Maybelline New York Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer – Lightweight Blurring Makeup Base – Smooth Matte Finish for Baby-Soft Skin, Smooth-Glide Formula for All-Day Wear, 22ml

I'm going to describe my skin type in case it helps anyone else thinking of trying this. I guess my skin would be described as normal/dry but not dry in the sense of like patches of dry skin...more in that it feels tight a lot of the time so I'm more inclined to describe it as dehydrated. I also have sensitive skin and although I don't suffer from spots or breakouts I will get an odd red blemish if I am sensitive or allergic to an ingredient or product. I'm also in my mid 40's so do have a few wee fine lines so am super careful not to use anything that will settle into them or highlight them. Ok that's out of the way now I really wanted to try this...I have the Benefit Pore Professional and I have read that this is a dupe for that. The BPP works great but I'm not crazy about the price as I wear a full face of make up every day so thought this will be a great cost effective replacement if it works. I have found this also has that silicone feel and a little goes a long way and I have found the best results from this hav been achieved when rather than applying it like a moisturiser I first concentrate on the areas I feel need it first...I have a few enlarged pores around my nose and of course the fine lines around the corners of my eyes so I take a little and press it into these areas gently...sort of like filling in the pores and lines and then blend out from these areas to lightly cover the rest of my face. This method of applying it works so well for me and it does give the impression of blurring out those lines and pores and even before applying my foundation my skin is already looking and feeling smooth. Using this as a base has also cut in half how much foundation I used to apply....instead of 2~3 pumps I only need to use 1~2 at most, foundation applies so beautifully and using this primer I have been able to achieve a flawless and smooth face which is every bit as good as using the BPP. My face looks even and I don't get that tight, dry feeling throughout the day so I think its also helping to lock in my serum and moisturiser. I don't need to touch up during the day and blusher/bronzer are still in place. I'm enjoying this primer very much...if the silicone feel doesn't bother you I'd give it a try if you are thinking about it, just remember a little goes a long way. I'm not sure how this would control oil shine if you have oily skin though...I can imagine it would give some oil control. I have used many primers including Laura mercier, Clarins, BPP, etc and this works brilliantly for me so I'd definitely recommend trying it especially if you have a similar skin type. Hope this helps someone!. :-)

Perfect 💯 I also have the upgrade to this, both are just as good, as each other and minimise my pores, Leaves skin smooth and drys clear, and perfect for make up

Not sealed which is not great but product itself is good. Easy to use and very soft on the face. Made my face smoother for sure and the pores less noticeable.

Was dubious of using this as my pores have been huge for years now and not even due to spots. They just don’t seem to “close” and blend in. Although it’s a very small tube, the price is reasonable enough to “stock up” on. You don’t need more than 10p size amounts. It goes on easily, not oily. No overpowering smell or (like I normally get with moisture/wrinkle creams) it doesn’t give me a slight burning sensation. It gives a feeling of a powdery, sleek finish but it doesn’t look shiny or come back off onto fingers, skin or clothes. It’s just literally the feeling. I’ve used it after cleaning my face just before bed for 2 days now and my pores already look like they are “fading” my 8 year old daughter, after the first application actually asked the next morning “what have you put on your face? It looks smoother” (??!!!) I will definitely be stocking up on this product to use morning and night time. I’ve even noticed the fine lines in corners of my eyes have completely gone. (Definitely wish I took before picture to show difference! 😩) I also have one deep crease on side of chin that’s fading too. Very long story short……. BRILLIANT 🤩

I have used this before, and I should have trusted my lady instincts that this does not work, for me. I use another product that has been good but I thought I would retry it again and I'm sorry I did as it doesn't help with pores, my opinion.

Not used a lot but seems ok. Rubs in well,but can't see much difference yet.

Excellent product. Does what it says with impressive results. Check it works with your foundation first, then give it a try, it's well worth it.

Brilliant. Does excellent job. Totally smooth skin

Molto buono ..pelle morbida, buon profumo pori ristretti...fa bene il suo lavoro..ottimo prezzo.. soddisfatta

Love this new face primer .... cheap amazing product .... as good as Smashbox & quarter of the price ;-)

Ich nutze diesen Primer nun schon seit 3 Jahren und habe es zig Mal nachgekauft. Ich habe zuvor viele andere Marken benutzt und nichts war bis jetzt besser als das. Ich habe trockene Haut, bei mir funktioniert die Base sehr gut. Ich nutze davor eine Tagescreme und erst da diese Base. Es hat eine Vaseline ähnliche Konsistenz. Lässt sich super gut auftragen. Man braucht wirklich nur ganz wenig davon. Ich habe sensiblen Haut vertrage es sehr gut. Das Make Up sieht damit ebenmäßiger aus und hält länger. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit und werde auch bei diesem Produkt bleiben.

Great for enlarged pore control

Le produit est arrivé très bien emballé, le packaging est propre et soigné, ce qui donne déjà une bonne première impression. À l’ouverture, tout était conforme à la description et en parfait état. Après utilisation, je peux dire qu’il répond parfaitement à mes attentes. Il est simple à utiliser et fait exactement ce pour quoi je l’ai acheté. La qualité est au rendez-vous et on sent que ce n’est pas un produit bas de gamme. Je l’utilise régulièrement depuis quelques jours/semaines et je suis satisfaite du résultat. C’est un bon rapport qualité-prix et je n’hésiterais pas à le recommander. En résumé, une bonne surprise. Je suis contente de mon achat.
