Poreless Jelly 24-Hour Blurring Poreless Primer
SUMMARY OF REVIEWS
Maybelline's Poreless Jelly 24-Hour Blurring Poreless Primer has a unique jelly texture that feels cooling and hydrating, and reduces the appearance of pores without peeling. Slashed Beauty notes it blurs less than Smashbox's $35 primer but is a good $10 alternative for oily-combo skin, though she got a little shinier on the primer side. One creator's son could correctly identify which hand had primer, and another calls it a nice-feeling jelly-putty hybrid that deserves more attention.
FULL REVIEWS
POSITIVE
- “The texture of this primer is very interesting because it does have a jelly-like consistency in that it's thin and spreadable, but it also has a soft and silky feel as you spread it across your skin that a typical silicone primer would have, but without the silicone”1:13–1:16
- “I also found it cooling on the skin as I applied it, and I could definitely feel and see the hydration”1:29–1:33
- “I was happy to report that there was zero peeling all week”1:40–1:46
- “I did see a reduction in the appearance of my pores, especially on my nostrils and the cheek area on either side of my nose”2:05–2:10
- “It's not as blurring as say the Smashbox Photo Finish Primer, which I've been using a lot lately because it is so gorgeous. But that's a $35 primer and this is $10”
- “The side that I applied primer on did stay looking much smoother around my texture and acne scarring and just unevenness versus the side that I did not use it on”2:33–2:43
- “I did actually get a little shinier on the primer side, though”2:47–2:51
- “I do think that this is a better option, especially if you have oilier combo skin if you're looking for a best of both worlds primer where you get the blurring, but you also get the moisturizing without adding too much dew”3:07–3:12

- “It's like a jelly and like a poreless putty primer all-in-one. That's kind of cool. Why don't people talk about this more often?”10:48–10:53
