What Is a Pore Primer
A pore primer is a skincare or makeup base product designed to fill and minimize the appearance of pores before foundation. It creates a smoother surface, helps makeup adhere longer, and can reduce excess oil throughout the day.
Types of Pore Primers
Silicone-based primers blur pores with a soft focus effect, while water-based options offer lightweight hydration. Mattifying primers control shine, and illuminating primers add subtle glow. Choosing the right type depends on skin type and desired finish.
How to Choose and Apply
Select a primer based on skin type: oil-free for oily skin, hydrating for dry skin, and fragrance-free for sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to clean, moisturized skin, focusing on areas with visible pores, then blend evenly before foundation.
