Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer Makeup Clear 1 Count

If you need a matte pore minimizer or something to lessen the shine on your nose or hairline or wherever, this is your product! Works better than anything else I’ve trie - including very expensive ones! Does not have pigment, which is a very good thing. You can refresh if you need to during the day - will go over any makeup ( I use a tinted BB cream). The price of this is amazing, the quality is superb and a little goes a long way. I will not be without it! Read more

I was worried this would make me breakout as I have extremely sensitive skin. It did not, thankfully. I was skeptical, but pleasantly surprised by how smooth and even it made my skin look without making it look matte, which I don't like as it accentuates winkles in my 60 year old skin. I don't wear much, if any, makeup most days but wanted to even-out my skin tone so I gave this a try and it did just that! Even my mostly oblivious husband noticed my skin and said it looked smooth, even and glowing. Pretty good for something that is not a foundation. I was impressed. Read more

I’m a 39-year-old grandma (yes, that’s real) with a disabled vet body and a face that’s basically a scrapbook of bad decisions and genetics. Massive pores, fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, chicken pox scars—you name it. If skin could qualify as a “fixer-upper,” mine would be listed as “great potential, needs full renovation.” The feel: This primer surprised me. It’s smooth, dry, and powdery—like cornstarch, baby powder, or one of those mythical moisturizers that doesn’t leave you looking like you fell asleep in a pizza box. It doesn’t suffocate your skin, and that’s a win. The look: The clear formula is a blessing and a curse. On the plus side, there are no harsh lines if you miss a spot—so you won’t walk around looking like your face stopped at the border of your jawline. On the downside, maybe it’s because it’s clear that it doesn’t quite bulldoze my pores the way I’d like. Performance: It’s good—better than plenty I’ve tried—but if I’m honest, Rimmel’s Stay Matte still holds the crown for me. That one grips harder and makes my skin behave longer. This one smooths things, but doesn’t quite convince me I’m not 39 going on “grandma tired.” The value: Price-wise, it’s great. Totally fair for what it does. My gripe? The tube is too small. I need a size that screams “bulk warehouse,” not “tiny purse sample.” Bottom line: Great for makeup… terrible at covering regret, trauma, and three decades of questionable life choices. 4 stars.

This primer really does blur pores and creates a smooth, even base. It goes on like silk, is lightweight, easy to spread and instantly softens the look of texture without feeling greasy or heavy. What I really like is how natural the finish looks. It doesn’t make your skin oily or overly matte. It feels breathable and looks polished. Makeup layers nicely on top and stays put throughout the day. A little also goes a long way. If your main goal is smoother-looking skin and a longer-lasting makeup finish, this is a great budget-friendly choice. Read more

I absolutely love this! I have used so many that were not helping. I have very big pores! AGHHHHHHH! I tried so many of the big name make up companies and paid a lot of money to always be let down. I really had decided that either it was hopeless or I was going about this all wrong! I wish I could remember how I came across this but I do remember when I saw the price, I said, "it's worth a shot!" When I first put it on I was like yeahhhhh! It's working! But then I said perhaps its all in my head! So I did a test! I put half on one side and compared! Then just to be sure I did it again the next day and asked my girlfriend which side looked smoother. She said definitely that one (the side with this one)! Since I have been using it I now get many compliments on my face! If you read my reviews I am not one to exaggerate. Due to some acne when I was young there are just some spots this does not hide completely. This is not a miracle cure fix all. I just wanted a smoother looking face and this did the trick much better than anything I have tried. My foundation and powder now looks so smooth. Those days of being so jealous of the other girls who had that smooth look are over. I have read many in the reviews who said it was greasy feeling. In a way I understand what they are describing. I have very oily skin ( I guess that why I have such huge pores). But this does not feel greasy or oily at all to me. The best way I can describe it is like vaseline and I hate to say that because it is not like vaseline but as close as I can describe. I have found with make up the best way to do this so it does not clump up the foundation is to first clean your face real well then put it on. I make up my bed and feed my pets to let it dry so to speak. After that it will hold make up pretty good. I put my foundation and concealer and eye shadow on top of it! My eye shadow is paint on and it does not do well with this so I am going to try to some powder eye shadow that will work with this. (anyone got any suggestions-using a yellow and pink that is not very expensive?) But really this has dramatically improved my face and I am so very happy! I am really shocked at the price that it did anything but it did! That is the honest truth! I really hope that helps! ray333ray2001@yahoo.com Read more

The primer I like is kind of pricy so I decided to try this one based on high reviews. Nope, it’s not worth saving money on it because it affects how your skin looks more than the foundation does. This is essentially Vaseline, feels like it and has the same consistency. When my Mom saw me after I used it the first time, she immediately asked me if I changed my skin makeup and advised me to go back to whatever I was doing before—so it wasn’t just my perception of it.
