Honest review of Banila Co Primer Classic that reduced makeup smudging 🤍

I have combination skin that is closer to dry, and my skin tone is on the yellowish side.

My pores tend to be noticeable, so I always use a primer during the base makeup step. I was curious about the Banila Co Primer Classic because it is so famous.

The formulation is a transparent gel type,
When you dispense it onto your hand, it feels slightly silicone-like, but when applied to the face, it spreads smoothly and feels like it naturally fills in the pores.
It didn't go on thickly but adhered thinly, so there was almost no stuffiness.

The most satisfying aspect of using it was that the foundation definitely clumping was reduced.
If you apply primer before foundation, your skin texture is refined and your makeup applies much more evenly, and
The pores around the nose and cheeks were especially less noticeable.

It didn't cake much over time, and the base stayed relatively clean.

However, since it is not a completely matte primer, I think it would be best for those with oily skin to use a small amount only on the T-zone. I applied a thin layer mainly to my cheeks, and it didn't feel heavy on my skin, allowing for a naturally smooth finish.

It enhances the overall finish of base makeup and is a good primer for daily use, so I would like to recommend it to those looking for a primer to refine their pores.
