Benefit Porefessional Primer

First of all, there's Benefit Porefessional Primer. It's created for all skin types, it's by far the best primer to minimize pores. However, it does clump sometime based on statement from people with dry skin. So, it's a gamble if you have dry skin but it's perfect for the one with normal and oily skin.

Banila Co Prime Primer Classic

Second one is Banila Co Prime Primer Classic. It doesn't hide the pores at all, but since it has moisturizing effect, people still love to use it as a base before foundation. The texture is silky and it can be a little bit uncomfortable for people with oily skin.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Smoothing Resurfacing Primer

The third primer and the only one with pot packaging is L'Oreal Studio Secrets Professional Smoothing Resurfacing Primer. It's great for people who have super oily skin or big pores.

A'PIEU Start Up Pore Primer

The fourth primer and the most affordable one is A'PIEU Start Up Pore Primer. It's pretty good but it's too average to boast about anything. Considering the nice price, it's a good product that is worth the money.

Bobbi Brown Skin Smoothing Pore Perfector

The last one is Bobbi Brown Skin Smoothing Pore Perfector which is the priciest primer of all five. It's nice and smooth, doesn't seem to hide the pores really well but instead control the amount of oil perfectly.

So, what do you think the most suitable makeup primer for you? If you have experience with any primer above, leave a comment and share with us.

  • Aritaum Style Pop Water Tint

First of all, Benefit Benetint. This is what korean called the classic because it's the first lip tint to come out and at that moment all girls use it. It's good and looks natural but it's dry.
YSL Rouge pur Couture Glossy Stain is the exact opposite. It's bold in color but very moisturizing.
Peripera Peri’s Tint Water is similar to Benefit one but it's a little bit more moisturizing and a lot cheaper.
Tony Moly Shaking Tint Delight is so bright in color and it's really long lasting.
