Summary
I use Benefit the POREfessional Face Primer just on my T-zone area because that's where there are lots of pores and covers them splendidly. It is great to use over my foundation although you can use it before you use foundation due to it being such a smooth and easy primer to apply that blends well into the skin and the foundation. I don't use it all over my face as i only need a small amount of the primer to cover the area with pores. i definitely recommend buying this product a bit expensive but it is well worth it.

Summary
Lovely product to push into Pores not for entire face. Lovely balm like consistency from tube. Little waste. Tiny amount needed. Smells great. I would say this is actually worth the cost. Wear with a second all.over primer. This is only.to push into the Pores.

- Great for pores as it says
Weakest points
- I don't like it over my whole face
Summary
I use this primer only on the sides of my nose and cheeks where my pores are larger as it fills them like a 'concrete' and leaves my skin looking flawless in those places with no pores showing through my foundation. However I do not like to put this primer all over my face as for me it feels too thick and doesn't glide on as well as other primers that I have used - although this may just be because I have dry skin. For pores this is brilliant, definitely POREfessional as the packaging states.

Fantastic primer, silky smooth and covers any flaws, banish the look of open pores
Weakest points
It could be considered a little expensive if you haven't tried a benefit product before
Summary
This is a wonderful primer, I have tried quite a few and this one really is great, it makes your skin feel so even and once your foundation is on, your skin looks even, no foundation sinking into your open pores or looking flaky due to dry skin.
