Make Up For Ever Step 1 Pore Minimizer Primer – 1 oz Lightweight Matte Smoothing, Pore-Reducing

Step 1 Pore Minimizer by Make Up For Ever is a smoothing face primer that visibly shrinks pores, blurs fine lines and creates a soft, even canvas for makeup.

Lightweight yet effective, this 1 oz primer works as the first step in your routine to refine skin texture and prolong a polished look. Formulated to reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and surface irregularities, it delivers immediate visual improvement while helping makeup apply more evenly. The formula is designed for long wear, offering up to 24 hours of corrective smoothing to keep skin looking matte and refined throughout the day.

How does this primer improve the look of pores and texture?

The formula fills and blurs uneven surfaces, creating a smoother skin plane so pores and fine lines appear less noticeable. Silky, film-forming ingredients create a soft-focus effect without feeling heavy, helping foundation sit uniformly. Results are instantaneous and continue to support a matte, refined finish under makeup.

• Visibly reduces pore appearance on contact
• Blurs fine lines for a softer skin texture
• Creates a smooth base that prevents foundation creasing

Will it make my makeup last longer and look better?

Yes — by evening out texture and controlling excess surface shine, the primer helps foundation adhere more evenly and resist sliding or patching. Its smoothing layer minimizes the need for touch-ups and keeps color true for extended periods. Use alone for a subtle matte finish or under foundation for enhanced longevity.

• Prevents foundation from settling into pores and lines
• Supports a longer-wearing makeup look
• Reduces mid-day shine for a balanced finish

How do I apply the Pore Minimizer for best results?

Apply a small amount after skincare and before foundation. Smooth it over areas with visible pores or texture using fingertips or a synthetic sponge, blending until the product disappears into the skin. A little goes a long way—start with less and build only where needed.

• Use sparingly on T-zone and areas with enlarged pores
• Allow a few seconds to set before layering makeup
• Reapply lightly for touch-ups if makeup shifts

Is this primer suitable for different skin types?

The lightweight, smoothing formula suits a broad range of skin types, especially those seeking to reduce shine and refine texture. It benefits oily and combination skin by minimizing pore visibility and controlling oil, while dry skin users may prefer to pair it with a hydrating moisturizer to avoid any potential tightness. Always patch-test if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

• Great for oily and combination skin needing pore control
• Can be used with moisturizer for drier skin types
• Non-greasy finish works well under makeup
