Turns out this primer makes a really big difference to your foundation

WOW.

Are you religious about using primer before putting on the rest of your makeup base?

Lots of beauty lovers are but we have to admit we very regularly forget about it or just choose to go without to save time.

It is well worth using, though – a decent primer will not only make your makeup last but also gives your skin a more even finish.

Need any more convincing? Check out this video of a woman using an orange to demonstrate the power of a good primer.

In the video by Youtube’s Look At Me channel, she takes an orange and applies some foundation straight on to one side of it.

She then uses Benefit’s Porefessional to prime the other side of the orange and applies some foundation over it.

The result? The foundation that has been applied over primer looks much smoother than the other side.

I mean, just look.

Porefessional is a bit of a classic product, especially for those of us with oily skin or open pores, so we’re not too surprised to see just how much of an effect it has on the appearance of foundation.

Yeah, we’ll never skip using primer again after watching that.
