NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pore Filler Blurring Primer, Vegan Face Primer

I am a 39 year old male who uses this on their nose every morning after a shower. The reason why I wanted to try this out was to see how much it could help with “closing” pours and preventing breakouts. I do not use any other “acne” product.I have now been using this product every day for for over two years now, and I have found this helps with the following:1) levels the skin layers on your nose without leaving a greasy or caked feel - important to me as a guy. It’s crazy how effective the layering is and how smooth and “even” your skin will feel.2) most definitely prevents your pores from becoming clogged or inflamed. If you are used to experiencing a breakout or so about once a month like I did, this will cut that down to 1-2 smaller breakouts for your entire year. Incredible trade-off.3) product lasts round 10-12 months if you are using it every day (you don’t need a lot to achieve the desired results).It is hard to believe I haven’t been using this product all my life, as it could have saved me so much time and heartache over red splotchy terribleness through my late twenties/early thirties.I am sure this works just fine for the ladies, but for men out there needing something discreet, clean and easy to use, do yourself a favor and get this. You can thank me later that you did.

I got this to try on my pitted acne scars. The first few times I put it on, I wasn't at all happy. But then I got it down. It just took me a few times to figure out how I need to put it on. It does take a lot for me to do both my cheeks that are scarred. But it is definitely worth it! It's a tiny bottle for the price though. But still, I'll keep buying it. It didn't completely get rid of the scars but it definitely made them look smoother. I'm very happy with the results. What I did was put some on, the turned a cool blow dryer on my face to dry it, and then put another layer on and dried that too. It takes a while to dry, and you feel like it'll easily rub off. But it has stayed on now for a few hours. I didn't need to put foundation over it, it covered pretty good. I just used NYX translucent powder, using a fluffy brush VERY LIGHTLY dusting over it so not to disturb it while it wasn't dried yet. What I love most about it is that unlike concealer or foundation, it doesn't settle into lines and doesn't look caked at all (I'm 47). That's why I decided not to put my foundation over it. It stayed looking nice. I'll try to come back and add before/after pictures when I have time. Just remember if you don't like it at first, don't give up on it. Keep trying ways to put it on. I have to put a lot, like I said, and just very lightly pat it with my finger. It smooths out and blends almost naturally.

As soon as you start to read the reviews for this product, change the way they show you the reviews from "Top-Rated" to "Most Recent". If you don't, the first comments are from 2018 - a time when this product was the bomb-diggity! Unfortunately, the product has gone downhill. And I mean WAY downhill...So, I purchased this product in July of 2019. It was flawless in every way known! I loved this stuff and shared it with my daughter's teenage friends. I used this miracle powdery substance every day! And eventually, I ran out. So, I purchased more in July of 2021 and I was excited to use it again. I really loved this stuff!It arrived in the mail and I opened it up and went straight to the mirror to put this glorious product on my face. I squeezed the tube and nothing came out at first so I shook it up. I tried again and it kinda 'coughed' out some of whatever was in this tube and it was a mess in my hand, like an explosion of soft dirt. I was perplexed so I tried it again and well... not only was it all over my hands, it was on my mirror, my makeup table, my shirt, my hair, on the floor, and even some on my dog! I was like - ok, this is a messed up order. Always giving the benefit of the doubt, I order more. Well, nothing changed and I have no idea what happened to the previous product but this ain't it!!I feel like they put out this fantastic product and when it became popular, they trimmed their ingredients list down to get a higher return. The ole bait and switch routine. I see all the other comments and they are just like mine with the same experience. I purchased the last container in September of 2021 so now that it is May of 2022, I feel they have had ample time to fix this issue. I will not purchase it again, ever.

This is a keeper for me. Works better than a much more expensive brand.May take experimenting with application to find the best method if you don't like it on the first try. Before or after moisturizer, before or after sunscreen or makeup, or sandwiched between these various products with powder last. Il
