Pro-Prime™ Pore Refining Primer - Oil-Free review is based on sample.

i did look up the price as i do like this product...but i dont like it enough to shell out over $30 for a tiny tube.

i used this both under make up and just as a pore refiner. i first tested this without makeup. normally, by midday, my t-zone will shine. but, with an application of this over a span of a week, i was quite happy with the results. my t-zone would be matte for an entire day!!

nothing spectacular about it as a makeup primer.

Over the last year I have been testing and experimenting with a few different makeup primers (because I am a girl who hates retouching her make up throughout the day!). Anyways, I originally started off with the smashbox photo finish primer, and I initially loved it ( I was naive). But as my skin became dryer during the winter months I started on the quest of finding another primer that had NO silicone in it. That is when I found the nars primer. I find it works amazingly. I love the smell and the texture of it. It is a little bit expensive, but what primer isn't these days? NARs also claims there are skin enhancing ingredients in it, but who really knows. If it improves my skin, its an added bonus

I find the primer works amazingly with the NARs sheer glow foundation (which is my fav), and makes my skin look healthy.

I would definitely recommend this is to anyone who wants to move away from the silicone based primer.
