Got quite a few mini versions of this primer and I use it now and then. Pores isn't a concern for me so I cannot comment on what it can actually do for enlarged pores. This primer does feel very nice on my skin and preps it nicely for a smooth foundation application. This primer cannot be worn on its own though as I noticed it gives a little white cast on the skin.
I would not recommend to people with oily skin or large pores (everything this product is based on actually). not even an hour later and I have oil patches everywhere and my pores look even bigger than they were before I put it on. It feels really nice when you put it on and it instantly blurs and mattifies, but it does not last. Plus its so expensive so I'd rather not. I got the mini to try it out - maybe do that before you commit to the fuller (more expensive) one.
I received a few samples of this primer and was excited to try it because I've seen so many Youtube gurus rave about it. I have combination to oily skin so i needed something that would mattify my skin as well as provide longer wear with minimal touch up with my foundation. This primer provided a smooth canvas for my makeup and make applying my foundation easier. I loved the way it felt on my skin on initial application so i had high hopes. After a few hours of wear i checked my t-zone because that's the part of my face that gets super oily and i must say, i was quite liking the results. I didn't touch up, just to really put it to the test and see how much longer i could wear without and any touch ups. After 8 hours i looked my normal oily self and definitely needed to touch up. This is a great product especially for ladies with oily skin. It definitely makes ones skin look flawless and smooth. Only negative comment is the price point but i guess you value for your money and a little goes a long way, so one tube should last you quite a long time.
I have been using this primer for about a week now and I am just loving it. I have noticeably large pores and this primer does a great job of hiding them. My foundation goes on like a dream over this primer and lasts all day. The only disappointing factor is the price - I paid just over R400 for this product. Saying that I, have used similar, if not better primers. Such as the Loreal Miracle Blur - which I think is an amazing primer and for a decent price I would rather repurchase the Loreal instead of the Benfit again.
I received a sample of this and was so excited to try it :) as soon as I woke up the next morning for work I took a tiny amount and spread it all over my face focusing on the places where I had a few larger pores , it covered them perfectly, after applying my foundation over it - my skin looked AMAZING! but then after a few days of using this product my skin started to become really dry and patchy :( ive stopped using it for now , will give it a try later again and see if it still has the same drying out effect
I got a sample from a friend, and it was a really lovely product. I've never used a primer before, and this made my skin feel soft and smooth. It made my foundation stay put the whole day, which was great since I didn't need to touch it up. While it was great, I'm not willing to spend so much on this, when there might be a cheaper option out there that would suit me as well. But I would definitely recommend this to everyone.
I love primers. This is because I am usually in a rush and the primer does a brilliant job of filling in pores and creating a nice smooth canvas for my powder (yes, I do not wear foundation all the time because I am lazy). And I have used my share of different primers.
To be completely honest while I did like this one for it's presentation and smell, I was not blown away by the products main feature. This is simply because I have used much cheaper products that do pretty much the same job. At R395 a pop, it is a little stiff. Also because it is silicone based, it doesn't really help my oily t-zone much.
That being said, it is a lovely product in pretty packaging and it smells much better than most primers I have used. It does it's job as a primer but I really cannot justify the price.
