Benefit Porefessional Primer Review

For months now, I have been trying out countless new makeup products. I feel like for the best part of a year there has been beauty release after beauty release. Because of that, I feel like I have forgotten some of my good old favourites. Which is why today I am going to throw things back and talk about an item I have loved for years. This is an item that I have kept in my collection for almost 10 years.

However, for some unknown reason I have never reviewed it here on my blog. Which is what I am now going to put right. This is a review on the amazing Benefit Porefessional Primer.

 

 

Why I wanted this primer.

The main reason why I wanted this primer all of those years ago is because my skin needed some help. I was spending a little more money on some newer foundations and I was seeing my pores more than ever before. So, I wanted to invest in a primer to help balance my skin, hide my pores and allow my new foundations to shine.

 

How it works for my skin.

So, as I mentioned above, I wanted this primer to help with my large pores. What I do, is take a small amount of this once I have finished with my moisturiser and SPF. Then I will take just a very small, pea-sized amount of this primer. I will then just apply the Benefit Porefessional Primer strictly in the areas where I need it. For me, that is around the nose and in my t-zone. My skin is generally too dry for me to apply this all over, so I just pop it where I need it and it works fantastically.

 

How it lasts with makeup.

If a primer helps to perfect the skin that is one thing, but I need it to work with my makeup. So, over the years I think I can confidently say that at some point I have paired this primer with all of my various foundations. No matter what I have thrown at this primer, it just seems to work perfectly. I never get any piling on the skin and my base always looks smooth, seamless and completely flawless. Which is a lot more than can be said for some of the other and newer primers that I have tested recently.

 

How long have I been using it.

As I have mentioned in this post, this is an item that I have been using for a very long time. It must be coming up to a good decade that I have been using this Benefit Porefessional Primer and that alone just shows how much I love this. Don’t get me wrong, there have been times when I have stopped using it and tried other things. The things is, I always come back to using this amazing primer and I wonder why I ever stopped using it.

 

Would I recommend it?

The last thing that I always mention in a review is whether I would recommend it or not. That ultimately comes down to what you want to achieve with your skin. I want pore filling and smoothing, this primer is ideal for that. Which is why I loved this item when I used to do bridal makeup on people many years ago. When you compare this to all of the other similar primers on the market, for example the Elf Poreless Putty Primer, it does stand up very well. It is a product that I adore.

 

As always, I hope you guys enjoyed this review on the Benefit Porefessional Primer. It has been a ride or die beauty favourite of mine for so many years. To be honest, it is one of the first ‘high-end’ beauty items that I ever bought. By that I mean, a product that wasn’t from the likes of Maybelline or L’Oréal. This Benefit Porefessional Primer is an item that I have loved for years, and I know I am going to keep one in my makeup draw. I will pop a link to this item below if you would like to check it out for yourself. Leave me a comment and let me know if you have tried this before. Or would you like to get your hands on it for yourself?
