Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

I remember the hype of this. I rushed to try it,and it turned out to be very underwhelming. It's not bad it just does not live up to other products like it.

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 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.

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.

I tried this after hearing a few good reviews from friends and YouTube. I hated the way it made my skin look :( I tried it with different foundations but always ended up with same result, it just wasn’t for my skin.

Picked this up on sale (like I always do when I want to try something!) after reading many reviews and articles praising it. I’ve got combo skin and I just think it’s too greasy for my type. Don’t really think it does anything for pores it’s just a standard primer really. Feels too think and oily when applying for my taste and makeup doesn’t really stay put.

I had high hopes for this product as I didn’t want to shell out for benefits version. Unfortunately though this product felt super siliconey, I didn’t see any pore blurring or filling. It might work for people with a different skin tone and type however. I’m a bit combo - dry patches but oily by lunch, struggle with a few spots and black heads and pores that I feel grow in diameter by the day! A younger person with fresher skin might have better luck with this product. I won’t be buying again and have decluttered this from my collection.

Because of the many rave reviews floating around online, I was really looking forward to trying this. Although my pores are generally not an issue I do have slightly enlarged pores between my brows and on my forehead.

The packaging for this gets 10/10. As well as being immediately eye catching in store, it is a pretty looking tube that looks adorable on your vanity. More importantly the tube is super easy to use and has a small nozzle at the end so you don't accidentally squirt too much product out.

The primer itself is a clear gel product that blends into the skin easily. It doesn't leave any kind of colour and has no noticeable scent. In terms of filling in your pores and making your skin appear like baby skin... It doesn't do that at all. At least not for me.

In fact, I didn't feel that this really did anything to my skin except leave it feeling like it had a thin layer of silicone on it. I have used other pore filling primers that are silicone based and don't mind the feeling of silicone on my skin - if the primer does what it claims to do. This however fell extremely flat for me. In fact I definitely prefer ELF's pore filling primer to this and think that is a much better purchase than this. It could just be my skin but this really didn't do anything to make my skin appear softer or smoother and it didn't fill my pores in.

I wouldn't repurchase this and don't even want to finish the tube - it will be gifted to a friend who wants to try it.
