12 Best Makeup Primers

Wow!
First primer that I can totally tell the difference. Usually I can't tell the difference between bad or good primers but I actually love this. A lot of people compares this to the Benefit Porefessional which is a good product but not as budget friendly as this NYX one but can be kind of pricey for a drugstore version (around $12.) Even though I felt this primer did little to blur my huge pores, I ...read morelove how silky and smooth this primer is. It makes my foundation apply really easy and airbrushed. I used my foundation without this primer and I can tell the difference when I don't have this primer on. Love this!!! The only gripe is that it does dry out in the tube unlike the Benefit Porefessional.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

It works!
My skin is a grease monster in the summer and combination in the winter. Needless to say, I have issues with large pores in particular on my cheeks! So, I am about to get a little "gross" here! IMO, pores are like potholes in a road - they have to be "filled" before they can be "smoothed." There are a lot of products, including foundations, that can do this well but I was quite impressed with the ...read moreNYX Pore Filler (Ha! Filler! See??). It literally "blurs" imperfections and fills in the pores with a beigy-nude, greaseless, airy light textured product. For those of you that are scared of parabens, one warning; this is loaded with parabens. (Check out the research! Parabens are ok - I promise. :) I have been using this product for months and it does exactly what it claims to do; if you don't use a primer, this can easily be used as one or might may your other primer obsolete. The only reason I didn't give it a 10, and the reason I probably won't be repurchasing, is because I don't find the product necessary in my routine. Pores can be "filled" with concealer or stippling foundation, or even buffing foundation in circles to fill the pore and then smooth. So as well as it DOES work, I just can't see adding yet ANOTHER product to my endless list of HG and "must have's."This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Pore Filler
This pore filler has displaced more former favorite: the L'Oreal studio primer. I decided to try this since I decided to move towards cruelty free products and it's been a fantastic choice. In all honesty, it works just as well any other brand I've tried-- it really smooths out my large pores and it increases my makeup longevity--but where it really takes the cake is the texture. It is miles ahead...read more of any primer I've used before. It is so light and airy that it doesn't even feel like you've any primer on your face. I love the feel of it. Going back to other primers after this felt so... heavy. It also has a slight peachy tone and it seems like it does a smidge of color correcting.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful
