NYX Pore Filler - Product Review

NYX Pore Filler Primer - Product Review



This product claims to:

Reduce the look of your pores promptly using the Pore Filler.  The talc-free and oil-free base coat is perfect to apply prior to putting on your favourite foundation. The Pore Filler includes Vitamin E to enhance and smoothen your skin.

Packaging:

The nyx pore filler primer comes in a simple, basic, light weight, easy to use and carry white coloured tube packaging with a screw off capt. it has a narrrow-nozzle like tip on the top which dispenses the product.

My Experience with nyx pore filler primer:

I passed through this product in sephora and tried it on myself. I do not have very huge pores but they are existent. On applying it onto m face, i instantly felt a strange feeling of softness. when i looked into the mirror, it did fill my pores considerably and they were less noticeable.

The texture of this peach-beige coloured pore filler is a lightweight cream like, which seems crumbly when you squeeze out some amount. However, it is surprising that even though that, it does not have any particles that leave that crumbly feeling. Actually, despite being creamy and crumbly it dries to powdery finish, which is an added plus point if you have oily skin. It has a slight chemical type of smell which fades away once you have applied it.

This product actually does fill up the pores and gives an almost air brushed, poreless, velvety finish to the skin and this makes my foundation glide easily and being a silicone based product it smoothes out the skin well too. I find this product suitable only to use under my foundation.

My skin combination is oily and dry, but i have not seen this product breaking me out - however, I do not use it on a daily basis. I use it on the days where i require heavy make up application. even though it mattifies the face and dries as a powdery finish it does lack in controlling the oil.

Thus in this case blotting papers could help to control the oil produced. After 5 to 6 hours, i did feel that my face looked a little greasy but my makeup was more or less still in place. So, i believe that this product does help my makeup set and last. Overall, It's a pretty decent product and has proved true on its claim of minimizing the look of pores.

Pros:

* efficient
* works & Fill pores
* Lightweight formula, does not feel heavy on the skin
* Smoothes out the skin well (so application of makeup is easier)
* good for oily skin
* Improves staying power of makeup
* Oil free and talc free formula
* Has a faint fragrance, nothing very strong.
* Convenient to use and carry tube type packaging.
* Nyx products are not tested on animals.


cons:

* since it's a silicone - based primer, it may not be suitable for all skin types.
* Does not control oil after 5 to 6 hours of wearing.
* pricey for a 20ml tube.
