Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer Review

Quick post today about the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser primer. This primer was released in Asia market last year and finally made its way to USA in early January. So does it eraser your pores? Lets take a look!

Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a clear gel silicone base primer. Its non greasy, and has a lot of slip to it, so you must make sure that you let it dry before applying your makeup to avoid your makeup from sliding around. Now this primer is not a pore filling primer, it simply blurs the appearance of them. This is a downer for me because I have large pores on the side of my nose and the blurred effect doesn't do enough for me.
At 1st it gave the appearance that my pores where blurred fairly well, but within the hour my pores came to the surface and it looked as though I had never applied it. As far as a primer, it did decent. It didn't prolong my makeup, but it didn't disappear after a few hours either. The price is right at $6.99 and is a good pore eraser primer if you don't have large pores. But for someone with larger pores the blurring effect just won't do it.

NARS Pro Prime Instant Line and Pore Perfector Review

I feel like this is going to be the year of "pore perfecting" primers. Today I have the new NARS Pro Prime Instant Line and Pore Perfector. Now I'm all for all "pore" primers because I have large pores on the cheeks and smaller ones on my nose and forehead.  So does this live to claim of perfecting pores? Lets take a look!


This primer comes in a stick applicator with twist up movement. The is a non-greasy, colorless balm. When applied it doesn't move, it immediately absorbs into the skin instantly. I feel like this product is best for applying only to the your pores and fine lines. Since this product doesn't offer a lot of a product rubbing all over your face isn't worth it. Since this absorbs immediately without needing to blend or rub into the skin, placing your makeup immediately afterward isn't a problem, your makeup won't slip and slide.


Now lets get to my issue with this product is that for $28 you get 1.7g. The picture above is all the product that you get -_-. The product overall does do a decent job at filling in my pores, but nothing ground breaking. I personally feel like there's other pore/fine line primers that do a better job with a greater value. I love NARS but this simply just a okay product with ok results.
You can find this at Sephora, and NARS counters.

XOXO,
