Review: Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer

I have got to say the Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer is my favourite primer thus far! I have been using the Benefit Porefessional for as long as I can remember, but this has taken its place. This primer has everything that you want in a primer. It blurs out pores, evens out skin texture and colouring along with keeping me matte within my T zone (something that is CRUCIAL for me).

I bought this primer at Sephora for $50 (Canadian dollars) for 1oz which in my opinion is very pricey. In comparison with the Benefit Porefessional at $37 for .75oz, maybe it is very comparable in price as you are getting more product. The product claims to last 8 hours on the skin, and to be humidity-resistant and control shine all day long therefore reducing touch-ups.

It comes in a nice sleek tube, that allows you to easily control the amount you want, so you are not wasting the product. The consistency is more of a mousse or a thicker cream, that actually feels like it is filling in your pores as you are smoothing it over your skin.

The colour of the primer matches my skin perfectly, which gives me flawless finish, as it just looks like my skin but better. I'm not sure how the colouring would look on darker shades of skin, and whether it would still seamlessly fill in the pores. Maybe they should consider making the formula in different shades.

Overall Score = 9.5/10
