Benefit The POREfessional

Large pores for the most part are genetic so if you're parents had large pores then it's likely that you do too. There is no real cure for large pores but there's many ways to temporary minimize them. Benefit The POREfessional is a PRO balm to minimize the appearance of pores. The formula is lightweight, oil-free and leaves a translucent and silky finish to the skin.

Benefit The POREfessional comes in a squeeze tube. On the front is the logo and on the back it gives you directions and information about the product. The opening is a good size so you don't squeeze out to much product.

I use the POREfessional only on my T-zone (forehead, nose area, and chin) so I typically use a pea size amount. The POREfessional is a silicone based primer that feels almost greasy when blending but doesn't leave any obnoxious shine or residue. The product does have a floral fragrance.

To apply the product I use my fingers and blend it out from the center of my face to the outside, though mostly concentrate it on the T-zone where my pores are more prominent. The left photo is my BEFORE application and as you can see my pores are fairly large. The right photo is my AFTER application and the results aren't a huge change but it does minimize them slightly. I usually get six hours of wear time either under a foundation or powder. This primer is great because it does make the skin smooth prior to foundation/powder and it controls shine so my foundation/powder lasts longer.
