        Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

        I found this Nars' Pore and Shine Control Primer pulled the oil to the top of my pores especially around my nose. It dried out the skin more than it controlled the oil. It went on very nicely; however, the product did not work for my skin.

        Highly recommend this primer

        By Mrs.Rose-Black

        from Okc

        Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

        I've tried many and I mean primers all different high end. I get up at 7:00 everyday I'll say about to hours or so later it's time to touch up with other primers. My makeup is flawless all day with this primer until about late evening. Then my T-Zone starts to shine a little but it's okay considering I put it on early morning and when I get home it's almost time for bed. I love this primer NARS is one of my favorite products to use.

        Holy Grail Primer

        By B.D

        from Orlando, FL

        Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

        I got this as a sample and immediately fell in love that I went out and bought the full size. I have extremely oily skin and this makes my makeup look so pretty evertime I use it. I didn't notice much, as far as pore minimizing goes though.

        Holy Grail Primer

        By CaraM80

        from NYC

        Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

        I never wear primer because they don't do anything for me but I got a large sample of this one and it is amazing! Controls oil almost all day, blurs pores and the best part, is not a slippy silicone mess. If you can't stand silicone primers, like me, I highly recommend trying this!

        Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

        It blurs pores but does not control oil very well. I see myself getting oily. I will not be repurchasing.

          Comments about NARS Pore & Shine Control Primer:

          Bought this primer mainly for oil control. Works very well without over drying skin. Went about 5 hrs without touch up. Very pleased. Didn't notice huge difference in pore size, but applies smooth under makeup. I use with Mac Studio Fix Powder and Nars Concealer. Nice smell and feel.

          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

              • Q:

                This might be a dumb question, but I assume you apply moisturizer before primer?
                Also, if I use a cc cream can I still use the primer under it?

                  In order to properly prep your skin, you should apply your moisturizer before your primer. You can use our primers under any foundation of your choice, including a cc cream.
