I have never had this problem with the other pore minimizer, but after i apploy it, I have to blend it in, or it will literally crumb off my face, and mess up my makeup. Why is it doing that? Are you suppose to put it on and then let it sit for a few minutes? I never had that problem with the other pore minimizer, so it is weird. It like just clumps together and rolls of the face

The previous formula was my go to. Made my skin so flawless I didn't even need foundation and I have really large pores. I really wanted to like this and it sucks I have to find a new primer :( No idea why they discontinued such an amazing product. I still have a little left and am hoarding it for special occasions
Nice product

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really loved the sleek packaging. Admittedly I don't typically use primer as I'm prone to getting oily throughout the day, but I have enjoyed this product so far.
Best kept secret!
For my big pores and oily girls this primer is for you, a little goes a long way, love the texture it's smooth like butter, leaves skin feeling like a new born baby, definitely recommend
Smooth finish and blurs!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This primer has a smooth, lightweight consistency that applies easily and blends well into the skin. It noticeably blurs pores and creates a more even base without feeling heavy or greasy. I like that it doesn't leave a residue or pill when layering foundation on top. My makeup looks smoother right after application and stays looking more polished throughout the day. It wears well without breaking down or emphasizing texture, especially in areas where pores are more visible. Overall, it gives a clean, soft-focus finish.
Love product but didn't realize it came untinted
I bought a little mini trial tube of this primer some time ago. It was tinted and I loved that because it didn't require additional makeup to cover pores and blemishes. This product feels like a dream on your skin! That said...I returned to Ulta recently to purchase another tube. Not realizing it came in both "tinted" & "clear" I grabbed a larger box/tube this time. Imagine my dissapointment when I didn't get the same coverage when I applied it. A suggestion...maybe make the boxes reflect the fact that 1 is tinted and the other not? Bottom line: I would recommend BUT I would also stress that there is "Tinted" & "clear". Also, if you'd like to send me a free tube of the tinted it would be GREATLY appreciated! :)
