I bought this primer in winter which means more than 6 months ago. Now, I’m finally ready to review it. Actually, my skin condition pushed me for this purchase. You see, I came through chickenpox which left me several scars to remember. Moreover, my crater pores bulge, especially in summer.
So, lately my skincare and skin coverage have become essential points for me.
So, this POREfessional primer is said to be camouflaging the pores, erasing them as much as possible.
The primer comes with a traditional branded tube. I have a full-size of it, which offers 22ml. The spending is huge because it isn’t so easy to spread.
Right here, I want to tell you not to apply too much, otherwise it’ll crease and clump and you’ll have to wipe those clumps off before putting on your makeup.
The product is of a pleasant pearl-pink color. Upon closer view, you’ll see the smallest shimmering bits which are to help the skin glow, as though from within. I wish it did so but it doesn’t.
Even in this picture, you can see that the glow is barely visible. If you apply some powder or foundation over it, you’ll never see that glow anymore. However, your skin texture will be smoother.
So, have a look at some part of my poor skin.
I want to ask you not to judge my appearance strictly.

I know my problems and I’m trying to minimize them.
a little bit less terrible after application

As you can see, my skin has become more matte after the primer application. I mean, those scars are still there but they don’t pop so obviously and in fact, my skin doesn’t look so terrible with it.

And if I also set it with a powder, I can feel free to go ahead! Besides, no one looks at me this close in life. Of course, if I apply some foundation before powder, the result would look much better then. But now, I hardly ever do it because when I’m sweltering, I don’t want to wear much of makeup over my non-perfected skin.
My makeup stays put with the primer as well as without it. No negative reaction. I can recommend this product but I have to take off a star for one failed promise out of those claimed two.
