What’s the one thing every foundation has? A strong base. It doesn’t matter if it’s a home or even just our day-to-day makeup routines. If we’re creating any masterpiece, it starts with a base. With that being said, not all bases are created equal in beauty. Some bases feel too heavy while others don’t do the job promised.
Beauty buffs know that finding the right primer is key to a successful routine and will ensure the rest of our makeup regimen is smooth sailing. So, what’s the right one? So many reviewers say this is the perfect primer to lay the groundwork.

The DHC Clarifying Pore Cover Base is suitable for all skin types, which might just explain why so many reviewers gave this product five stars in their reviews.
Whether oily skin or even combination, this primer was designed with many different skin types in mind but with one goal: Smooth skin. This formula can help to minimize the appearance of large pores, help reduce shine and excess oil. But, before we can even discuss all of the benefits, let’s back up just a bit.
Using this primer is extremely simple. After finishing our daily skincare routine, we’d suggest making this primer the first step in all of our makeup routines. Apply a thin layer of this primer all over our faces. Try not to avoid any places where we have extra shine or enlarged pores because this formula was made for those trouble areas. Instead, spread this primer all over any of those visible pores, shiny areas and problematic T-zones!
This primer was designed to target those super oily or sweaty areas that only get worse as the day goes on. It’s best to think of this primer as the shield and protection our skin needs. When applied properly, our complexions will look naturally matte for hours without any smudges or unwanted smearing. Plus, our makeup will stay in place in the most natural way.

What’s the secret to wearing makeup? It should be that no one knows we are! This primer helps with that cause to ensure we look natural. Plus, there’s no need to worry about that cakey, “powder-like” consistency on our faces after application. It’ll be invisible as ever!
Many reviewers were actually most impressed over the invisible formula. One reviewer loved how it targeted those oily areas and replaced it with a more “natural-looking” glow. Remember, this glow is not to be confused with shine! It will be subtle and even more smooth!
Other reviewers were just as impressed! One reviewer loved how this was their solution to all of those oil-free blotting papers they used far too frequently throughout the day. Another shopper loved how seamlessly this primer worked with BB creams, CC creams and even their foundation. With warmer weather upon us, this would work great as a standalone, too, so we can even ditch any additional steps.
When looking to lay the perfect base for our makeup routine, this five-star-rated primer is the perfect product to start off with!
