Initially, I wasn’t a fan of primers; I didn’t see their necessity. However, after watching numerous YouTube tutorials highlighting the significance of primers for achieving smooth skin and extending the wear of makeup, I decided to give one a try. The Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser caught my eye due to its positive reviews, especially considering my struggle with noticeable pores.
This primer features a clear gel-like consistency. Although it feels slightly greasy upon application, given that it’s silicone-based, a small amount is sufficient to cover the entire face. Once blended into my dry skin, the product no longer feels slippery or oily, making it a suitable choice for those with dry skin.

The primer indeed creates a smooth surface for foundation application, allowing makeup to go on seamlessly, which confirms the claims of skin-smoothing properties. I typically apply this primer to areas with larger pores, particularly my nose and its surrounding area. It effectively fills in these pores, creating a blurred effect that diminishes their visibility. Normally, my foundation tends to settle into these large pores, but with this primer, it avoids that issue.
A little product goes a long way; however, using too much can lead to rolling and result in an unpleasant foundation application. While it doesn’t completely mattify the skin, it gives a mattified appearance. Therefore, its claims regarding shine control may be slightly overstated. Likewise, silicone-based products have previously caused breakouts for me, but thankfully, this primer hasn’t had that adverse effect. Those with oily skin may still appreciate its ability to diminish pore visibility.
From my experience with various drugstore primers, the Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser stands out as the best. This product from the Baby Skin line gives a soft, baby-like complexion with minimized pores. I’ve noticed an improvement in the longevity of my makeup with this primer, even though that’s not its primary claim. It’s often said to be a comparable alternative to the pricier Smashbox Photo Finish Primer. If you want an economical choice, this primer is worth considering. I particularly enjoy using it underneath my Maybelline Fit Me Foundation for a flawless finish.
