Review: Benefit Porefessional Primer

For the longest time me and Benefit's Porfessional Primer did not see eye to eye. It would ball up and move my foundation around and there were no signs of it prolonging the wear of my make up. So for a long while I used cream based primers until one day I gave this a go again. And ever since this has been my go to, everyday primer.

If you've never tried Porefessional before it's a primer that contains silicone and glycerin to help adhere make up to the skin and prolong it as the day goes on. It's perfect for people with oily skin as it helps control the excess sebum skin creates.  It means it helps control shine and stops make up from wearing away from the skin. It also contains pore blurring technology which helps reduce the look of enlarged pores and means that your chosen base product won't fall into pore or highlight the size of them.

The silicone in the formula may not agree with everyone, it all depends on your skin type. As I've said people with oily skin will benefit from using this product but if you have dry or sensitive skin it may not agree with your skin. If you find this makes your foundation/base ball up then try mixing it with a cream primer so that instead of clinging to the silicone in Porefessional it'll stick to the skin and help adhere the foundation to the skin.

A full size tube of this retails at £24 but you can pick up a smaller travel sized bottle for £10 at most Benefit stands. It's pricey and seems like a lot for a primer but when you see the way it works with your make up, it'll be worth it. If like me then you don't want to spend £24 to begin with then definitiely pick up the smaller size, it'll last a while even if used everyday.
