One of several different 'trial size' primers I used, for a chance to compare them all and see which worked best for me. I used Smashbox on a Friday evening, just before applying makeup and heading...

This should work for me but it doesn't. It does mattify and blur the oily skin on my nose. But at the same time it "fills" my pores, those spots become accentuated looking like pale dots, along...

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews of this product - I guess YMMV. In my experience, I use this product *by itself* as I don't wear foundation, but alone for me (or paired with powder)...

Never again! This primer causes my foundation to cake up in my pores, creating the dreaded "orange peel" appearance, which only enhances the appearance of my pores. Then I have to spend quite a bit...

It really helps the makeup cover the pores but it doesn't make them smaller. I think it lasts for hours and with my makeup(la roche posay for oil skin) my skin is smooth and looks nice and matte.

Did nothing to minimize my pores. Made me more oily in my t-zone than it already is. A waste of money
