One thing we all know to be true is that I am utterly obsessed with primers and anything that can help combat my enlarged pores is more than likely to be tested by myself. The newest primer I have been trying is the colossal proportioned Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer, a huger than huge pot of skin softening, optical blurring pre-base product. I am entirely new to the Mally make-up brand which I believe is an American export and the cosmetic offering of celebrity make-up artist Mally Roncal, anyway here is my thoughts on the Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer...
The Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer is a whopping 2.8oz/79.4g which as you can imagine simply has to be stored in a large container of some type. Mally have opted for a bigger than big screw top jar which is rather pretty with its metallic mauve lid but not at all practical for travel. If you do purchase this primer I would recommend sourcing a smaller jar and de-potting a little into it should you travel frequently. For at home use I really don't think the size of the jar will be a problem, it is oddly easy to hold and not as fiddly as smaller containers.
So yes Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer what does it do? Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer contains silicone polymers that not only "fill" fine lines and enlarged pores but also creates a soft, matte base and of course prolong make-up wear. It is non-greasy and almost has a a whipped mousse like quality which glides on to the skin with ease, cooling and blurring imperfections instantly. On the skin it feels lightweight, lightly hydrating and really comfortable, some silicone based primers feel tacky and heavy which is less than ideal for daily use. If you are a fan of Maybelline Baby Skin and the likes of Benefit Porefessional but want something a little more intense in terms of blurring qualities this is a good option. I feel it softens the appearance of my pores slightly better than the aforementioned primers and keeps my skin matte for longer which is always a bonus when you have oily skin. Personally I find that Mally Supersize Perfect Prep Poreless Primer's strengths lie in creating the illusion of softer fine lines and pores rather than prolonging make-up wear but then again I do have rather oily skin. The downside is the size of the jar, even with daily use I highly doubt any regular user would be able to make a dent in the tub before the 24 month expiry date. However if you are a make-up artist this size could be a complete blessing.

Excellent and informative review. I haven't heard of this brand before but as I also have enlarged pores and oily skin it seems like a product that i might need to try out.

I love primers, or to know about them :) So any review on that is really good for me! And yours was excellent! denisesplanet.com
ReplyDeleteJust from the photo the texture looks amazing. Amazing you get so much product but a bit of an overkill! I need something that keeps my make up in place a bit more than this though xx
ReplyDeleteI do love a primer and use one every day but I like to change them up for different make up looks so I doubt with a pot this big I'd even get a quarter of the way through it, maybe if they bought out a smaller sized version I would try it xx

This looks absolutely fab and like you I'm always looking for something that minimizes pores! Silicone primers are my fave, I'm using Rimmel's at the moment but this looks even better, like a mix of that primer and L'Oreal's Skin Perfection serum.

I see this brand all the time on QVC and have been waiting to try something from the line, so this seems perfect! Love the look of the jar and amount of product you get as well.

This is a nice review. Thx!
ReplyDeleteI just uploaded a post about my favourite fall lipbalms. Check it out :) http://paintedrrebl.blogspot.de/
This sounds amazing, but such a large jar is a huge commitment without trying it first! Hopefully I can find a smaller or sample size somewhere!

Thanks for the review, this was beyond helpful! I may just have to give it a go before I dive into the "big mama" size, haha :)
ReplyDeleteThat is one massive jar of primer! I see this on QVC a lot but already have quite a few primers to get through, & wouldn't spend that much on one product!

I LOVE Mally's primer and right now I have two of them in my cabinet so I never run out. Her products are awesome and I swear by her eyeliners.
ReplyDeleteOOH! Anything that blurs out pores is right up my alley. I noticed HauteLook has a bunch of products by this brand on their site right now, what a perfect time for your review to pop up on my feed. I was just wondering what this brand was!
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot about this, EmilyNoel on Youtube swears by it! While the big tub does seem kind of wasteful, I think it would save a lot of money as my primers seem to disappear quite quickly.
