Every makeup artist knows a good primer goes a long way. This product is absolutely amazing, it evenly blurs pores, gives the perfect balance of not overly dry skin and not too oily either. Its light weight, which is great for me because I use a great number of product when applying makeup so I don't need another weighing in on my skin. Overall, great product.

I love how soft my skin feels after applying it. My foundation also applies well with the primer. I feel it makes me oily which is the only downside of this primer for me.

I feel like this primer is a more affordable version of the Benefit Porefessional and I really like how it feels on my skin. It's really light and works well with all the foundations I've paired it with. It does a decent job at hiding pores and smooths put your skin for the perfect base to apply the rest of your makeup.

My skin is very oily and I was promised that this product would help me with that. They lied. Yes it hides your pores but on me it didn't last very long and even seemed to make me seem even oilier (or it may have been my imagination). I would recommend to someone with less oilier skin though, I feel like it would work better on a different kind of skin type.

Anybody who wears make-up will tell you that the secret to great looking make-up is based on the state of your ''base''. This lightweight pore remover works wonders and can be used alone or before you apply your foundation/bb cream. It smells great and makes your skin appear refined, smooth and pore-less. This is a definite must-buy and it is affordable at the same time. It has a velvety texture and absorbs into your skin with ease.

A little definitely goes a long way with this primer. I have dry skin so using the Baby Skin helps my makeup glide on a lot smoother. With it, my foundation and concealer is less likely to cling to dry patches on my face. I notice that it does increase the longevity of my makeup. I recently came back from a trip to India where I was using the primer everyday. It kept my makeup on lock-down, my face looked as fresh at the end of the day as it did when I applied my makeup in the morning!
I love the packaging, it's so cute. Easy to pop in your makeup bag on the go!
A word of caution: if you have oily skin and are prone to acne, this may not be the primer for your. It adds an extra layer of slickness which you could probably do without.

Well i've got mixed feelings about this amazing product. I have to say that it feels great on the skin and after you applied it your skin feels like silk, but....... I find that because of its almost oily creamy gel feeling it tends to make my foundation crease more and move a bit on my face. Which is a huge thumbs up for pores but a bit of a bummer for fine lines. As you can clearly see on my pics that it does make a huge difference with pores and fine lines. I'm going to try and apply it and give some time to settle before I apply my foundation and will update on if there is a difference or not. I also found (and fingers cross i;m going to test it a few more times to make 100% before I pack it away) that it give me a bit of a break out after using it for a week or two.
I will advice this for younger skin that just need that bit of porcelain touch, the feel of it on your skin is enough to make you want to use it again and again and again.
So in the general its a good product!
......CONTINUED....
OK I'm back and I did what I said to apply it and give it proper time (15 min) to settle on my skin before I started putting my makeup on and SO FAR SO GOOD.
My makeup look just the same than it did yesterday when I didn't use it soooo as for the making my makeup move on my face, that's not the case any more. As for the am my skin looking that much better with it on .... uhmmm maybe a bit yes.

The Baby Skin Pore Eraser is a lifesaver if you have huge pores like me. My pores have always been a problem, as it makes it look as if I have holes in my face. If applied over moisturizer it leaves a great flawless finish. I do find however that the texture is a bit funny in my opinion and often feels drying which is why I have to wear moisturizer. Other than that, I could not fault it.

When I say “Baby Skin”, you may never understand my excitement when I found out this “much raved’ about primer was hitting South African shores. In fact, I stalked my local Foschini until they had received stock, and then bought the first two primers I could get my hands on. Like any other blogger, I rushed home, admired the packaging for a few good minutes, and then went straight to testing out the primer.
I’m going to start off my review by talking about the packaging, because who doesn’t love a product with a pretty cool packaging? I loved the teal and turquoise packaging with the hot pink writing, it catches my attention as soon as I glance at the product. The packaging is quite sturdy, and I especially love the screw on cap, so there is no spillage if you’re travelling around. I do believe that overseas, the Baby Skin tube is packaged in a cardboard and plastic packaging, I would have really appreciated that in South Africa, so I know the product I’ve purchased hasn’t been tampered with in stores.
The Baby Skin tube labels this primer as an “instant pore eraser”, the tube also states that baby skin is a lightweight primer, for smooth, poreless looking skin and that the primer is only for adults. I was a little surprised, because this primer didn’t really state whether it was for any specific skin type, plus there isn’t much information available on the packaging about the product, but since everybody raved about this product, I really wanted to try it out.
After testing out the product on my hand, I was amazed, this primer felt velvety soft and smooth on the back of my hand, which made me even more excited to try it out. The first day I tried out the primer, I wore it with a full face of make up, I applied a pea sized about of primer to my moisturised face, and gave it a few minutes to settle in and then applied my make up, my make up applied like a dream, it looked flawless in the pictures, which got me really excited because I thought I found my Holy Grail primer, until a few hours after applying my skin looked really oily, like past trying to save with translucent powder oily. YIKES!
I tired to remain as calm as possible and be positive, maybe it was just too much make up for my primer to handle (said no woman ever), I tried it a few days later with just regular BB cream and some powder, but nope, still looking like I left the house with oil on my face. I was beginning to get disappointed because maybe this primer just wasn’t cut out for me. I have oily skin, well combination skin to be exact, and this primer made my skin look plain down too oily to deal with.
Don’t get me wrong, this primer is a really powerful primer, it leaves skin feeling soft and smooth, with a well moisturised feeling, it also blurrs imperfections on skin, making skin appear flawless and “smooth - looking”, plus it is a perfect canvas for make up, as make up glides on, but it is really NOT cut out for oily skin, I really tried to work around the primer, but I couldn’t. It just isn’t meant for combination/oily skin.
So would I recommend Maybelline Baby Skin? Yes I would, ONLY if you have dry skin, if you have combination or oily skin, I really wouldn’t recommend this primer because you’ll just be left with more of an oily look than you can really handle. The Maybelline Baby Skin retails for R89 and is available at Foschini, Dis-Chem and Clicks.

Maybelline BabySkin was a very raved product among bloggers and Youtube beauty gurus but I was sadly unimpressed with this product.
It has a very thick consistency that is clear. When applied to the skin, it does not erase the pores but rather reduces them by filling them in. It has a lovely silky texture when applied due to its silicon base. It comes in a tube as seen in the picture above and is R89,95 (I bought mine from Dischem) It is abit pricey especially when there are cheaper dupes on the market hence me being unimpressed (Dupe example: the Palladio Herbal Primer which is slightly cheaper and same texture)
In terms of the product, it did help the make up glide easier as it gave a smooth canvas to work with but it didn't help with my make-up longevity , so I basically questioned the purpose of it.
I would not recommend people with very oily skin to use it . You might want to try it with drier skin but for me (combo skin), it didn't work wonders.

Everyone raved so about this primer that i had to go out and get one but honestly i am not too impressed, i find it to be too oily for me and it actually makes my makeup slip around a bit (probably cause of the oilyness) I think maybe better suited for people with dry skin that can handle the richness of it. The product feels good on skin and goes on silky and soft with a typical silicone primer feel. but then i find it settles quickly to a oily layer. Also i kind of expected the tube to be a bit bigger.The packaging is pretty tho and the price is good and im sure i will try using it again when my skin is dry and can deal with it

This was my go-to primer for about a year and I am SO happy that it is finally available locally. I love it for help filling in creases and fine lines on my face (works especially well on my forehead) but I don't notice it helping the longevity of my make-up. It works really well for the price but you may prefer to spend a bit more money on a primer which helps make-up last longer.

I bought this online as it was not available here at the time.
Using this product gave me EXTREME De Ja Vu to that time I bought a Primer from Woolworths - it was the EXACT same feel to it.
Baby Skin has a bit of a chemically smell but works exactly the same. (probably because its silicone based?)
It blends easily leaves a matte finish and provides the perfect base to apply your make up -

The Maybelline Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser is a silicon-based primer, super lightweight and feels great on the skin. This was the first primer I ever purchased and I used it religiously until I squeezed the tube dry. It's a great affordable solution to achieving smooth skin and is perfect to use under a BB cream or lightweight foundation. It still remains my go-to primer when travelling.
