Favorite makeup item of all time

Quick Take: light cover up, silky satin to the touch
First, I love Sephora.
Second, I have tried almost every brand and many different products and I'm not paid by anyone to write a review.
I LOVE this product. I mean, I LOVE this product.
I'm a busy mom and sometimes only have time for just a little bit of makeup. I use a sponge, dab this on across the bridge of my nose and upper cheeks (where I have larger pores), along my T zone and my chin, add a little blush, a little mascara and I'm good to go. It evens out my skin, is silky satin to the touch, doesn't need any other product with it and makes me look polished within minutes. I sold a saleswoman at Sephora on the product one day. Try this. I use it JUST on my Tzone. Love it!!!!

Meh
-06.15.13
I really wanted to love this product, but it doesn't do much for my skin. It feels great going on, and it mattifies a bit, but doesn't do anything for the appearance of my pores. I'll try a different brand next time.

Quick Take: mattifier, fast-absorbing
This slurped up the oil in my super oily t-zone. After 6 hours, forehead and chin were still oil-free, and nose needed just a little touch up. I received a sample of this and will definitely purchase a full size. Doesn't oxidize, ball up, irritate, or interfere with the application of tinted moisturizer.

Quick Take: smoothing
I love love love this product. It smooths the skin and makes pores much less visible. I hate hate hate the packaging. It spurts out at times and you cannot use alot of the remaining product when maybe 80% empty. A simply squeeze tube would be MUCH better!! Would be a five star review if the packaging were different.

Absolutely the best

I have tried various brands and Dr. Brandt's pores no more has them all beat hands down.
The product is light, silky and provides superior coverage and flawlessness.
Highly recommend it.

Been using for three years and it's still a great product. Doesn't clog and does what it says. I wear it mostly by itself but when I put in makeup with it my skin just looks great.

Still have those darn pores...
-05.25.13
Quick Take: shine-reducer, primer
Well, the pores are still there. I was hoping for "pores no more," as the name says. This IS a very nice primer, and it lacks the slimy feel of the silicone-based primers I have used before. There is something I do not like about putting a silicone product on my freshly-washed face, so I really do appreciate the fine ingredients of this Brandt pore refiner. I just really wish actually shrank my pores! It DOES, however, do a very good job at reducing shine. And it can be reapplied over makeup throughout the day. Overall, while there are things I do like about it, the product is quite expensive for what it does for my skin.

Maybe a good primer, but it made no difference in refining my pores. I returned it.

Fantastic
-05.11.13
I have been Dr. Brandt's pores no more for years. It is by far the one pre-makeup product that I can't live without. I apply this last before my foundation and it makes my makeup look so smooth and it does make the pores around my nose and cheeks look smaller. This also seems to make my foundation last longer. The only negative is the price but if it makes me happy, I'll cough up the cash:-)

I can't complain. One of the ladies did a make-over on my and used this product. I took a sample to try it out for the next couple of days. I love this product. It really does an amazing job covering my pores.

Amazing Product
-04.29.13
This product will change the way you apply your makeup, forever. Leaves your face visibly smoother instantly, with long term affects of overall radiance and smoothness. I never apply my makeup without this "face perfecting" base. Thank you for making this amazing product I cannot live without!! I have incredibly large pores (in my opinion!) and this smoothes them out seamlessly.
P.S. it's also perfect for those days when all you have time for is a coat of mascara, some blush and a swipe of gloss. A perfect finish every time!!

Quick Take: smoothing & mattifying
This really works as a pore refiner. Also use it during the day to mattify when my t-zone starts to shine. Acts as a primer in minimizing pores. Makeup looks better when I put it on after the pore refiner.

Just okay
-04.26.13
Quick Take: mattifying, pore-refining
This was touted to me as a pore refining mattifier. Despite the tint, it goes on smoothly and matches my skin color. It does reduce the appearance of pores, but I own another product that does a better job. It works fairly well as a mattifier, but it doesn't work to put more on throughout the day, as its labeling suggests. I will continue to search for a good mattifier.

Great stuff, just wish it were clear
-04.20.13
Quick Take: good for anyone with large pores
The Dr. Brandt Skincare "pores no more pores refiner" does exactly what it claims to do. It "mattifies" and "refines" my skin so that my huge pores appear slightly less huge. This product is very easy to use and blends in almost instantly. My only problem with this product is that it is tinted. I'm very happy with the tinted moisturizer that I use (Laura Mercier) and use it on top of serum or any other skin product I use in the morning before I apply make-up. The color of the Dr. Brandt "pores no more" is slightly darker than the tint of the Mercier moisturizer. I don't really need two tinted products and I don't want them to compete, either! So, if this product came in a clear version, I'd be thrilled. As it is, I may try to find another brand of pore refiner that is clear.

-04.13.13
Quick Take: unusual
I haven't been using this product very long, but it is not like the sample I got, or what I thought it would be. It was expensive also. It has a pretty dark tint and it goes on very dry. Pores are diminished, and it claims you can use the product under or over makeup, which is a nice option. I would just go to Sephora and ask a sales person for a sample before you purchase. I didn't know they would do this until my last visit,
