Beauty and Bentley

A few years back make-up primers were almost unheard of and definitely not available on the high street, ahh how thing change these days most people see primers as a staple in their make-up routine. I've tried a selection of primers and although they sometimes feel nice on the skin they don't always do anything special but my favourite type of primer is pore filling/minimising. I have some fairly visible pores at either side of my nose and I wanted to find a budget-friendly primer to take care of this skin concern. I decided to try out the Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser which costs £7.99 and contains 22ml of product.

Review

This primer comes in super cute packaging, I love the colour! It's not very luxurious looking but for £7.99 what do you expect, it's a basic squeeze tube which allows you to control how much product you use. This is a clear gel formula that glides onto the skin and feels lightweight, it really does visibly reduce the look of pores and gives a nice base for foundation. This also works well applied to dry areas of the face as it stops foundation sticking to patches of dry skin. I only apply a small amount to the areas of my face that need it, this really isn't an all over primer. Foundation glides over the primer seamlessly and makes everything look more smooth and perfected. I have seen some reviews that say this doesn't work well for those with oily skin, I have combination skin and have had no issues. You can also use this on bare skin to blur imperfections, it is a clear gel so it won't cover any darkness or spots but it gives your skin a lovely smooth look. Overall I think this is a really good product that does what it claims to do and won't break the bank, I will definitely repurchase this product, a little goes a long way and one tube will last me a very long time!
