Let's just say I live and breathe by primer. I've tried it all. When I snagged this on sale I was soooooo impressed. I have decent sized pores so it fixes what I need it too holds makeup where it should be throughout the day and doesn't leave a greasy oil coat underneath my makeup. Wish it had a brightening option but with all my serums and highlighters I'm good w/o it. Does leave skin dry so make sure your skincare regime includes a good moisturizer. I'm on my 3rd purchase of this used their Studio photogenic primer base and didn't finish before buying this to use in its place. I always use as a primer BTW, never tried it over makeup I like finishing powders so I've been hesitant

Ive used this primer in the past and repurchased it at the end of last year to try it again. I have used many primers and a few pore filling ones but this one takes the cake. I have normal to combination skin, I have a few small pores on the tops of my cheeks that have become more visible over the years. The first time I used this I didn't really know what to do until I started using it again.
It comes in a white tube with a slanted point, the first time using this I thought it looks like pimple puss which grossed me out so much! I find it easier to squeeze small amounts on my finger tip and applying it with small circular motions. I find this works fantastically with under my eyes too, it prevents my concealer and foundation from creasing!
I apply this to my skin and let it sit for a few minutes before applying my foundation, it masks my pores and is a great primer for my makeup.
This primer does what what it says and exceeds my expectations when it comes to filling my pores and prolonging my foundation.
Tips: Apply this to under your eyes to stop your foundation and concealer from creasing.
I've got big pores and I hate them. I bought this at big bucket deals for $20 out of curiosity and it's become one of my favourite products. This comes in a handy tube and the product is kind of pinky peachy coloured and glides on very nicely. It leaves my skin feeling silky and looking very smooth, no signs of my giant pores either. I use this both as a primer and I have worn it alone as well. When I wear it alone it stops my face from getting shiny and oily. I love this product very much, it's economical and for me, it's quite luxurious to use too.
Tips: A little goes a long way.
This has to be the weirdest texture for a primer that I have ever used (laughing crying emoji here), but not in a terrible way. It is chunky, it comes out of the tube like crumbly feta! BUT!! It works like a dream!!! This primer worked great by itself and over my colour correcting primer too so bonus points there! It is super thick but blends out well and leaves that super smooth silicone feel on your face, not a tacky finish (which when trying to cover up pores is neessary) I tried a couple of foundations over top and both held well (from memory it was MAC Studio Fix Liquid Foundation, and Rimmell 25 Hour Liquid Foundation). I did set them with a finishing powder as usual and my skin still looked flawless hours later. I don't like to fill in my pores on the daily, but this is definitely going to get some use for meetings, events and whenever I want to look extra flawless!
Tips: Blend out a single layer, then go back in with a little extra to give the problem areas a bit more coverage.
I decided to pick this up from Farmers ($24.95) because it offers a similar amount of product as Benefit’s Porefessional for half the price. It comes in a wide white squeeze tube which personally I don’t think is the most functional for such a light product.
I feel that because there is so much space/air inside the tube, the product comes out in small dots of product that you’re almost led to believe it’s expired. It’s not until you smear the light peach product over your skin that you find that it has a lovely silicone feeling.
It blends right into the skin (i.e. no cast left behind), feels weightless and doesn’t have a scent. It does a great job of minimising the appearance of my pores both in well-lit areas and in natural light. What I love most is that my makeup sits well on top of it and almost appears flawless.
I’ve tested this product with one side NYX and the other Benefit and they performed just the same. I’m happy to repurchase this pore filler but I do hope they change the packaging to something that keeps the product together inside.
I bought this pore filler from Farmers because I wanted to try a more reasonable value product. I was extremely happy with the results! The texture is quite thick compared to some fillers which I ractually like but feels really weightless on your skin. A small amount goes really far and it leaves your skin feeling soft smooth and perfect and ready to apply makeup. recommend this product and will be using again! The only downfall is that because it is so thick quite a bit is left in the packaging when you are coming to the end of it and cant be squeezed out (I just cut it open and had enough left for a few more days!)
Tips: Leave for a few minutes before applying foundation.
I purchased this as I was curious about pore filling primers and didn't want to splurge on the Benefit one.
This is definitely good for minimising pores - it makes your skin feel silky smooth after application and your foundation just glides on over the top of it. I did find though that my foundation did apply on my nose quite patchy, but that may have to do with my application of the product. I find it works best when you use more of a patting motion to apply it as opposed to the usual circular rubbing motions you would use when applying moisturiser.
The only con is that once you've almost finished, it does get a bit hard to squeeze the last of the product from the tube, but that's not a biggie.
I decided to try this as I suffer from large pores on my nose from time to time and I had read positive reviews.
It suprised me how thick this primer is and that it is a pinky/peach colour but it does blend out nicely to give a invisible matte finish. It does apply thick so you may need a lot of product to cover your whole face if you have dry skin like myself. I mainly use this on my nose as that is the problem area.
The packaging could be better. There is so much air at the top of the tube that when you squeeze the tube the primer shoots out in clumps.
It does blur pores and feels smooth and weightless on but I find it a bit fiddly to use and would rather use my regular hourglass primer to cover my whole face. I only use this now if my pores are particulary large.
I do recommend this product but for targeting specific areas like your nose or chin rather then using it as a full face primer as the price tag of $24.95 makes it expensive for this purpose.
This silicone, putty formula is very smooth in consistency and helps blur larger pores.
It has a light skin coloured tint and glides on to the skin well. Personally I apply this on my nose and chin only when my pores are looking a little larger, it wouldn't be something I'd reccomend to apply all over the face.
Sits well under both matte and dewy makeup products.
Tips: I like to apply this primer with my fingers so the warmth of your skin helps soften the formula for a nice application.
I grabbed a tube of NYX Pore Filler when I was in the States and wanted to give it a try, being that it is considered a 'drug store' brand... and I am so impressed with it. It is comparable to the more expensive brands if not better!!
It comes out of the tube slightly clumpy which can be a bit daunting when you first see it, but it smoothes out onto your skin so nicely, and I love how it feels on my skin.
Hands down the best primer at a great price!
