NARS Pro-Prime Skin Smoothing Face Prep



Oh, how did I live without you?!

So a few weeks ago, I set out on yet another Sephora trip in search of a pore minimizer. I’ve never used one before, so it was difficult to chose from the various products Sephora has in their arsenal. I was looking at Benefit’s POREfessional, Boscia Skin Perfecting Primer, Shiseido Pore Smoothing Corrector, and of course the NARS Pro-Prime. I chose the NARS, because it was the only one that was NOT a liquid. I currently use a moisturizer, and a face serum – both liquids – so using a 3rd liquid product on my face in the morning seemed excessive. And I’m glad I chose it!

The best way to describe Pro-Prime is a non-oily, lightweight balm. I use it around my nose and mouth (where my pores appear a bit bigger) prior to putting on my foundation. The directions state that it can be worn under OR over foundation, so I suppose it’s your preference =) It does a great job of smoothing out your pores, and ultimately makes your foundation application flawless! I apply it using my fingers and blend it in little circles where needed. It doesn’t crease at all throughout the day, and didn’t make me break out thank god. I’m kinda loving this.

Do you guys use any products like this? If so, which do you suggest?
