The New Primer To Help You Ace Your Base
CREATED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BENEFIT COSMETICS
The POREfessional Background…
Benefit’s POREfessional formula has earned cult status for its silky, lightweight balm-texture that doesn’t physically shrink pores, but certainly makes them less noticeable. Designed to be worn under or over make-up, it never pills, while the light peach tint gives unbeatable glow. It also takes down oiliness – you can use a little on the areas most prone to shine – and its non-comedogenic formula never clogs pores. Hardly surprising, then, that Benefit went on to combine the award-winning formula with other targeted benefits: there’s now a setting spray that uses the same blur effect, while the ‘pearl primer’ improves glow, and the ‘hydrate primer’ locks in moisture. Completing the line-up is the new POREfessional Lite. Lightweight and fragrance-free, it’s been designed with sensitive skin types in mind.

Why You’ll Love The New ‘Lite’ Formula…
Offering all the blurring benefits of the original, but with a lighter formula, this is ideal for those with sensitive skin. Silicone free, it never feels sticky or greasy on the skin – just a small amount will even out the appearance of pores, while helping make-up adhere properly for a smoother finish. The formula is 73% water-based, which explains why it works well with other products – better still, it’s incredibly hydrating. Those prone to inflammation will love that it’s fragrance free, while the cooling sensation instantly takes down redness – a great all-rounder.
How To Use It…
Start by applying the primer to the middle of your face – around the nose and across the forehead. These are the key areas most prone to shine, oiliness and make-up movement – as well as visible pores. Start here and if you continue to see shine elsewhere, apply a small amount there too. You’ll be able to get away without wearing any foundation on top as it quickly diffuses uneven texture and gives skin a healthy radiance. Should you choose to apply a base make-up on top, just be sure to massage it on in thin layers, before letting it set for five minutes. Then go in with your foundation so everything is sealed in place.
