I have read many good reviews about the NYX Pore Filler Primer, which convinced me to purchase it from Ulta.

The Pore Filler can be worn as a primer, over makeup, or by itself to minimize the appearance of pores. When I used the Pore Filler as a primer, it was difficult to apply due to how thick and clumpy it was when it came out of the tube. My face did feel smooth like with the NYX Studio Perfect Primer, and my makeup did apply easily.
However, the Pore Filler did nothing to the appearance of my pores even after waiting several minutes for it to dry before applying the rest of my makeup. I did not use a setting spray to see if the Pore Filler would help my makeup last during the day, and my makeup did not last just like if I did not use a primer. Also, I tried wearing the Pore Filler over my makeup, and I felt like it rubbed some of my makeup off, and again, the makeup that was left did not last throughout the day.
I would never wear the Pore Filler alone because it does nothing to minimize the appearance of my pores. However, I do have oily skin, and I do not know if that affected my results with this primer. With that said, I thought the Pore Filler could be used with oily skin and also benefit all skin types.
Overall, the NYX Pore Filler was a big letdown because it was completely useless for me and it did not minimize the appearance of pores or even help my makeup last throughout the day.

interesting review! i was thinking about getting it, but now I’m not too sure.
There are a lot of bloggers I know that love & recommend this pore filler, but it just didn’t work me. I don’t know if you’ll have a better experience, but this pore filler is only $14 compared to $31 for Benefit’s pore filler.
Thanks for the honesty of this review!
You’re welcome!
This one seems so nice
For me, it didn’t work at all as a primer though
Pore filler? Setting spray? 🙂 Make-up is now starting to sound like all the items I got in my shed. Hahaha.
Haha 😃
Ah, negative reviews, I do believe they are my fave 🙂
Same here haha
