This is a game-changer for concealing large pores! I always use a primer when applying makeup due to my numerous pores of various sizes. As a result, I've tried nearly every primer on the market. While most primers effectively cover small pores, they struggle with larger ones. However, this primer excels at hiding even the most prominent pores. Its firm mousse texture is perfect for concealing large pores. After applying this and layering foundation on top, you can achieve a beautifully blurred skin effect without worrying about visible pores!
Cons
The heavy feel and thick application are somewhat disappointing. The glass packaging makes it quite weighty in your makeup bag. The jar format is inconvenient to use; I wish it came in a tube instead. Not recommended for those primarily concerned with small pores!
Tip
To combat the heavy, thick feel, try this technique: First, apply it to areas with large pores using a rolling motion with your fingers. Then, use a brush to gently sweep away any excess product. This method helps minimize the heavy sensation and thick application!

There's nothing quite like this for the T-zone. It's as soft and fluffy as a cloud, and when you apply it with a small, flat brush to fill in your pores, it works wonders as a base. Sometimes when I use pore primers, I get blemishes, but if I cleanse thoroughly, I don't have any issues with this one.
Cons
The texture is super soft and squishy, so you really need to control the amount you use! A tiny bit goes a long way - it's barely there, but it works!
Tip
To fill in your pores, gently massage it in horizontally once, then vertically once.

I purchased this product because it's well-known! The application is smooth, and the primer effect is certainly noticeable!
Cons
After use, there's an unavoidable dryness (is there no moisturizing primer?). The makeup tends to lift after using the primer. When I apply it to my eyes and do my makeup, the makeup creases.
Tip
They say it's best to apply the primer after sunscreen, but then the makeup ends up coming off. I found that applying it before the sunscreen works the best for a beautiful, seamless finish.

Due to the nature of primers, they tend to be a bit thick, but this product seems to be less so.
Cons
I've seen a lot of good reviews for the small size, but I haven't really felt any significant effects.

It makes my dry skin look blurry and smooth without drying it out. Even without powder application, it finishes as thinly as if it was powdered when I apply foundation on top. The foundation color also seems to express itself naturally and beautifully. I thought it was great right away on the first day of use, but I was concerned about it clogging pores and causing breakouts. After using it for a few days and observing, I'm leaving a review since I didn't have any breakouts.
Cons
It's not so much a downside as it is something I may dislike - it makes my bare skin look more like I'm wearing makeup than having a good skin-like finish. I'm a warm-toned light type, and the more obvious the makeup looks, the more unappealing it becomes to me. With this product, I get that feeling a bit right after application. But this is unrelated to the product performance - it gets better as my own oils mix with it over time!
Tip
Applying only a small amount and patting it on lightly can help reduce the heavy, cakey look.

The texture definitely feels heavier than other primers, giving a sense of effectively filling in pores.
Cons
If applied too heavily, it can feel a bit cloying, but other than that, there don't seem to be any issues.

✔️First, my skin type is combination and the T-zone area where I apply primer is close to oily. My skin is also sensitive and breaks out easily if not properly matched. ✅The L'Oreal Paris Base Magic Primer definitely fills in pores in the areas I applied it, controls oil, and provides a smooth, blurred effect!!! ▶️Usage: After your usual skincare routine, if you're using a color-correcting sunscreen, use the primer before the sunscreen. If you're using a regular sunscreen without color-correction, use the primer after the sunscreen.
Cons
The mattifying effect is quite strong, so dry-skinned people may feel like their skin is flaking, like dry patches. It seems to work a bit better for oily-skinned people ~~ If dry-skinned people still want to try it, using it the way I do below may help resolve the dryness a bit, so it could work for dry skin types as well!
Tip
I've been using this combination recommended by YouTubers for almost a month now, and it matches my skin so well and hasn't caused any breakouts, so it's become an essential in my makeup bag :) Since I use a color-correcting sunscreen, ✔️After skincare, I apply >L'Oreal Paris Primer >Missha Base Prep >Color-correcting sunscreen in that order every day ~~ Doing this before makeup makes the makeup apply so nicely and completely cover my pores, making my skin look so beautiful ㅠㅠ Later on, the makeup also breaks down beautifully and the oil is somewhat controlled, so it doesn't get messy easily. I'm so satisfied~ This is my honest, tried-and-true review. As someone who struggled with large pores and a ruddy complexion, this has helped resolve those concerns a lot, so I really recommend it to those who have similar issues... ♥️The L'Oreal Paris Primer + Missha Base Prep combination is so smooth and gives the best skin finish......🤍

♡ The cream has a medium texture, so it applies smoothly and effectively fills in pores. ♡ A small amount is effective, so I think the price-to-volume ratio is reasonable.
Cons
☆ Since it's a pot type, a spatula is needed separately. ☆ If you apply too much or rub it for too long, it can pill. ☆ The container is glass, so I'm concerned it might break when packing for travel abroad.

The coverage is great, and it leaves a super soft and fluffy finish. The texture feels a bit like a cleansing balm, with a slightly firm consistency.
Cons
The makeup tends to slip and it felt too drying for me. I think those with dry skin will likely find it quite drying as well.

The primer finishes with a slightly powdery texture and has a generous amount.
Cons
I'm not sure about the effectiveness, so I stopped using it! It's sitting in the corner...
