EXCELLENT PRIMER that you need to try!

I have been loving the Rare Beauty collection, So I had to try this. It's a silicone formula that just melts into the skin like butter down to a mattifying finish. Reduced my fine lines and imperfections giving it a blurring effect. Leaves skin velvety smooth and hydrated. Pores no longer visible. G...

This primer would probably better suit more youthful skin and almost no visible pores. I'm in my 40's and my skin is pretty good, I mainly use a skin tint or light foundation, however, right away I noticed it did absolutely nothing for my pores. The primer itself held up pretty well.

So smooth

This primer goes on so smoothly sometimes i just pht it on without makeup. I have not notcied it diffusing pores but i am still learning makeup so it may take a while to even realize what I'm actually looking for. It feels good on your skin and its good under makeup after letting it sit a while.

I've tried many primers and honestly this isn't anything special. I feels goes on easily and feels good on the skin but doesn't blur my pores like other primers do

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Ive searched for pore minimizing primers for a while and i tried this one on a whim and love love love it! It leaves my skin feeling so soft and helps blur pores! I have combination oily/dry skin and usually do not wear foundation, i only use the primer because I feel it's sufficient for me!

This primer feels incredible as you put it on! My makeup lasts no much longer and looks wayy less cakey after a long day! My new go-to!

This primer would probably better suit more youthful skin and almost no visible pores. I'm in my 40's and my skin is pretty good, I mainly use a skin tint or light foundation, however, right away I noticed it did absolutely nothing for my pores. The primer itself held up pretty well. Ran a few errands today in 80 degree weather and my makeup was fine. I wouldn't recommend it for someone who is actually looking to blur or mask their pores. I was also surprised at its size, I don't know why I didn't notice the ounces but it appears obviously smaller than most of my other primers. I'm sure it works for others, it's just not the one for me.
