The Pros love it! The smoothing base reduces pores and blurs fine lines and imperfections for a flawless complexion. To be adopted urgently!



The new PORE MINIMIZER STEP 1 Smoothing Primer is THE primer to refine your skin texture for a smooth complexion with erased irregularities. It instantly reduces enlarged pores and reduces fine lines for a 24hr correction(1).



The result? A refined skin texture with a silky finish for a smooth skin all day long!



The power its new formula:

Polymers along with spherical and silica powders contribute to the blurring and smoothing effect and help to achieve a silky matte finish.

The film-forming ingredients provide a transfer-proof and water-resistant hold.

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.
