I just bought this, there is also a 10% code on the website.

It's new & seems very similar to Benefit Porefessional primer, but that is only 22ml, this is 50ml, over twice the size & a tad cheaper too!

my guess it's for oily skin so defo not similar, and that 'value' size that you won't find in shops.

JL has the PP one in and out of stock online all year round.

are these primers any good? I'm new to the whole benefit thing but have recently discovered boiing concealer for the hideous birth mark on my nose and have been advised that primer is the way forward? Any advice?

The best primer I've found is philosophy the present - but it doesn't seem to go well under
Every foundation.

Do you think boiing is good? I tried it once & didmt really rate it.

well im a bit of a makeup novice tbh, I only ever wear mascara. The coverage was really good! Anything else you can recommend? My birthmark is red and angry looking right on my nose and at 32yrs old I have finally got sick of people mentioning it and asking if I've fallen or something :-(
Is philsophy a benefit one?

No, philosophy is the make "the present" is the primer.

If you have something you want serious coverage of, you'd be best with a light foundation & then a fantastic concealer for the actual bit you want to cover, look at concealer a that offer tattoo coverage.

Also - have a look at this Video in Video in the link.

The thing I didn't like a boiing, it didn't dry.
When they dry I think they last longer

That's the problem I have with Avon's foundation. it doesn't like silicone or any with that similar texture primers. it blends better with creamier textures.

tried a sample of pore professional and didn't think much of it. Didnt like the texture and how much you actually need to cover the face.

you'll be lucky if one tube lasts you 2 weeks. I found it simply, OK.

grossly overpriced!!!!

If the concealer method and product works for you then great, don't trust these benebabes, if they're the ones telling you to use their prime for your issue. Their problem is they don't tailor their advice with your concern. they just have targets to x product no matter what.
