A Full Review of the Benefit POREfessional Pore Care Collection

One of Benefit Cosmetics' best sellers is the POREfessional Primer, with variants for minimizing pores, mattifying, or hydrating. It’s a personal favorite as it creates a smooth base and you can wear it alone if you just want to get rid of the skincare shine. But I still want to solve as much of my pore issues as possible – visible pores, clogged pores, texture! The new POREfessional Pore Care Collection is developed to help achieve that.

Beauty Battle: Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara vs. L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I like my eyes, but my eyelashes can be a pain. Like the hair on my head, my lashes are naturally rebond-straight, somewhat fine, and do what they want, which usually involves clumping together when curled or after more than one coat of mascara. On top of this, I have an odd eye shape: a tapering eyelid crease creates a “hood” which tends to swallow up my lashes. Because of this, putting on mascara can be a nerve-racking experience, as I’m constantly running the risk of getting product all over my lids.
