- Shine control
- Concealing blemishes
- Downsizing the appearance of pores
- Not suitable for dry skin
Product Review
In recent years, NARS cosmetics is well received by a large number of girls. NARS launches three primers, of which the Pore & Shine Control Primer is perfect for oily or combination-oily skin. It prolongs the look of makeup without separating and minimizes the appearance of large pores while controlling shine.
The primer uses soft-focus powders to absorb excess oil and leave skin feeling weightless. It is also hailed as the “best balancing primer” by beauty writer Jasmine Garnsworthy in her article on Byrdie. This primer has a smooth texture that diminishes the look of pores instantly, covers fine lines and wrinkles, prepares skin for makeup application, and prolongs and enhances the look of makeup.
Even after using moisturizers, the Pore & Shine Control Primer can still surprisingly leave the skin with a matte finish. Since it does not include SPF protection, you will need to apply some sunscreen to it. However, the Pore & Shine Control Primer is often out of stock, so we highly recommend buying a few more when they are available!
