For those of you who haven't heard about it yet, the Porefessional Powder is the new sister product
for Benefit's hugely popular Porefessional Primer. I have to say I love the Porefesional primer, so I was excited to see what the powder version
had to offer. It's a loose powder that claims not only to minimise
pores, but to eliminate shine and leave the skin with an invisible,
lightweight matte finish.
The Packaging is typical Benefit, fun and innovative. The built-in brush and compact dispenser makes it perfect for quick application but I can't help thinking the packaging looks and feels quite cheap, which is dissapointing considering the £23.50 price tag. The brush is soft but very small, so not something I would use in my day to day makeup routine.
Packaging aside the product itself is quite nice. The powders very light weight on the skin and doesnt have an overly matte finish. I can't say I'm sold on the poreminimising properties, it doesnt provide a dramatic minimising effect to the pores like the Porefessional but it does control shine for 5-6 hours.
Overall I think the Porefessional powder has some good benefits, it's relatively long lasting and blends well but I'm afraid im not sold. You get 7g for £23.50 so I was expecting the powder to be quite exceptional for the price.
If you're looking for a loose powder to keep in your bag for touchups and shine control, this product could well be for you.
Have you tried this yet? What do you think of the quality and price point?

I'm not completely sold on this - I like the porefessional in general but this seems more gimmicky for some reason, I think there is better out there for sure.

ReplyDeleteThis was very helpful! I'm into anything that minimises pores but don't think I'm prepared to spend a lot of money on a powder. Great post :)

I usually really like Benefit products, but I'm not a fan of powders and if you say this is not worth it I would pass of this one and probably try Make Up Forever HD powder (It always has amazing reviews!). xx
