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

Great for my pores
Maybe it was sitting in store longer than usual??
I bought this primer in store the day before I used it. When I first pumped it out, it was straight oil. I shook the bottle and it still came out as a mix of oil and primer. I had to shake it really hard just to get it usable, which is pretty frustrating for a brand-new product.
So Disappointed
The previous formula was amazing!. It really made me matte, made my foundation stay in place, and took care of those pores. This new formula is just greasy and doesn't do what the last formula did. I'm holding on the last little bit I have of the old one.
Awesome Primer!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Wow! This primer is truly long lasting and works magic with reducing pores appearance. It felt so smooth applying to my face and didn't leave a heavy or greasy feeling residue. The packaging is efficient and makes it easy to pack when traveling.
Smoothing Primer for Full Face Makeup

I have dry, mature skin and this primer is perfect for when I want to wear a full face of makeup. It blurs pores without clogging or drying out my skin. I use it with my traditional foundations and skip it with skin tints that need to soak in a bit more. It's a great pore-filling primer and I would repurchase it again! I received this product for free to review.
