Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer Review

Face Primers. I've learned a lot about face primers this year. There are primers for different skin types (dry skin, oily skin etc). There are primers (water-based, silicone-based primers) that work better with corresponding foundations. I learned this the hard way, while trying the new NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. I initially hated it, because I used the wrong type of primer with the foundation. Now I love it! The wrong primer, will MESS UP your foundation! It will cause it to not adhere, slide, streak and many other ugly things. So that brings me to today's lesson! READ PEOPLE! READ! I heard glorious things about Dr. Brandt's Pores No More Pore Refiner Primer ($45). I ordered it BEFORE I dealt with the whole NARS situation (and learning about primers). My go to primer has been Smashbox and honestly it worked with everything until I got to the new NARS Foundation. So anyway, I applied Dr. Brandt's Pores No More to my face and my face looked really dry. Very matte. Then it started pilling. I was like, WHAT IS GOING ON? I knew it said pore refiner, but my Smashbox does that and I never experienced THIS. Well, you guys....at the bottom of the box it says OILY/COMBINATION SKIN! In the middle of the box it says, ABSORBS OIL MATTIFIES SHINE! Yep! That's what it says! I have super dry skin. This primer does its job, but it's not for my skin type. So anyone with dry skin, stay away from this. LOL It's not a pretty look! Look at my hand below. Yeah, you DO NOT want that look on your face. So I can't rate this, but I thought this review would be helpful. Read everything! LOL Dr. Brandt does have a luminizer primer...NOW! So eventually I will try it and see how it goes. Of course, I will let you know!
