BenefitCosmetics The POREfessional Pore Minimizing Balm Face Primer, .25 Ounce

This was my first time trying this and instead of spending a ton on a full size I purchased this one for a trial run. Here are my thoughts:The application was easy - just take a tiny bit and use a finger to apply. I'm sure you could use a sponge or something else, but I didn't want to waste any from getting sucked up.Coverage: Although it does what it says, I have some acne scars and deeper lines that I wish it would have covered fully - however it just smoothed them over. It works amazing for pores (which I have large ones on my nose - ugh!) and when used on the entire face gives a nice matte look. I use this usually before I apply foundation - but the color matches my skin tone so well that I could probably use it after.It doesn't leave a residue or cause irritation. It's very mild. Overall this is a great product. It's not something that I use as part of my everyday routine, but it is something that I use when going out or for other occasions. I will absolutely purchase this product in the future.

This make-up is wonderful! It glides on so smooth and gives your skin a very soft, flawless appearance. Although it has a hint of shade to it, you would never know it. It maintains your natural skin color. Only a very tiny amount is needed to give your face full coverage. You will want to use it sparingly because it is very expensive. I always put a base of Neutrogena sunscreen on first, and then the POREfessional, and I'm good to go! I love it! My only complaint, is it's so darn expensive!

Size is much smaller than I anticipated but, the product itself is wonderful. It goes on smooth and silky. Feels like velvet and doesn't smell bad or leave any residue. Quick absorbsion, and no breakouts.

I really love this stuff. And it smells great!

I love this primer SO much. It is very slightly tinted (in a mostly universal shade) and evens skin-tone as well as camouflaging pores (and fine lines to an extent). Applies easily with a super silky and light consistency. It is a matte primer, and I feel that's why it's so effective at evening out your skin, sometimes I feel like primers that "illuminate" almost exacerbate flaws. I checked "occasionally" for how often it needs to be applied during the day, but everyone's skin is different. I have combo skin and sometimes apply it on the t-zone area later in the day to refresh my makeup.
