I mean, it doesn't last me as long as I'd like, especially for the price. It's gone in like, a month or two... Maybe I'm using too much? I don't know, but my pores all over my face are just so large. I do love the Hard Candy primer, but it doesn't quite give me that silky lovely feeling that porefessional does. You know? I mean, am I using too much? I don't know, haha. The tube is just a lot smaller than it should be for the price... >.<

I use about the size of a pencil eraser on the areas I need (which is only the inner cheek area. It usually spreads pretty evenly. If you use foundation/powder how you apply it has a lot to do with how visible your pores appear. A smaller tube has lasted me more than 2 months but I also don't wear makeup every single day. I at least give myself 1 or 2 days w/o it to let my face rest.

Well, I hardly have the time to use it everyday anyways. >.< And I typically apply my powder with a puff by rolling it on... But maybe it's the way I've been using my foundation? I put it on with a normal foundation brush, and just brush it on willy-nilly, haha.

@Amanda...

<< The tube is just a lot smaller than it should be for the price... >>

You're right; it is. $29 for .75oz = approx. $38.67/ounce. IMO, it's a ripoff.

You may want to try Too Faced Primed and Poreless instead. Similar idea as Benefit Porefessional, but it's $30 for a full ounce. That should last you longer.

Meanwhile, instead of rolling on your powder, try pressing it in.

Amanda here is a good tutorial on applying if you have larger more apparent pores. http://youtu.be/EmZm3vwrF8Q
