The POREfessional Face Primer

r/Makeupr/MakeupRehabr/SkincareAddictionr/drugstoreMUAr/AsianBeautyAdvice
TL;DR — Reddit consensus
The pore-blurring primer Reddit's makeup subs treat as the category default — silicone smoothness that photographs well.
Amazon vs Reddit
Amazon loves it. Reddit isn't sold.
On Amazon: ★4.7 from 6,151 reviews — that's roughly 92% positive. On Reddit: 60% of 32 redditors recommend it. The gap of 32 points is unusual and worth reading the cons before you buy.

at does it, but it’s something to consider. the coola is my long time favourite! i’m probably on my 10th tube over the years. it’s got an unusual texture, like benefit porefessional primer, and requires a good shaking. but it’s nice on my skin, no reaction, slightly mattifiying, and has consistently worked well for me.

tion that was not right so i went and bought the putty applicator but it didn’t help which sucks because i’d love a good affordable option. i currently use the benefit porefessional. i asked my husband for a restock of it for xmas and he bought me the jumbo size so i should be good for a few years if it doesn’t dry out
