Rated 4 out of 5 by from Okay Decent primer, don’t think it minimises pores that much but does the job.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not that great, unfortunately! Was expecting great things from other review, however, did not live up to them!

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Try NYX Pore Filler instead I feel like a good pore primer needs to have some substance and thickness to it, this one is just too thin. Don’t get me wrong, it feels nice and smooth but it doesn’t do what it’s intended for. Pore-y girls, do yourself a favour and try NYX Pore Filler instead.
