Benefit Cosmetics: The POREfessional

With so many primers out on the market, it's hard to find a great one that creates the perfect canvas on your face. Benefit 'The POREfessional' claims to minimize pore size and flatter every skin tone. What's our verdict? It's a solid silicone primer.
It claims to apply invisible on all skin tones, and it's true! No ashy streaks!
Benefit always packages their makeup in retro-modern style, and this doesn't disappoint. The aqua squeeze tube has a vintage look to it, and the matte/velvet finish of the packaging material itself feels comfortable in your hands to use.
The texture is velvety soft...not greasy. After rubbing it on your skin, you don't feel oily at all. The first two ingredients are silicone which explains the velvet finish--if you are allergic to silicone this is not the product for you. The scent of the product reminds you of a pleasant and faint fruit floral, something you'd smell on your grandmother's vanity.
Before applying your tinted moisturizer, you put the primer on one half of your face to see the difference. After applying foundation to your full face, you notice that the primed side looked and felt smooth, and stayed that way. That said, if you're looking for a primer to increase wearability and durability, this is a great find.
