Face Primer for Makeup - No Pore Zone Mattifying Primer with Lily & Bamboo Extract for a Matte Finish, 1.0 Fl. Oz

I wasn’t expecting much because I’ve never had good experiences with primers, but I like this one. My biggest issues are large pores sweating off my makeup. I followed the instructions then applied my makeup as usual. I noticed it reduced the appearance of the big pores on my nose. While not completely gone, they were much less noticeable. Despite it being 88° out, my makeup stayed put, even on my nose. This primer feels very light on my skin, not like I’m wearing a mask. It also hasn’t crumbled or flaked off, which usually happens with other primers. I think I’ll be investing in the setting powder and spray next.

The Milani Mattifying & Pore‑Minimizing Face Primer has quickly become a key part of my makeup routine—smooth, shine-free, and beautifully flattering. 🌸 What I Love: Silky Soft Finish: Applies smoothly and fills in visible pores, creating a poreless, airbrushed base that feels light and never chalky under foundation. Long-Lasting Matte: Keeps oily skin shine-free for hours—perfect for long days, busy commutes, or warm weather. Improves Makeup Wear: My foundation goes on evenly and stays fresh longer—there’s less sliding and fading throughout the day. Whipped, Lightweight Texture: Feels creamy and moisturizing, not heavy or greasy—makes skin feel pampered, not masked. ⚠️ A Few Tips: Skip if Skin’s Dry: Best for oily to combo skin types—if your skin’s very dry, you might need a hydrating primer first. Using a Small Amount: Just a dime-size amount is enough for your whole face; too much can make skin feel a bit matte-sticky. ✅ Final Take: If you want a budget-friendly, effective primer to smooth pores, control shine, and help foundation last, this Milani primer does the job beautifully. It gives skin a refined base and enhances your makeup without fuss. Highly recommend for everyday glow with polish!

Love this primer. Great for dry skin. It’s blurs most of my pores. I buy this often.

Review updated 04/29/25: Now that I have gotten used to this primer, I really like it. It is thicker than the other Milani primer that I was accustomed to, so it actually also serves as a foundation of sorts. It leaves the skin looking smooth, with a healthy glow. Previous review: It's OK, but thicker than the Milani primer I was "in love" with. However, I couldn't buy the one I liked because when I called Milani, I was told that it's for oily skin, and I have dry skin. The one I liked was very light and felt like silk; it came in the black tube and the gel was pinkish. NOTE: I'm a woman and my son purchased the product for me on his AmazonU account, so I'm writing the review here.

I’m 63 and the texture of my skin has definitely changed. I’m always trying primers and foundations. To add to the problem, I have some crazy sun spots, from all those fun days at the creek, when I was growing up. I can afford good products and I have gone through plenty, searching for camouflage to soften the look of my darn sun spots. I bough a few milani products a couple weeks age and literally misplaced them. I found them today and did a trial run. I started by applying the rose and melon corrected on my sunspots & blended. Then I applied the primer and I applied the correctors again, to my sunspots and blended again. I let everything set for about 5 min and then I used the 01 honey corrector as a contour, as its for warmer skin tones. I used it on my cheekbones, my temples and even my eyes. I was so pleased with the natural looking results, that I had to do a video, to prove that it really camouflaged my sun spots. Nothing will ever conceal them fully, which I accept, but this combo did really well. I actually felt no need to apply any foundation . I’ve tried other illuminating primers and they leave me looking way too shiny and I end up applying powder, to calm the effect. I did not feel the need to do that with this product. It feels nice on the skin, kind of like a light moisturizer. I’m glad I discovered this. I’ll be traveling soon & I’ll transfer some of the primer into a smaller bottle, so it’ll take up less space. Applying the primer, camouflaging my sunspots and doing some light contouring, took all of 3 minutes….I was just amazed and mostly relieved, to find a combo that gave such nice results. I can’t attest to the longevity, but I will spritz with a setting spray, as I always do, and hope everything stays in place.
