NYX Professional Makeup Pore Filler Review

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!

I bought this off beauty joint last year I think. I have quite large pores so the idea of a product to fill them in is really appealing.

This comes in a simple white tube, and is clearly marked so you won't mistake it for something else. It's a small tube, only 20mls, but I've used this heaps and I still have a lot left.

When you first squeeze this out, it's quite yuck looking. It's a peach colored, thick product that looks curdled. It really doesn't look like something you want on your face but it does smooth out Evenly! This has no discernable scent and you only need a tiny amount for your whole face. About half a pea worth.

I start off on my nose and cheeks and then smooth the rest out. This has a silicone feel, so if you don't like that kind of coating, then you won't like this. I find that this does work pretty good at smoothing my skin and helping to Keep my makeup on longer. My trick to make this work the best for me is to use this, then spritz my face with 3 sprays of hydrating mist and then follow that with my base. It gives a much dewier look and lasts even longer.

It says on the tube that you can wear this over makeup. I've never actually tried and I can't really see how you could rub it in without messing up your Makeup? !

Anyway, I think I would buy this again in the future. I have a few primers that I'm trying to work through but I do like how this works. I've heard this is a dupe for the benefit porefessional but I haven't personally tried it.

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.

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!

My skin type has lots of pores showing so I was lucky enough to win this in a set along with other nyx products . I’ve tried a few primers so far I’ve definitely experienced highs and lows.

Packaging comes in a white tube nothings special . Consistency is smoothly creamy no scent at all . I like to cleanse my skin before putting primer on feel that it gives my skin a good base . Under make up this sits well . As for my pores their still showing no difference was made to them .

I think price wise could be in the $10 to $15 dollar bracket rather than $25 . I really can’t see myself repurchasing this one at all .

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.

The NYX Professional Makeup Pore Filler is a skin colored silicon textured primer. While it comes out as a paste-like consistence, it separates as you apply it to the skin and also feels more powdery once applied.

Once you've covered the skin, it does feel silicon coated. But for how well covered the skin is, it doesn't blur pores and imperfections that well. And I also didn't find that it lasted.

Another thing to note, is that as it came out the tube, the product sort of spurted and spluttered, rather than coming out is a measured stream.

Overall, I'd probably spend a little more and get a product that has a higher performance.

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 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.
