In Detail Benefit the POREfessional Makeup Primer Review, Demo and My Experience

As far as I remember POREfessional Pro balm was the first ever product that I used from Benefit Cosmetics. Benefit products are easily available at Sephora stores in India. I bought mine from Sephora, Select City Walk Mall. This primer comes in a tube with very attractive graphics on it. Many people ask me about it when they see it in my kit. The tube is not only attractive but also travel friendly.

It has become one of my favourite primers in such a short span of time that in fact I can’t imagine doing makeup without it. You can also use it as an eye primer. I like to apply it using my fingers. Just by taking a pea size amount you can apply it all over the face. Don’t forget to apply it especially on your t-zone. Because it has a silky texture, it makes my foundation blend easily. It gives a smooth skin as well as minimises the appearance of open pores and fine lines. Therefore, the final look that it gives can’t be achieved by using only foundation and compact.

I have a really oily t- zone which used to always shine and look oily doesn’t matter which ever foundation I used or how many times I did touch ups with compact. But after using the POREfessional pro balm, the silica present in it keeps my makeup intact for 4-5 hours since I have very oily skin. Hence, for someone with normal skin it will keep the makeup in place for 6-7 hours.

I highly recommend this primer for people having normal to oily to sensitive skin but for people with dry skin this product is not meant for you. I have used this product on people who are prone to breakouts but to my surprise there were no breakouts after using this primer. Guys there is a myth that primer is only used beneath foundation/ compact, which is not true. You can use it every day even if you don’t wish to apply foundation or a BB cream to reduce the appearance of open pores and fine lines.

Overall, the product is worth buying and value for money. Also, would last you long if applied in right quantity.
