Benefit's POREfessional 22ml // £24.50

Benefit's POREfessional has been the top selling primer in the UK for the last 3 years and its not difficult to see why.

Benefit claim that this primer "quickly minimises the appearance of pores and fine lines for smoother-than-smooth skin" and it certainly achieves this. I've been using this primer on and off for about 2 years now and I always seem to gravitate back to it as it's the only thing that can successfully cover the pores on my t-zone.

The POREfessional primer is an oil free, translucent formula making it suitable for all skin tones and extremely lightweight when applied to your face. To apply this primer all you need to do it take a small amount onto your fingers and gently smooth it onto your face (I focus most of the product on my t-zone and spread the excess outwards).

After application, my pores are instantly minimised creating a smooth canvas for make-up application and even once my foundation is applied, my pores are still invisible meaning the primer hasn't budged.

Even after a long day, my make-up is still pretty much intact but if not, what's great about this primer is it can be applied over your make-up to recover any imperfections you wish to disguise.

A final thing I love about this primer is the fact that on "no make-up days", if I need to pop out, I can apply this and feel comfortable enough to leave the house.
