NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pore Filler Blurring Primer — Vegan Matte Pore-Reducing Face Primer, Lightweight 12‑Hour Wear

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Pore Filler Blurring Primer is a vegan, oil- and talc-free face primer designed to visibly smooth skin and reduce the appearance of pores for a matte, long-lasting makeup base.

This lightweight silicone-based primer creates a silky, velvety layer between skin and makeup so foundation, concealer, and powder apply more evenly and stay put. Formulated with pore-blurring polymers and Vitamin E, it mattifies shine without drying or clogging, making it an ideal first step in both everyday and evening makeup routines.

How does this primer minimize the look of pores?

The formula uses film-forming silicones and fine silica to fill uneven texture and soften the appearance of enlarged pores. It creates a smooth canvas that optically blurs imperfections so skin reads more refined in photos and close-up.

• Dimethicone crosspolymer and polymethyl methacrylate for texture evening
• Silica reduces surface shine and diffuses light
• VP/hexadecene copolymer helps create a smooth, long-wearing film

Will this work with oily or combination skin?

Yes — the primer is oil- and talc-free and formulated to control excess shine while maintaining a natural matte finish. It helps makeup adhere without feeling heavy, making it suitable for oil-prone zones like the T-zone or for overall oily skin types.

• Silky, lightweight texture that resists greasiness
• 12-hour smoothing base to extend makeup wear
• Non-comedogenic-feeling ingredients that won’t weigh skin down

How should I use this primer for the best results?

Apply a small amount to clean, moisturized skin only where needed—typically the nose, cheeks, and forehead. Pat or smooth gently; allow a minute for the product to set before layering foundation or concealer for an even finish.

• Use a pea-sized drop for the whole face or targeted dots on problem areas
• Let it dry briefly to form the blur layer before foundation
• Pair with liquid or powder foundations for different coverage outcomes

Is this product cruelty-free and what are the key skin-friendly ingredients?

NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP is PETA-recognized as a cruelty-free brand, and this primer follows that commitment. It includes Vitamin E for smoothing and antioxidant support alongside silicone derivatives that create the blur effect without talc or added oils.

• Vitamin E contributes to skin feel and smoothness
• Key ingredients: dimethicone crosspolymer, silica, dimethicone
• Free from talc and added oils, vegan-friendly formulation

Who is this for: This primer is for anyone aiming to reduce the visible size of pores and create a polished, matte base—especially those with oily or combination skin or anyone seeking longer-lasting foundation wear. It's also a good pick for makeup artists and everyday users who want a smooth canvas without heavy or greasy residue.
