice for Pore minimise

Excellent choice for open pores, it visibly minimise the open pores after applying, very smooth on face.

My forever primer

Can’t do my makeup without this one. Already repurchased it so many times!

My holy grail primer!

I had used this primer previously and absolutely loved it. I decided to try out some other brands but ultimately came back to this one. It's like my holy grail primer. My foundation glides on and blends perfectly. Even if I'm not wearing makeup, I'll put a little bit on after my moisturizer just to look a bit more put together. It's definitely a staple in my makeup collection.

Disappointing formula change

This was one of my favorite products, but the formula has been changed. I noticed the packaging is different. It used to be thicker and fill in my pores instantly. Now it is thin and oily. It feels greasy on the face and doesn’t fill in pores nearly as well. Disappointing.

Blurs my pores

I have large visible pores and this definitely blurs them and makes them appear smaller. It works great under my foundation.

I don’t love the consistency of this and even just swatching it on the back of my hand, I can tell how bad it will pill. Once I actually try it on my face, it definitely is smoothing and blurring, however as soon as I add a foundation or complexion product on top, if I’m not careful or I blend too much, the primer will pill and ball up, completely taking away the point of using this product to begin with. I didn’t bother to finish this product and will not repurch

not bad

does it make my pores disappear? nah, not really. but it does provide a super soft and velvety layer for makeup to be applied to. I am obsessed with the way this products feels on my skin and it blurs my skin a bit while covering up some of my pores- but I do have a lot so that may just be me. if you are a full-beat type of girl, this product (I think) can make an excellent base for a matte makeup look. I don't see myself buying this again since I do not go to it often, but it feels luxurious whenever I do have it on.

works great on oily skin

I bought this primer and I really liked it, a small amount is enough to cover the skin of the face and it instantly becomes matte and smooth. I would recommend it to those who have really oily skin, but not dry
