Happy Friday! I was so excited when I saw that Maybelline released the new Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser, and knew I just had to pick it up. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that I just love Baby Lips, so my fingers were crossed that Baby Skin would be just as great. After trying it out, I couldn’t believe how much I liked it, and how similar it is to the Too Faced Primed & Poreless primer that I use every day. Today’s post is going to compare these two primers, and see which one is the best option.
MAYBELLINE BABY SKIN
Price: $6.99 (or $10.43 per oz) [BUY]
TOO FACED PRIMED & PORELESS
Price: $30 [BUY]
SIDE BY SIDE
As you can see from the swatches, the main difference between Baby Skin and Primed & Poreless is the formula. Baby Skin has a clear gel formula, and Primed & Poreless starts out as a nude tone with an almost lotion-like formula that becomes invisible once applied to the skin. Baby Skin is a bit thicker in consistency, but after application both are extremely similar. Are you ready for the results?
Voila! I seriously cannot tell the difference between these two primers! Once applied they both have the same exact smoothing effect on the skin, and both are amazing primers to wear under foundation. I find that both Baby Skin and Primed & Poreless last just as long throughout the day, and my foundation glides over each with ease during application. The only real difference in wear between the two is that Primed & Poreless is definitely better on its own than Baby Skin. Thus, if you’re looking for a primer that you can wear alone on no makeup days, I would recommend Primed & Poreless. Otherwise, Baby Skin is just as amazing as the high end primer I’ve spent a lot of money on!
All in all, I’m so glad I’ve discovered Baby Skin! I still love my Primed & Poreless, but will definitely be reaching for Baby Skin on days that I’m wearing makeup. Thanks to Maybelline for creating an affordable primer at the drugstore! I will be sure to stock up during sale events. Let me know in the comments what your favorite face primer is, and if you’ve tried Baby Skin yet!

I have both, but haven’t used either just yet! Great comparison!
You’ll have to let me know your thoughts when you try them out!
Interesting! Great comparison–love that you included info on wear with foundation and alone 🙂
Of course! I love wearing Primed & Poreless alone!
Thanks for the comparison! I need having more affordable products (you know, so I can splurge on something else, lol).
I understand completely!
the Baby Skin seems a lot like e.l.f. Studio Mineral Primer
Interesting, I’ve never tried that one so I should pick it up!
It’s always great when you find something that works just as well but at such a great price!
Definitely! Goodbye splurge guilt!
I Love Baby Skin!
Me too! So glad it came out!
