As a professional MUA with rosacea-prone skin, let me confess something: I used to gatekeep primer for weddings and photoshoots only. But lately? I’ve made it part of my daily routine—yes, even under my medium-coverage foundation—and my pores have never looked better. Here’s the thing: persistent pores don’t care if it’s Monday or your birthday. I used to rely on Shiseido’s blurring primer (still iconic), but I recently tested E.L.F.’s Poreless Putty liquid version and the blue hydrating pump—and I was shocked. The hydrating one? Rosacea-friendly. Lightweight. No pilling. No breakouts. And my skin actually felt soothed under makeup. For those who can’t use retinol or acids (same, thanks to my rosacea), pairing niacinamide with a daily primer is a gentle, effective alternative. Bonus: your foundation glides on like a dream and doesn’t sink into your pores by 3 p.m. So no—using primer every day isn’t overkill. It’s glow-up insurance. What are your holy grail primers for textured or sensitive skin? I’m always down to try your favorites. 💬💄 #PoreBlurringSecrets #RosaceaFriendlyMakeup #PrimerEveryday #MakeupForTexture #ELFvsShiseido #MakeupTips #SensitiveSkinApproved #MediumCoverageRoutine
