FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions Answered
What does face primer makeup do?
The role of primer in makeup is a biggie: smoothing the skin for seamless makeup application. You can also use primer on its own to reduce the appearance of pores and blur fine lines when foundation isn’t on the docket for the day.
What’s the big deal with The POREfessional pore primer?
With a creamy gel formula, sheer coverage, and natural finish to boot, this lightweight pore-minimizing primer creates a smoother-than-smooth base for any makeup (or no-makeup) look. Not only does it smooth the look of pores, but it smooths your skin, too.
How do I use The POREfessional pore primer?
The POREfessional smoothing primer to minimize the look of pores is our best makeup primer for normal, dry, oily, combination, and sensitive skin types—no need for special treatment here. Apply to the face using your fingertips to instantly smooth pores and fine lines, creating a silky-soft surface.
How long does the POREfessional primer last?
What’s the difference between The POREfessional and The POREfessional Matte Primer?
It’s all in the name! The POREfessional, our original primer, minimizes the appearance of pores and creates smooth canvas for makeup with a natural finish.
The POREfessional Matte Primer, like the original, minimizes the appearance of pores but is all about that natural matte look, instantly absorbing excess oil for a lasting natural-matte finish.
Beyond that, both the The POREfessional and The POREfessional Matte Primer are considered blurring makeup primers. They’re among our best face makeup primers for large pores and textured skin, instantly minimizing the look of pores and fine lines. They can both be worn alone or as a smoothing base for even makeup application.
How do I take care of my pores after wearing The POREfessional?
Part of being a true POREfessional is knowing how to please your pores. At the end of the day, cleanse your canvas with a double-cleanse using The POREfessional Get Unblocked pore-clearing makeup-removing cleansing oil and The POREfessional Good Cleanup pore-purifying foaming cleanser . Then, follow up with our award-winning The POREfessional Tight ‘n Toned Pore-refining AHA+PHA toning foam.
