Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

Well Baby skin is in my thoughts is good if your just goin to use it on its own! It glides on easily, minimises your pores! But as soon as you apply your foundation and concealer it all goes wrong. Because the baby skin product is like silicone, your other products just slide around your face when you try to apply, also find your other products dont really set! So cant touch your face as it will slide of... love the cute packaging but thats about it...

I purchased this product around a month ago. It caught my eye due to the cute tube and the idea of baby skin on my face ate me up, and I had to purchase. The first few times I used the product it was on make up free days. For this use, I have found it satisfactory. It does what it says in concealer pores by coating a silicone-like layer of product over your face. The application process to me was not very appealing, as it felt like I was smearing my face with a heavy type of gel. It did not feel light on my skin at all. However, it definitely covered my pores.

The big problems with this product started when I tried to use it under my every day make up as a pore eraser. It states on the product that it can be used under makeup but I fail to see how. When applying foundation and/or concealer after using this product, I'm literally just moving my foundation around my face and the makeup slides everywhere! I've tried to apply my foundation over the top of this product with multiple different brushes, a beauty blender and my fingers and had no success in getting an even foundation finish. Instead it has been blotchy, patchy and outright jelly-ish. So I've given up on this product as part of my average makeup routine. Would love to know how to apply it so everything stays where it should.

I bought a couple of these when they were on special and have tried them a number of times now. It's amazing how well they help hide my (very large) pores.

I tend to get quite oily skin by early afternoon which is why I wear primers but found that Baby Skin didn't help with this at all, if anything it just made the problem worse. Even worse still was when I tried wearing it under makeup! I might still use it on top of my other primer (I do like how Baby Skin blurs my pores) but that seems a bit redundant.

So I bought this online because I'm really not too keen on spending $25 on a primer at Farmers. This stuff is a god-send. I have pretty large pores around my nose and this fills them in so well! It comes out clear and it feels super siliconey and amazing. I feel like as well as making my pores appear smaller, it also makes my foundation slide on really easily. I also don't think you need to use very much for it to work well. I have oily/sensitive skin and I didn't find that this broke me out at all. This is one of my favourite primers ever! and I feel like I can still use it underneath other primers, like the loreal lumi magique, as they both do different things

I love this primer! For a drugstore primer it works amazing on the skin. It is a siliconey type consistency but apply's really easily to the skin. It is soft and makes your skin feel velvety. I don't have any major issues with pores on my face but I did find it was the perfect base for foundation as it smoothed out my skin and made it a lot easier to buff in my foundation. This product is quite pricey in NZ supermarkets so I definitely recommend ordering it online.

Being a fan of maybelline products - I decided to try this product out of curiosity. Usually with primers I look for ones that make my make up last longer, apply better and make my face base flawless and unfortunately this did not meet my criteria.

Upon application of this primer, I found that it didn't fill in my pores (it just awkwardly sat on top) and did not make application easier, my skin was not smoother after application at all.

In terms of longevity - this product doesn't claim to prolong make up - but managed to do the opposite for me. Halfway through the morning I found that my make up was slipping and sliding off my face - my T-zone was oily and the makeup looked like it separated on my face (note that I use powder foundation so it shouldn't matter whether my primer is silicone or water based). Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to oily faced people.

I am fairly new to primers, I have used a couple of the Elf ones, and was going to spend the $ of benefits professional when I discovered that this product is being toted as the dupe for benefit. So I went out and bought it.

As far as making my pores disappear, Im not completely sold, there is definitely a slight difference, but its no miracle worker there. HOWEVER, when it comes to keeping my makeup in place all day/night long, it definitely does the trick.

If I was to ignore the claims about making my pores disappear, then it would be a holy grail product for me, although to be honest, it is definitely the best primer I have had so far, and I used it on some friends when I did their makeup the other day, and it made them look and feel great as well.

The consistency is like a gel, but different. Easy to spread out, especially over those problem areas. There is no real smell, and the packaging is very very similar to the porefessional.

I guess I wish there was more product in the wee tube, so it lasted longer, but you generally don't need much anyway.

all in all, I do love this product and I will be purchasing again

I bought this primer because i have quite obvious pores, it felt nice once applied but found it didnt do a very good job hiding them, it works well on fine lines and wouldn't recommend for a pore eraser. But works great for covering breakouts.

I bought this for a trial use, as i have enlarged pores(i believe they will get larger as we age)It had a strange feeling on the skin, but is was not unpleasant, and i could see a improvement. Value for money is good.

I have been experimenting with primers recently. My skin is quite strange at the moment, usually it's standard oily, but I have been feeling quite dried out recently with an oily T zone.

I bought this primer online before it came out here and was excited to try it. I've been a Maybelline girl since I started using make up. But this product let me down.

The packaging is ok, it's small for the price compared to say ELF that I find works well. It comes out easily and rubs onto the skin well. But that's where the plusses stop for me.

It felt like a slimey layer sitting on top of my skin, it didn't settle like other primers do. It didn't fill my pores, it just gooped over them. I wiped some away and attempted to put my make up on over top. It did go on okay, but very quickly my skin just looked like an oil slick and my make up started to slide. I ended up having to take my make up off and start again. I tried a couple of different times, with lighter applications, but it was always the same.

This might work better for someone without oily skin, but since my experience I have read a few people say that it's not for those with oily skin.
