Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Face Makeup Primer Review

I have recently discovered the world of Primers, I really had no idea what to look for when buying one. I had come accross Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser, and thought Id give that a go. I have large pores that are so obvious. I hate that my foundation just sits in the pores instead of making them less obvious. My first try of this pore eraser i was amazed. Although not completely poreless, there definately was a huge differance. My face looked almost smooth. It looked fantastic. I found I had to use a bit to cover my whole face. And fear by the size of the tube, i would be going through it quite fast. It had a strange feeling when applying, its truely hard to explain. Its sore of gel- ish slimey. But not unpleasant. It did however make my foundation look amazing. I dont know why I never even thought of buying something like this earlier!

I do love this and would continue using this. however being new to the primer world, i want to try other primers before being set on this one.

I have been experimenting with primers recently. My skin is quite strange at the moment, usually it's standard oily, but I have been feeling quite dried out recently with an oily T zone.

I bought this primer online before it came out here and was excited to try it. I've been a Maybelline girl since I started using make up. But this product let me down.

The packaging is ok, it's small for the price compared to say ELF that I find works well. It comes out easily and rubs onto the skin well. But that's where the plusses stop for me.

It felt like a slimey layer sitting on top of my skin, it didn't settle like other primers do. It didn't fill my pores, it just gooped over them. I wiped some away and attempted to put my make up on over top. It did go on okay, but very quickly my skin just looked like an oil slick and my make up started to slide. I ended up having to take my make up off and start again. I tried a couple of different times, with lighter applications, but it was always the same.

This might work better for someone without oily skin, but since my experience I have read a few people say that it's not for those with oily skin.

I bought this for a trial use, as i have enlarged pores(i believe they will get larger as we age)It had a strange feeling on the skin, but is was not unpleasant, and i could see a improvement. Value for money is good.

I bought this primer because i have quite obvious pores, it felt nice once applied but found it didnt do a very good job hiding them, it works well on fine lines and wouldn't recommend for a pore eraser. But works great for covering breakouts.

I am fairly new to primers, I have used a couple of the Elf ones, and was going to spend the $ of benefits professional when I discovered that this product is being toted as the dupe for benefit. So I went out and bought it.

As far as making my pores disappear, Im not completely sold, there is definitely a slight difference, but its no miracle worker there. HOWEVER, when it comes to keeping my makeup in place all day/night long, it definitely does the trick.

If I was to ignore the claims about making my pores disappear, then it would be a holy grail product for me, although to be honest, it is definitely the best primer I have had so far, and I used it on some friends when I did their makeup the other day, and it made them look and feel great as well.

The consistency is like a gel, but different. Easy to spread out, especially over those problem areas. There is no real smell, and the packaging is very very similar to the porefessional.

I guess I wish there was more product in the wee tube, so it lasted longer, but you generally don't need much anyway.

all in all, I do love this product and I will be purchasing again

Being a fan of maybelline products - I decided to try this product out of curiosity. Usually with primers I look for ones that make my make up last longer, apply better and make my face base flawless and unfortunately this did not meet my criteria.

Upon application of this primer, I found that it didn't fill in my pores (it just awkwardly sat on top) and did not make application easier, my skin was not smoother after application at all.

In terms of longevity - this product doesn't claim to prolong make up - but managed to do the opposite for me. Halfway through the morning I found that my make up was slipping and sliding off my face - my T-zone was oily and the makeup looked like it separated on my face (note that I use powder foundation so it shouldn't matter whether my primer is silicone or water based). Overall, I wouldn't recommend this to oily faced people.

I've been using this primer for weeks now and I absolutely love it. It's almost like a blur cream that blurs out pores and dry skin leaving a flawless canvas for your makeup application.

I do find that using my strobe cream afterwards gives me the best results so that is my preferred method. Although it is still fine if I'm in too much of a hurry and have to just slip slop and slap my makeup on.

It comes in the cutest 20ml tube, the packaging is very eye catching, so if you're a sucker for cute packaging then be prepared to add this bad boy to your collection lol.

It's a silocone based primer (which I'm currently obsessed with at the momet) I find they work best with my skin and always give the best results so this primer is perfect for me. 

It does minimize the appearance of my pores, but for it to be really effective I do need to dab it on where my larger pores are which is the cheek area. I just feel that it gives the best results as a pore filler. My pores are very large and quite noticeable so I do like to try and blur them out completely.

I really like this primer and I have picked it up from the warehouse on special for around $13 so it is really affordable. Once my three (yes I have three lol) run out, I will definitely repurchase.

I love this primer! For a drugstore primer it works amazing on the skin. It is a siliconey type consistency but apply's really easily to the skin. It is soft and makes your skin feel velvety. I don't have any major issues with pores on my face but I did find it was the perfect base for foundation as it smoothed out my skin and made it a lot easier to buff in my foundation. This product is quite pricey in NZ supermarkets so I definitely recommend ordering it online.

I saw this Baby Skin formula spreading like wild fire all over the social media channels but at the time it was an exclusive item for USA so that moment when I spotted in at my local chemist whilst waiting for prescription to be filled was probably a little too excited for a chemist full of people to see, and it was the last one too so I was double excited. It is now more readably accessible in NZ now and I have spotted it at Farmers.

Design wise this cute little bottle comes in my favourite colour of the moment shade of blue/green (tiffany blue??) in quite a generous sized tube for a primer I think especially as it is only around $20 I feel this is a very affordable primer that having used for over 3 weeks now and not anywhere near the halfway point will last you a long while to use up.

The silicon feeling gel that is transparent absorbs quickly into your skin and a little goes a long way with a small dollop managing to cover my entire face, which is awesome as I have quite a fat round face for it to absorb into. Leaving my skin feeling soft and velvet to the touch and looking like a matte veil had been applied to it. It gives the perfect base for makeup which protected my oily t zone areas from shiny through my foundation all day.

I have also worn this alone with just a moisturiser underneath for those days where you want to look healthy and put together but can't be bothered with the hassle of a full on makeup look. I hope I never find myself hunting this primer down and I am rather tempted to go buy a back up while I know it is in stock locally as it is out of all the primers I currently have the best for what I want it to do.

So I bought this online because I'm really not too keen on spending $25 on a primer at Farmers. This stuff is a god-send. I have pretty large pores around my nose and this fills them in so well! It comes out clear and it feels super siliconey and amazing. I feel like as well as making my pores appear smaller, it also makes my foundation slide on really easily. I also don't think you need to use very much for it to work well. I have oily/sensitive skin and I didn't find that this broke me out at all. This is one of my favourite primers ever! and I feel like I can still use it underneath other primers, like the loreal lumi magique, as they both do different things
