Brand note
Banila Co is a K-beauty brand best known for its pore-focused complexion primers and setting powders. The Prime Primer Classic is a siliconey blurring primer that fills pores and extends makeup wear without looking cakey, though it needs a generous amount to work. The Prime Primer Finish Powder offers a blurring, mattifying effect but can cling to dry patches and requires careful application to avoid a powdery look. The brand suits those with oily or combo skin who prioritize pore coverage and a matte finish.
