Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

I did not enjoy using this product at all. Everyone was raving about it online on how good it was but for me, I find this primer really oily and it makes my foundation to start becoming patchy. Definitely not buying this again.

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.

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 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 as a friend had recently brought and enjoyed the product.

The packaging is cute, but in my opinion, quite 'young'. For most that's not an issue and it wasn't necessarily for me as it's not something I would have on display, however, I'm generally more attracted to more sophisticated or interesting/artistic packaging but that's entirely personal preference. The packaging is also quite small, especially in comparison to most primers (20ml).

It applied nicely to the skin and left it feeling very smooth (therefore baby skin like I suppose!) and pores somewhat minimised, however, for me.. the positives ended there. I found the product sat on the surface of my skin and didn't sink it. When I applied my foundation, which is a matte foundation and usually dries quickly on my skin without a primer, the consistency completely changed because it blended into the primer and the foundation didnt apply as nicely as it usually would, it also felt like it was just slipping off my face and further products I tried to apply afterwards slipped and smudged so easily. My base didn't really set properly until I applied powder (which is part of my usual routine), however, it changed the appearance because the powder didn't set as nicely and overall I just felt like my base looked cakey and wasn't going to last.

I do however, acknowledge that this product doesn't promise any mattifying properties and really only mentions it will blur pores... I do have oily skin so I think I struggled more with this product whereas someone with drier skin may find this works a bit better for them? Or else I think this would best be for a younger audience of more younger/new makeup users.

This products feels lovely and silky smooth on the skin, it's easy to use and you just apply it with your fingers. This didn't erase my pores and my foundation seemed to slip around and not sit right on my skin (combination/Oily) I did find a way to get help my foundation stay on better but still this product isn't for me.

I found this primer never set down on my skin, so it felt oily/greasy. Meaning the make up slid around more than without it, so would not recommend unless you need to add moisture to your skin.

This primer does have a lovely consistency and texture. It's smooth and light, does not feel heavy on the skin and isn't oily. It creates a smooth canvas on which to apply your foundation. My only gripe is that as time passes, it causes my makeup to separate. I find better hold on my foundation without using this primer.

i have oily tzone and big pores ,this primer is a silicone based , it makes the pores look smaller a little bit , but the thing is it makes my face very oily and slippery which is not good to put any makeup on top as well ,wont buy it again ! if you dont have oily skin you may can have a try !

For the price of this product it’s definitely worth trying compared to some brands that are a lot more expensive. However for myself I just didn’t really like this product and I never reach for it anymore. I’m very self conscious of my large pores and just wanted them to be gone! It kind of works but my foundation didn’t agree with it it almost wouldn’t stick to the areas that I put the primer or it would roll around on top of my skin. I found it to be a little oily which I also didn’t like. I didn’t like applying it to my nose and my foundation went funny on top of it. Sometimes I would use it by itself on a no makeup day and I didn’t mind the look of it, but I wouldn’t repurchase. I wanted to love this but unfortunately it’s just not for me!
