Maybelline Babyskin Primer Review!

So to kick off the new year I have a review! I recently went to the grocery store and decided to browse their beauty section, which was surprising diverse and large, and found Maybelline's Babyskin. I previously used Babylips so I figured the primer was worth a try.


Babyskin had been sold overseas for some time and had been getting great reviews. It claims that it will make pores less noticeable by blurring them. It can be used under foundation for a smoother finish or alone on no makeup days to make skin look smoother.

On the left is part of my cheek just washed and with some moisturizer. I was lucky though to have a pimple to use as a landmark, lol. On the right is the same area with Babyskin on it. Notice how much smoother the skin looks. It really does blur the pores as well as those tiny hairs. I also think it helped with some redness, but that could just be me. I did find I had to use more than I have with other primers. 

In retrospect, I should have done comparison pictures of my foundation with Babyskin and without, however, that slipped my mind. The left photo is the same photo as above with Babyskin on it. The right is with my foundation. 

Overall, I believe this was a good purchase. I bought this for $5.99 at a grocery store. 

Pros:

* Seems to blur pores, blemishes, and hair
* Goes on smooth
* Cheap (bought mine at Giant Eagle for $5.99)
* Smoother foundation application
* I wasn't quite as oily in my nose area, compared to when I don't wear a primer.

Cons:

* Had to use more than I would my other primers. 


Thanks for reading!
