The Baby Skin has a cute minty green packaging, and it does look quite similar to the Baby Lips balms.
In the image below, I have put the Baby Skin primer on the right side of my face only, so you can see what effect it has on reducing pores and smoothing the skin. I have also put some of the primer on my finger tip so you can see what the consistency is like:
Please excuse my gross spotty face! As you can see the consistency is very gel like. When I put it on my skin, it feels quite thick at first which I wasn't too pleased about, but when I rubbed it in it did feel more lightweight and smooth. I wouldn't say it made a dramatic effect on the visibility of my pores and smoothness of my skin, but it did feel like my face was primed and ready for makeup.
The Benefit Porefessional has a cute vintage style packaging:
As I did with the Baby Skin, I have put an image below where only the right side of my face has the Porefessional primer on, and there is a swatch of the product so you are able to compare the consistency:
I prefer the consistency of this primer much more than the baby skin. It feels light and smooth straightaway when you apply it to your face, and I think it does do a better job at reducing the visibility of my pores. When I apply this primer, my makeup stays intact much longer than if I didn't wear it, whereas the Baby Skin doesn't make much of a difference on the longevity of my face makeup.
Both primers do their job, but I have to say that the Benefit Porefessional does it better. Due to the price of it however, I reserve it for special occasions, and use the Maybelline Baby Skin as an everyday primer to smooth out my complexion before I apply my makeup.
The Benefit Porefessional retails for around £25 for 22ml and you can get it here:
