Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

My main reason for purchasing this product was because it says it minimises pores. I have quite obvious pores around my nose, so I was really hoping it would make them less noticeable. I've used this product a few times now and I'm yet to see any difference, which is disappointing.

However I still use it most days as a primer because it makes my face smooth, which is a nice base to work with. It has a sort of silicone finish to it. I've found it can be a bit oily around my nose, but nothing major. You only need a small amount of product to use on your face, as it spreads really easily.

I probably won't bother to repurchase this product, but I'll continue to use it until it's run out.

I was pretty excited to find a primer that minimised pores and was affordable for me!

I had high hopes for this but was disappointed. It did diminish my pores a little bit, but made my skin feel oily and clogged. I ended up stopping using it as I don't feel it was helping my skin at all and would just feel greasy.

I bought this last week, it kind of smells funny when you put it on, i guess it helps smooth your skin a little bit and maybe blurs tiny pores but doesnt diminish them hugely. It did help a tiny bit to blur the pores i have on my cheeks which arent huge, is a nice base to start with.

I recently purchased this product to replace my normal more expensive primer's because I couldn't wait for my usuals in the mail. I found it to feel amazingly soft and silky going onto my skin, but was not happy with the results. After applying all my foundation and setting powder I found that my face became shinier than usual and had a greasy feel to it all day. My eye makeup clumped up in the creases too. I won't be buying this product again.

I purchased this product on a buy one get one half price deal, I was excited to see a primer that claimed to reduce pores for such an inexpensive price.

My hopes were high for this product but as I started to use it as a part of my daily makeup routine, applying it after moisturizer and before foundation. I found that it took awhile to be dry enough to be able to apply foundation on top of it, it also didn't reduce my pores at all and made my foundation unable to stick to my skin causing it to slide over the primer.

Now to try and fix these issues I tried using a smaller amount and applying it a different way, this helped with the slipping foundation, but I was still disappointed with the lack of reduced pore size, I also noticed a very greasy unpleasant feeling on my skin.

Although this product didn't work for me how i would've liked it to, it did smooth out my skin and provide a very soft feeling.

I would not purchase again.

I had high hopes for this as Maybelline has been a go-to for my skin and primers and it promises such lovely results!

I first picked it up as it was on sale and could not wait to get home and try it out. The packaging was super cute (although a little small) and I'm not above admitting i may have purchased it due to the hype and prettiness of it. The texture was silky and silicon like and since other primers I have used have felt similar I was pretty amped to see it in action.

What a sore disappointment. It seemed to stay on the surface of my skin for a long time, and be too oily to apply make-up for about ten minutes. Even when it had "soaked in" my foundation seemed to skim over it and not stay very well, in fact doing the opposite of what a primer should do. I saw absolutely no difference in my pore size, and when applying it over blemishes, instead of creating a smooth surface it made them look more obvious and bumpy.

Possibly good for someone with dry skin who or someone who prefers powder make-up, but otherwise a definite avoid ladies.

Eh. That's the best way I can describe this product... It is NOT a primer, as I've seen others describe it as. It does nothing to help your make up last, if anything it almost melts it/makes it slide off. It did smooth out my skin, so I guess that's a plus? But had absolutely zero affect on my pores. This also makes my skin break out a lot easier. I think maybelline was trying to make a dupe for Benefit's "the POREfessional" (which is amazing btw) however this product is an overall fail. Not worth it.

I love the whole idea of this product! Primer! Smoother Pores! Wow! Not so. The first time applying it to may face I felt like I was doing something wrong, my skin looked the same, and the product didn't want to soak in. Second and third attempt, used a little less, but still didn't soak in properly. I tried to follow up with my normal makeup routine each time but found it was slipping everywhere like putting water on wax. Disappointing. To use up the last of the tube(I hate wasting products) I now mix a little with my tinted moisturizer(10.0.6FaceTheDay) for the days I don't want full makeup, AND, it works! The combination of the 2 products together actually make my skin look great! Not quite what it was designed for but at least I'm still getting my moneys worth.

My skin type is oily and acne prone and I found that this product was absolutely horrible for my oily skin. I have very large pores around my nose area but at the same time that is where the most oil is produced. This is definitely a no go during summer for me and I'll have to find another pore filler product to use. However I do find that this product does diminish the look of pores as my foundation and concealer applies much more smoothly when I use this. I would not recommend for people with oily skin unless it's during winter time when your skin can get a little dry

As soooo many people have been getting excited and saying this is their new favorite pore hiding primer, I decide ok let's try this... so wasted my money. Packaging is cute and i would only use this product if my others were suddenly all emptied in some awful accident though I'd probly still not us this product.. When I first put a pea size amount on the back of my hand it visually reminded me of the nyx clear primer, after rubbing it on my face it felt sort of smooth but spread around it just disappears and disappointed me. For this product to possibly work you would need to cake it on =/
