Face Primer for Makeup - No Pore Zone Mattifying Primer with Lily & Bamboo Extract for a Matte Finish, 1.0 Fl. Oz

The Milani Mattifying & Pore‑Minimizing Face Primer has quickly become a key part of my makeup routine—smooth, shine-free, and beautifully flattering. 🌸 What I Love: Silky Soft Finish: Applies smoothly and fills in visible pores, creating a poreless, airbrushed base that feels light and never chalky under foundation. Long-Lasting Matte: Keeps oily skin shine-free for hours—perfect for long days, busy commutes, or warm weather. Improves Makeup Wear: My foundation goes on evenly and stays fresh longer—there’s less sliding and fading throughout the day. Whipped, Lightweight Texture: Feels creamy and moisturizing, not heavy or greasy—makes skin feel pampered, not masked. ⚠️ A Few Tips: Skip if Skin’s Dry: Best for oily to combo skin types—if your skin’s very dry, you might need a hydrating primer first. Using a Small Amount: Just a dime-size amount is enough for your whole face; too much can make skin feel a bit matte-sticky. ✅ Final Take: If you want a budget-friendly, effective primer to smooth pores, control shine, and help foundation last, this Milani primer does the job beautifully. It gives skin a refined base and enhances your makeup without fuss. Highly recommend for everyday glow with polish!

I wasn’t expecting much because I’ve never had good experiences with primers, but I like this one. My biggest issues are large pores sweating off my makeup. I followed the instructions then applied my makeup as usual. I noticed it reduced the appearance of the big pores on my nose. While not completely gone, they were much less noticeable. Despite it being 88° out, my makeup stayed put, even on my nose. This primer feels very light on my skin, not like I’m wearing a mask. It also hasn’t crumbled or flaked off, which usually happens with other primers. I think I’ll be investing in the setting powder and spray next.

This stuff works!

For very small pores

So far truly love this product, it does minimize the appearance of my pores and is a nice smooth base for a light foundation or can be worn just alone, like on days when I go to the gym and don’t wear makeup.

Normal

Terrible product. I apply it before the foundation (which is also from the same brand), but the primer doesn't hold the makeup in place, the foundation comes off very easily, and my skin looks awful.

This stuff is amazing! I have combination skin with large pores around and on my nose; blurs them like a boss! I have tried numerous “pore-less” face primers, from high end to over the counter. This is better than the high end! I have been using Il Makiage which costs 4x more and this Milani works way better!
