Smashbox Pore Vanishing Primer — 1 fl oz Matte, Oil-Free Blurring Base that Controls Shine & Minimizes Pores

Smashbox Pore Vanishing Primer is an oil-free, velvety face primer that blurs pores, controls shine, and helps makeup stay matte and locked in for up to 12 hours.

This lightweight, non-greasy primer creates a soft-focus base that smooths texture and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores without leaving a white cast. Formulated for a broad range of skin tones and types — including sensitive skin — it layers under foundation to extend wear or can be worn alone for a refined, matte look. Vitamin E supports skin comfort while the oil-free formula helps keep excess shine in check.

How does this primer reduce the look of pores?

The primer uses a velvety, blurring base to fill in fine lines and uneven texture so pores appear minimized. It sits on the skin’s surface to create a smoother canvas for application while remaining non-comedogenic so pores aren’t blocked.

• Silky texture fills and blurs visible pores instantly
• Non-clogging, oil-free formula preserves skin balance
• Leaves an even surface for foundation or bare-skin wear

Will this keep my makeup matte all day?

Yes — the primer is formulated to control excess oil and reduce shine, helping makeup stay put and look fresh for extended periods without frequent touch-ups. It works as a gripping base that prevents makeup from sliding or settling into lines.

• Helps makeup adhere for up to 12 hours of wear
• Makes powder or liquid foundations apply more evenly
• Prevents midday shine while maintaining a natural matte finish

Is it suitable for sensitive or different skin tones?

The primer is oil-free and formulated to be gentle on sensitive skin, and its translucent finish avoids any white cast across skin tones. Because it doesn’t rely on heavy pigments, it blends invisibly and works well under a variety of foundation shades.

• Transparent, no-white-cast formula for diverse skin tones
• Non-irritating, lightweight texture for sensitive skin
• Vegan and cruelty-free formulation

How should I use it for best results?

Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, moisturized skin before foundation or wear alone for a refined finish. Gently press and smooth the product over areas with visible texture or shine — common zones are the T-zone, cheeks, and chin.

• Use sparingly; a little spreads widely for full-face coverage
• Layer under foundation for long-lasting wear or wear solo for a matte look
• Reapply a thin layer before touch-ups if needed throughout the day

Who is this for: Smashbox Pore Vanishing Primer is designed for anyone seeking a smoother, matte complexion and longer-lasting makeup — ideal for oily or combination skin, those with visible pores, and people who prefer an oil-free, gentle primer. It’s also a good option if you want a lightweight, vegan, and cruelty-free product that works across a wide range of skin tones without leaving residue.

• Key features: blurs pores, controls shine, locks makeup up to 12 hours
