Primed & Poreless Primer

What it says it does; ‘our one-of-a-kind makeup primer was scientifically formulated to wear under bronzers and foundation powders or alone to achieve the look of flawless skin without makeup. Vitamins A & C, Mulberry Extract and a powerful dose of Retinol virtually banish pores while tired skin is left hydrated, firmer, and detoxified. Primed & Poreless creates the perfect canvas to allow powders, bronzers and foundations to airbrush onto the skin seamlessly and perfectly blended. Skin appears brighter, fresher and younger. Colour stays true and in place all day. Vegan Friendly. Paraben Free.’

When I first got this I was super excited. I did want the Pure version, however it seems to have disappeared and is no longer available…not over here anyway. I’ve been using this for a few weeks and to be truthful it wasn’t my favourite primer in world. I was somewhat disappointed. HOWEVER, then I re-read the instructions on their website and it turns out your supposed to use a ‘nickel sized amount for your face’. Which is certainly more then what I have been using originally.

So, with this in mind I doubled the amount I used. YES, this does tend to mean I will no doubt fly through the bottle, however it’s AMAZING! My make-up stayed put all day and even though my pores were beginning to poke through, it hadn’t slipped of.

Even though this is a pink-y beige color, it blends out completely colorless. If you're much darker with yellow undertones you might end up with a faint grey cast so I would recommend trying to get a swatch of it before actually picking it up. It also has no describable scent, which is a big plus in my book since I get migraines from perfume. And it made my skin feel so soft and silky, I could've spent my whole day petting my face. Joys of silicones right here babe. The joys of silicone!

Packaging wise it's pretty perfect. It comes in a pink squeeze tube so you can get every last drop of product out and you don't have to worry about contaminating the product with your germy fingers. The text is printed on the container instead of being a sticker you don't have to worry about it peeling off and looking raggedy as time goes by.

My one concern about this is the amount of product you need to use and the amount of product you get in the tube. If you need a nickel sized amount to get the effects advertised, that 1oz is not going to last you very long. Even if you just focus on the parts of your face that need it, you're going to blow through this if you use it every day. And that's just not fair.

Overall, I do really like this. I don’t always use it all over my face; sometimes I just focus on the areas where my pores are more noticeable. However, if you want a primer that’s going to help hide your pores, keep your make up looking flawless for the day, then this is the primer you need!
