A good primer is a game changer. Even if you don’t need it to make your foundation or other complexion products look seamless, it can help your makeup last longer and through difficult (sweaty, humid, etc) conditions. A primer can also help neutralize things like oiliness and redness ( banes of my existence!), and one such imperfection-blurring, wear-extending primer comes from Dermablend, a Lily Tomlin-used brand that’s worth checking out ASAP.

The Poresaver Matte Makeup Primer is supposed to do pretty much what its name infers. It’s an oil-reducing, non-comedogenic, pore-minimizing, wear-extending (the brand says your makeup will last 24 hours), skin-smoothing base for your makeup. According to the brand, it’s also supposedly multi-use; it can be worn on bare skin, as the base for makeup, and even mixed in with foundation. And if the nearly 500 five-star ratings across its website and Amazon are any indication, it actually works.

This Dermablend primer is formulated with just six ingredients, none of which are easy to pronounce or spell, so I’ll keep it brief and simply highlight Dimethicone. It’s a pretty common ingredient in makeup products thanks to the way it retains moisture and fills in unevenness like wrinkles or scars. It’s a major reason why using Poresaver Matte Makeup Primer will help your skin have a smooth and even finish.

A reviewer in their late 40s had a laundry list of praise to shower on this Dermablend primer. “It blurs pores and makes my skin soft and smooth,” they wrote. Plus, on top of being a “wonderful base for makeup,” they said it works on its own as a pore minimizer. A 60-year-old Amazon shopper said this “decreases the appearance of wrinkles,” and “helps [their] skin look much younger.”

Head to Dermablend to shop its Poresaver Matte Makeup Primer. It sounds like it’ll be just the thing your makeup needs to survive this spring and summer.
