4 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
This primer visibly blurs pores and smooths the skin without going hard matte, making it especially good for the T-zone on combination skin. Gurus praise how a little goes a long way and that it keeps makeup in place all day on oily areas while preventing dry patches from flaking. The putty texture sits on top of the skin in a way that feels pressed into the pores rather than heavy, and several experts rate it as a worthwhile alternative to higher-priced options.
