Oh hello!! We have a new member of the POREfessional product range and I am extremely happy to learn that it’s a foundation! Benefit POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup is a skin base that has been formulated to minimise the look of pores and cover imperfections. Yay!! Here are all the details with before and after photos.

I am always interested in pore minimising foundations because I absolutely hate my pores! Being a lover of foundations and a hater of pores, I literally could not wait to get this on my face!

Benefit POREfessional Pore Minimizing Makeup Features

• Weightless, ultra-thin formula
• Covers imperfections without clogging pores
• Smooths, blurs and reduces the look of pores
• Instantly mattifies
• Controls shine for up to 8 hours
• Blends smoothly and seamlessly
• Include mushroom extract known to minimise the appearance of pores
• Comes with it’s own buffing sponge for targeted application
• 5 shades

Just like the POREfessional Agent Zero Shine powder, this is packaged perfectly for application on the go.

You simply shake up and dispense a couple of drops on to the sponge applicator and then lightly buff it into the skin, focusing on where the pores are most visible.

After:

I used a touch of MAC Pro Longwear Concealer under my eyes as I don’t think the matte texture of this foundation is suited to the delicate skin there.

I think this would be absolutely amazing over a really sheer and glowy base like the new MAC Next to Nothing Face Colour or even The Ordinary Serum foundation if you tend to get an oily t-zone. It sets very quickly on its own so I found there was no need for powder which is always a bonus for me!
