The Tuesday Review: Benefit's The Porefessional

Hey guys, I'm back with another review today and this time it's a high end product. This is my second ever high end product, the first being a MAC Mineralize Skin Finish, however I have since bought a couple more items. I didn't buy this product, it came as a sample in a magazine, however I did buy the magazine just so I could get the product as I had been wanting to try it for a long time, but the price had been putting me off.

The primer comes it a squeezy tube which is good for controlling how much product is dispensed. Overall I really like the packaging as the colours and design make it very attractive.

Having only tried one other primer (which was awful) prior to trying this, I don't have a lot to compare it to, however I am really impressed. This has really helped to keep my skin matte for longer and has increased the wear time of my foundation. It does also fill in and blur pores, meaning foundation applies better as it is being applied to a smoother surface. On a day to day basis, I only apply this to the sides of my nose, my forehead, and a little bit on my chin, but when I'm going for a full makeup look that I need to last all day, I will apply it to my entire face. I have been using this tube every day for the last two months and it is showing no signs of running out, so I am really pleased. 

Having had a really good experience with this primer, with no breakouts or side effects, I would consider purchasing the full size version of this product when mine runs out. However, I would like to try some cheaper alternatives first because, although I would deem this to be worth the money, if there's a drugstore dupe, I may as well buy that instead.

Have you tried The Porefessional? What do you think about it? Let me know in the comments.
