Maybelline Studio Master Redness Control Reviews Summary

Texture and Consistency

Pros:

• "This stuff totally lived up to my expectations!! You can feel the softness of the primer just rubbing it between your fingers.. it goes on so smooth and soft and makes my concealer, foundation, and powder go on so evenly!"
• "It actually blurs my skin and has a clean, weightless silicone-like feel."
• "The texture is so silky and lightweight that it feels like it's melting into the skin."
• "This feels like a light, velvety Vaseline to put on, I use it with a powder foundation and it has a nice blurring effect."
• "Very silky feeling. I can wear with or without makeup."
• "It's creamy yet has some stickiness to it that adheres to the makeup."
• "It goes on light, non-greasy, and all around great."

Cons:

• "I used this before applying makeup and it just felt extremely slick and greasy."
• "It made my skin slick so it was hard to get even coverage over the next step- foundation."
• "This is a thin, clear, watery gel. Doesn’t even come close to providing any coverage to hide pores, and it stays shiny after application which draws more attention."
• "It doesn’t completely erase my pores, but it definitely improves the look of them."
• "This primer has a very oily consistency. It doesn't rub in to your skin at all."
• "This product applies very SLIMY. Not impressed."
• "It legit feels like lube (like for sex) slathered on your face."

Effectiveness and Performance

Pros:

• "The pore eraser is wonderful! I use it on its own without any foundation and I love how it looks and feels on my face."
• "Excellent product, since I have large pores, a small amount does wonders on my skin, and my pores look so much smaller when I apply it."
• "This product works well, very comparable to other higher end brands!"
• "Not only does it do a great job flawlessly smoothing out my makeup, I've noticed a huge difference in the wearability time of my makeup."
• "It’s like putting a pore vanishing filter on your face!"
• "This product does a great job of making everything smaller or disappear all together."
• "It doesn’t clog my pores so I will keep using it."

Cons:

• "I noticed zero difference in pore size compared to the NYX pore minimizer."
• "This a ‘pore eraser?’ This sunk down into my pores. There was no erasing. There was no coverage. Low price, low quality. I do not recommend."
• "When I came to minimizing my pores, not impressed."
• "The chemical composition has changed... Both tubes smelled like superglue."
• "This stuff only minimally reduces the appearance of pores but then immediately clogs them!"
• "It doesn’t cost an arm & a leg either."
• "It is a pore clogging silicone and must be thoroughly removed in order for it to not cause reactions."

Skin Sensitivity and Scent

Pros:

• "I can say it did not mess with the sensitivity of my skin which was a plus, but it is greasy."
• "I have sensitive skin and this doesn't bother it at all."
• "It does not have any scent and it did not irritate my sensitive skin."
• "It doesn’t irritate my sensitive skin, it does some kind of magic hiding pores, and it feels like silk on your skin."
• "I am acne prone but I did not have a breakout."
• "Good product for overly sensitive skin and shrinking appearance of pores."
• "I love this product and it is always sold out every time I go to buy it. I have large pores and it hides them very well without clogging or breaking out my sensitive skin."

Cons:

• "This is a thin, clear, watery gel. Doesn’t even come close to providing any coverage to hide pores, and it stays shiny after application which draws more attention. Horrible purchase."
• "It was greasy all over my skin, and I developed large cystic acne, which I haven't had since puberty or something."
• "Similr texture to anti chafing cream but with a really bad scent."
• "The smell is similar to glue-- gross."
• "It moves around a lot and doesn't stay on the face."
• "I don't know, but I didn't like itThe skin is very oilyIt's just impossible to draw on the faceDoes not smooth out irregularitiesI'm not happy."
• "I developed large cystic acne, which I haven't had since puberty or something."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "You really can't beat this stuff for the price."
• "So inexpensive for such a high quality product."
• "I usually only use 1 of 2 primers...either the Dr. Brandt Pores no More Primer or Cover FX Blurring Primer but we are saving money to move next month and these primers are both pricey."
• "This is SO good. Especially for the price. Fills pores for an airbrushed looked. SAME stuff as arbonne and Youniques primer."
• "The price is unbelievably reasonable, especially compared to so many other brands."
• "Can’t beat the price either."
• "I've tried a lot of primers and this by far is the easiest one."

Cons:

• "I wouldn't waste money on primer again after such an awful experience."
• "This was good except it was expensive for the amount."
• "A waste of money. The product is very runny, and doesn't correct the redness of the skin at all because of it."
• "I've probably tried 9 other primers and only 1 was satisfactory but it's $36, definitely overpriced."
• "Bought in hopes I would use it as a primer but it is anything but! My makeup was sliding off almost instantly, especially on my nose."
• "This stuff definitely does not compare to high dollar primers, but it gets the job done for what it is!"
• "Does have kind of a faint packaging/plasticky smell."
