Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional: Super Setter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Most Helpful Critical Review

Not wowed

I have mostly normal skin that can get oily in the T-zone by the end of the night. My nose has noticeable pores but not so much so that I'll take the time daily to use a primer. While I'm not a big setting spray user, I found the POREfessional: Super Setter an interesting concept and I was excited t...o try it out. It felt like it could be an easy way to extend my makeup wear time while also blurring pores! The packaging is a pretty blue/teal. There are two caps, which feels unnecessary and I'll likely lose the smaller cap sooner rather than later. They could have saved a little plastic and only included one cap. The mister on this spray is AMAZING. It's incredibly fine and lightweight. The bummer thing is, after using it twice, it started leaking where push down on the sprayer.... There are three main claims that are made about this spray. 1) Locks on makeup for 16 hours. ---- Yes, I believe this spray did help my makeup stay in place. One day I wore the spray on one half of my face and not the other. I made sure it was on a day that I had to leave the house and would be wearing a mask. While I was only at the store for 15 minutes, the side of my face that did not have spray had makeup rub off while the side that did was more intact. This was only 15 minutes so who knows how it would have held up if it was longer. Inside my home and when I've gone on runs it has helped my makeup stay in place, but probably not enough for me to get another bottle. 2) Instantly blurs pores & visibly reduces shine. ---- I personally did not see any blurring of my pores 3) Waterproof, smudge-proof & fade-proof. Aside from the waterproof aspect, this claim feels very similar to the first and I cannot speak to the waterproof claim at this time. I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.
