Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the Sephora Pore & Fine Line Filler Primer.
My sister recently bought this and I couldn’t resist, I had to try it, but I have to say, after trying the Clarins Sos Primer, my expectations are definitely high. Every new primer I try has to compete with that one.
This one kind of reminded me of the Benefit POREfessional that is a total bestseller and I’ve definitely loved it in the past. Guarantee this Sephora one is more affordable.
You can get it here for 14$
PACKAGING
The packaging is pretty, I like the squeezy tube as it disperses the right amount of product without wasting any of it. You need don’t need a lot of product, less than a pea-size.
It doesn’t feel particularly fancy but it gets the job done.
EFFECT & TEXTURE
This primer feels quite silicone and velvety, as you can see it’s slightly tinted but it ends up being completely invisible on the skin.
Sadly it doesn’t make my skin any smoother but it’s very matte which is not what I wanted, mainly because my skin it’s not as oily as it used to be so although the final effect is not terrible in my opinion it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do, fill my pores, which you can still see from the photos.
The best way to apply it is by dabbing it on with your fingers.
LASTING POWER
I was amazed by the lasting power: my foundation stayed on and matt for about 8 hours which was rather impressive.
RATINGS:
- Effect: 5/10
- Longevity: 8/10
- Application: 8/10
- Texture: 9/10
- Packaging: 9/10
GRADE: C-
Sadly this product doesn’t work for my skin type. It doesn’t minimize my pores and too matt for my tastes. I like the packaging and the final effect is nice but it won’t do much for your pores. If you have oily skin though I think you might really like it as it kept me very matt all day.

I haven’t used a primer in so long. These days I’m doing well to remember moisturizer. ha Thanks for your honest review of this product. You have me thinking. 🙂
Thank you! Moisturiser is so important! You are welcome xx
sounds like it could be good to keep the shine away, but too bad it didn’t help with pores!
It does but since it’s literally called “pores” I was expecting that more than the matt effect
I am so sorry to hear that the product didn’t work for you. I think I find the product helful for me fif it fills the pores the way this primer did. I am just afraid of the product that do better job most of them leave my pored clogged after some time. Thank you for sharing the review though, I am gonna be aware!
Let me know how you like it! Xx
I definitely need something that will work with my pores. Than you for such a thorough review!
