Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Blurring & Smoothing Foundation with Niacinamide

Most Helpful Positive Review

Amazing

Okay, so I've been on the hunt for a lightweight foundation that still gives me that flawless, soft-matte finish without looking cakey—or worse, emphasizing my pores. I picked up the Porefessional foundation in 15N Incredible, and honestly, I'm kind of blown away. First off, the shade match? Spot o...n. I have light neutral skin, and 15N sits beautifully—no weird orange tint or ashiness. It blends in effortlessly with a brush or sponge (I've tried both), and it doesn't oxidize throughout the day. That alone already puts it ahead of a lot of foundations I've tried. What really impressed me, though, is the texture. It feels super silky going on, not thick at all, but it somehow manages to blur my pores in a way that feels almost like a filter. I wouldn't say it gives full coverage—it's more of a medium buildable—but it does a great job evening out my tone and making my skin look smooth without looking like I'm wearing a ton of makeup. Now, if you're oily like me, you'll appreciate this: it held up surprisingly well through a full workday and even a humid walk home. I did need to blot my T-zone around hour six, but the foundation didn't break apart or get patchy, which is usually my biggest gripe. One small thing: if you have dry patches, it might cling a bit unless you really prep your skin. I'd recommend a hydrating primer underneath if you're on the drier side. Overall 15N Incredible is exactly that—incredible. It's become my go-to for everyday wear when I want to look polished but not overdone. Plus, the packaging is sleek, and it travels well (important for me). I definitely plan to repurchase.
