Okay, so I've been using this for about a month on and off now and I think I've made up my mind about it. I'm going to start with my first impressions and get to my final opinion about it in a bit. The packaging of this is pretty cute and easy to use. The product itself is interesting. It's this weird beige mousse stuff that fluffs out of the tube in small doses so you don't have to really worry about getting too much out. It's very soft and kind of slippery, but not in a gross greasy way. I have fairly big pores on my nose so this is where I use it most. It goes on pretty well and a little does go a long way. At first I didn't think it was really doing much and I thought it seemed a bit cakey, but after I smoothed it out and went about the rest of my makeup routine (foundation, concealer etc) I was pleasantly surprised at how nice my problem pore areas looked after I applied my foundation. It made them look so much smaller and I didn't find that my concealer settled into my pores as much as it sometimes does. Such a weird texture, but a nice outcome over all. It is worth it of you struggle with large looking pores and like I said, a little goes a long way so the price is reasonable.

This pore filler is a great alternative for the Too Faced Primed and Poreless! I picked this product up at my local ULTA recently and I like it a lot. It has a slight tint to it but it doesn't really show on the skin. It does a very nice job filling in the pore around my nose. It does have a very silky feel to it. As far as prolonging the wear of my foundation, not so much. But that's not really its purpose. This is less than half of Too Faced Primed and Poreless(this retails for $13 US and Too Faced is about $30). I really like this product and recommend it to people with minimal pore issues. Hope this helped someone! :)

My name is Latoya and I have oily skin..oh wait, this isn't OSA? Let me just say that I really like this product, it has a light scent, you only have to use a smidgen and it works for me. I'm AA with medium brown skin the main issue that I have is my forehead, and cheeks are VERY oily. I use this product after my moisturizer and that's pretty much my routine. I don't really wear foundation but I'm positive that this will provide a smooth canvas (as it works pretty much like a primer). So, I give it four stars:) If anyone knows of a better product please let me know!!!!

Its just ok. NYX definitely has better stuff out there. My friend gave it to me because she wasn't using it, and I have to say if I bought it I would be a bit disappointed. I also find it too expensive for its small size.

I'm surprised by all the negativity about this product, to be honest.
Yes this does contain silicone/silicone derivatives, but when it comes to 'pore filling' products, I don't think there's really any out there that don't contain it for 'slip' purposes.

I don't really have offensively large pores (especially since stepping up my exfoliating routine) that need covering up, but I wanted to try this to smooth over my acne scarring and rough areas of skin (from acne).

I think this does an amazing job of smoothing over those areas, and what large-ish pores I do have are minimized really well.

I love the tube packaging, it's sanitary and you can control the amount of product dispensed really easily.
Also, the fact that it's 20ml and not 30ml of product is actually a good thing imo, I never use up primers within their use by date.

The product comes out as a mousse-like texture that dries to a kind of powdery finish - not the best for dry skin, but it works with a good moisturiser prior to application.

I'm taking off points for it's actual 'priming abilities'; it doesn't increase the lasting power of my foundation that much (maybe 1 - 3 hours? which to me is pretty poor).

Otherwise, pretty great, inexpensive product! Unless I find something better I would repurchase.

...I put that I would repurchase. The truth is though that I wouldn't, but I wanted to be fair. This IS a decent product.

I have oily skin. I think NYX Pore Filler would be much more suited for someone with normal to dry skin. It is silky smooth, and in my opinion a dead on dupe of Too Faced's Primed & Poreless for a fraction of the price. I love that NYX offers quality affordable products.

I have huge pores, & this did an *okay* job at camouflaging them. Nothing spectacular, but worth a try..... continued >>

The texture of this has a nice silky feel and is reasonably priced. It is basically a tinted serum. This will cover your pores but you have to use quite a bit. I previousely thought this was translucent but it is slightly pigmented which is how it lends a hand for minimum coverage. I'd personally prefer more product but it was fairly cheap so that compensates for it.

Mediocre primer. Makes my foundation go on smoother but doesnt really do anything for my pores. It actually works better as an eyeshadow primer than a foundation primer, which is what it's being used for now.

This was horrible. The texture is really weird, nothing like I was expecting. My pores show quite a bit and it did absolutely nothing to hide them. Complete waste of money.

I didn't feel like this covered my pores. I have large orange-rind pores on my cheeks that I'd love to cover. Yet I can't use products with silicones 'cause I'll break out. And the fun part is that this has silicones in it. Which means I broke out in acne all over my face. Joy. I would not recommend this product to anyone acne prone. If you're in the lucky category of not reacting poorly to silicone, go buy this up.
