Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

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.

Not a huge fan of this product, does not seem to hide pores very well and is very oily on skin. Do not recommend for oily skin types. However it does leave a smooth base to apply foundation or BB cream on top, but not worth it honestly because it doesn't seem to do anything and not a very good smoothing product on skin for people with bumps or acne.

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.

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 =/

I bought a tube of this a while ago off beauty joint. It wasn't too expensive and I really like trying new primers so I thought it would be good to give this one a go.

It comes in a cute looking mint green squeeze tube. If you have the baby lips balm, then you'll know how the writing is in that style. I like it although I'm sure it's marketed for a much younger audience then me! It's not a very big tube at all, only 20mls but you do only need a small amount so it will last a while.

This comes with the very detailed instructions of 'smooth onto areas with visible pores'. I like to use maybe a bit smaller than a pea sized amount. I have rather large pores on my cheeks and I also use it on my chin and forehead. It is a clear silicone type gel and the best way to use it is to pat it into your skin. Since it is for pore filling, you don't need to use it over your entire face, just pat where needed. It's also best if you wait a few minutes before applying your foundation.

I find this does give me a smooth result, not completely poreless but I can see a difference. I find that it doesn't really last all day and I do notice my foundation sinking into my pores in the afternoon.

If this lasted all day, I'd definitely buy it again but I've used better primers so although I'm glad I tried it, I wouldn't repurchase it.

This product was good at blurring pores and making them smaller. But that's about it. As for a primer. Definitely not.I felt like my make up just slid off. It couldn't set at all. Product is a little greasy also.
