So let me start off by saying that if you self tan then this is a product for you! I spray tan but due to chem peels my face I'd always white :/ this primer has the perfect tint of bronze that does look a bit orange at first but when rubbed in it blends flawlessly! It has an SPF 20 and contains a small amount of retinal to increase cell turnover rate! Plus it is fab to wear alone on a Sunday ! Def recommend this to a bronze babe or just for a foundation swap in the summer !

Great makeup primer-goes on smooth and provides your skin with a nice glow. I like the fact that it isn’t as oily as most primers, but still manages to moisturize your skin. I like to switch it up between this product & Smashbox’s primer so my face doesn’t become accustom. My oily skin tends to stay somewhat under control with this product.

I love this primer but I only really use it in the summer because I think the tint is too much for the fall and winter time. It is $38 CAD which is extremely pricy for a 1oz bottle but a little bit goes a very long way with this product. It glides on the skin beautifully and as it says in the name it does reduce pore size which is amazing. It controls most of the shine I get in the summer time and leaves me with a beautiful tint to my skin, I look so sunkissed with it especially when I pair it with some bronzer. It keeps my foundation put all day so that is a really big plus since I get really shiny or sweaty when I'm out and about in the summer time. I like the packaging for the most part but I'm worried about when I only have a little bit left and how I will manage to get the rest of it out, I might just cut the bottle open lol but that's pretty unsanitary. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants that lovely sunkissed look and wants to tone down on makeup use in the summer because this also has light coverage so you don't even need to use foundation if you want :)

I've been using a deluxe sample of this in the hollows of my cheeks, and then use a bronzer on top of it. The color that comes out of the tube is a little scary at first, but it looks fine once you blend it into your skin. That being said, there is a definite wash of color to this stuff, so if you're super pale, I'd think about getting your hands on a tester before buying this.
I like to use this to extend the staying power of my bronzer, or you could probably use it as a bronzer itself. Not sure this is something you want to use on your entire face (especially if you have oily skin). The sides of my face are on the drier side so this works well there, but I can't imagine this would hold up on my oily t-zone.

This product is okay. I received it as a deluxe sample after ordering some stuff from online. It goes on well and fills in pores making them less noticeable. It clogs my pores because I break out when ever I use this, especially around my chin. I wouldn't buy the full size version. It is costly and isn't that amazing.

Love it! SPF and a nice glow. If I put on too much by accident it can seem orange at first, but becomes a nice brown after powder and blush. I mix it with a bit of Clarins tinted SPF 40 if I'm going to be outside all day, and skip the foundation. A product I will buy again, definitely.

I really like how the untinted version fared and thought this would be much better for my current needs. It's summer now and a little warmth plus spf is perfect! I only use a small amount and apply lightly and pat all over my face, especially my cheek area where I want to hide my pores. A tad exepensive at $30 but this will last a very long time since I only use half a pea size. I love the warmth and that this has SPF in it compared to the original. I'll continue to use even after the warmer months. Check out my review for the original version.

LOVE this product. It is a primer but really has a bit of coverage too. Gives just enough color to warm up your skin if you use a small amount. It is basically identical to the Guerlain Terracotta Skin Healthy Glow Foundation (I don't care that they label it as a foundation, it does NOT have enough coverage to qualify as one; let's be honest, it's a primer) but half the price! LOVE!

The color looks a lot darker than I imagined but when I blended on my face it somewhat faded. In terms of a primer, this product did not do a great job. By the end of my work day, my face was starting to look a bit greasy. I guess the SPF 20 works but I also didn't notice much with my pores. Too faced tried to do too much with this product and failed.

This primer looks good in theory, especially with the Mulberry extract and vitamin A. It makes my any make up smoothes easily on my face and give me a nice sun kissed tone. However, after once or twice using this it made me break out horribily like there's no tomorrow. So for that i have to give it a two.

I was at Ulta several months ago looking for a good primer for the especially hot months at school (I live in Florida) and the Loreal one was not working. Immediately I was directed towards Primed and Poreless and I loved it, my skin feels smooth, my pores look really tiny, and the application for my tinted moisturizer is a lot easier and smoother. It also has many beneficial vitamins in the product, I love it! The next time I visited Ulta, I was recommended the tinted version. Even this ghostly white Ulta employee loved this stuff! It transitions to fit your skin color, at first the application is a bit orange-y dont be alarmed. It gives decent enough coverage for me (its pretty sheer) I would put my Mac Mineralized Skinfinish in Medium-Plus and I would be good to go. Plus the primer has SPF! I also love to put this under my tinted moisturizer, it gives me a nice summer tan! Plus I think my tinted moisturizer is a tad too light on me, this is perfect! And to apply, you dont need a lot of product either!

It looks orangey but the color settles, and when you apply products on top (because it is a primer), it looks fantastic. I would highly recommended to buy it, or the next time you see it, ask for a sales rep to apply it on for you.

I really like this primer. It has a rather dark tint for it to be a bronzer for more fair skin-tones, but on my NC45 skin this is perfect. It makes me look healthy without being greasy or shiny. I dont even need to put on my tinted moisturizer after this. A good buy for medium to dark skintones.

I had both the bronzer version and the original Primed & Poreless products in my hands in the shop and to be honest I'm dissapointed that I opted for the Bronze one. Yes the product applies smoothy and feels silky on the skin but the bronze tone is not nice. I have rosey cheeks and NW25 skin but I love the bronzed look bit this looked muddy and patchy! :( I have seen other reviews saying this stuff is amazing which Is the reason I got it but for me it wasn't great. I didn't feel it held my makeup well either. All in all a bit of a waste of money for me. I wish I had just tried the original tint free formula first.

Man, I hated this to the point that I had to write my review right away. The primer itself might be a good product but what is up with the tint? The tint looks orange and gross. It looked awful on my NC30/NC35 face. It appeared as I put some red mud on my face and was running around like a fool. I even tried this with a powder and bronzer on top and it was even worse..... Not recommended!

I love love love the orginal formula of this primer and couldn't wait to try this bronze tinted version especially since they have added SPF. I bought this at Ulta for $30 which is the same price as the original formula. You get 1oz of product and it comes in a squeeze tube so it's very easy to get the product out. I will say this product does have a bit of a suntan lotion smell to it but I like that smell so it doesn't bother me.

Now I am extremely pale, in every foundation I am the lightest shade and it's not always light enough depending on the brand ! But this product does not look orange or muddy on my skin. You really just need a little bit and you have to blend well with your fingers and then, voila, you have a gorgeous glow. It helps me transition my foundation into summer so I don't have to buy a new shade. I self tan my body using Tan Towels but I am very breakout prone so I don't use self tanner on my face. This product makes everything look nice and even and match. Don't get me wrong though it's not going to make you look crazy tan, it's a subtle glow. Also the bronze tone helps even out and hide the redness on my face which is always a good thing.

This is a really good primer too! I use the Bare Escentuals Matte Foundation in Fair and it stays on all day when I use this primer. Plus this product makes your skin texture so smooth and even that foundation glides right on and blends flawlessly. I have experienced no breakouts from this product. no clogged pores, no added oiliness. It feels good on my skin. Will definitely repurchase when I run out. Hope its not limited edition !
