Dun dun dun, this is the fourth and final review for Too Faced Blogger Darlings set. I may have broken some record for how many times the words, Too Faced was typed in the span of three days.
Let's take a look at Too Faced's Primed and Poreless Face Skin Smoothing Primer. All Two Faced products have long names.
Product Description From Official Website
What It Is:
Our one-of-a-kind makeup primer was
scientifically formulated to wear under bronzers and foundation powders
or alone to achieve the look of flawless skin without makeup. Vitamins A
& C, Mulberry Extract and a powerful dose of Retinol virtually
banish pores while tired skin is left hydrated, firmer, and detoxified.
Primed & Poreless creates the perfect canvas to allow powders,
bronzers and foundations to airbrush onto the skin seamlessly and
perfectly blended. Skin appears brighter, fresher and younger. Color
stays true and in place all day.
More To Love:
- Erase Pores & Imperfections: Virtually erases pores, softens lines and perfects your complexion leaving skin ready for bronzer, powder, makeup or nothing at all.
- Customized Formula: Provides an airbrushed canvas as it preps skin for bronzers, powder products and liquid foundations. Bronzers glide on without grabbing or looking heavy. Powders float above imperfections. Makeup applies like magic onto skin. Color stays true and in place all day.
- Mulberry Extract & Arctostaphylos UVA URSI: Protect, brighten and lighten skin for a renewed freshness and soothing effect.
- Retinyl Palmitate & Cyclodextrin with CAVAMAX Retinol: Restores moisture, elasticity and suppleness with a powerful combination of anti-wrinkle, youth enhancing, skincare ingredients.
- Camellia Oil & Vitamin A: Essence of the white tea plant and the free radical fighting vitamins are nature’s most powerful antioxidants. Skin looks firmer, brighter and more resilient, even up close.
- Colorless: Great on any skin color! The nude tone becomes invisible once applied.

I love how Too Faced don't test on animals. There aren't a lot of cosmetics companies out there that can say that.
The actual product is a nude beige color that blends right into your skin. Unlike their eye primer, there's no sheen at all. The texture is similar to clear silicon-based face primers but with a slight cream texture and goes on smoothly.
These photos were taken during one session after 10 hours of wear. I wore the primer once on a different day and noticed how well my makeup stayed in place but I wasn't entirely sure how much of it was the primer until I wore it again today. I can confirm that the "flawless" complexion you see in the photos (unshopped at all, not even auto-contrast) is mostly because of Primed & Poreless. My makeup still looks fresh and my skin looks hydrated underneath the makeup.
I've worn other primers where at about 6-7 hours, it starts to visibly degrade as my skin dehydrates and produces oil to compensate. At the 8-10 hours mark, the makeup looks dry and cakey up close where I could take a tissue and blot the foundation off. Mind you, the makeup still held up but compared to what you see here, it's a big difference.
I did use oil blotting paper after these photos were taken in case you were wondering if the primer helps mattify and asbsords oil. I've read a few reviews saying this primer is not suitable for oily skin. I would have to agree with that. While my face feels hydrated throughout the day and my makeup looked fresh on both occassions that I wore it, there is oil buildup that needs to be blotted away.
Not the most attractive thing to show but this was the excess oil on my face after 10 hours.
Tube on the left is Primed & Poreless Skin Smoothing Face Primer. The tube is 0.17 Oz, a deluxe sample size from the Darlings set. The full size is 1 Oz.
Of the entire Too Faced Bloggers Darling set, I am most impressed with this item. There are just no disputes about what it can do for you. If you have normal, combination, combination to dry skin, this is a solid primer choice. Your makeup will stay easily for 8 hours, makeup looking fresh and skin looks hydrated and flawless. Beyond 8 hours, I recommend using blotting paper to absorb excessive oil. The best indicator is if you look shiny and when you press a finger against your face, foundation transfers onto your finger.
I can't recommend the primer for people with oily skin types. Mattefying primers would be needed in this case.
Finally, I wish the sample size was bigger! I am finishing up my Smashbox primer so Two Faced is going to be my main primer until I find a natural primer for daily use. Unless the natural one performs as well as this one, Too Faced will my one primer for those special occassions when I'm trying to get a flawless look.
