BATTLE OF THE DUPES #6 (Benefit vs. Maybelline) #DupeJune

I have read that Benefit POREfessional and Maybelline Baby Skin Primers are really similar, some people say they are dupes so I thought I would put them to the test.

My pores are pretty large so I hope both of them work well.

I put a bit of each primer onto a finger each and realised there are some big differences before even putting them onto my face, first of all the primer on the left is the Benefit primer, it's slightly pigments where as the right primer is clear.

So pictures of me I have the Maybelline on the left side but to me it's my right and the Benefit on the right but it's on my left if you get what I am going on about.

Applying the two primers I also noticed they don't feel the same on the skin, Benefit sunk into my skin better, my skin felt funny with the Maybelline primer whereas the Benefit makes my skin feel soft but not like I am layering products on.

Applying foundation over both of them was fine, neither of the primers made any difference to apply the foundation on top.

The rest of my makeup went on perfectly, no difference. The pores were more visible with the Maybelline side whereas the Benefit side are smaller or invisible. 

Nearer to the end of the day I noticed my makeup looked better was the Benefit POREfessional whereas the makeup on the Maybelline side didn't look as fresh or clean looking, the pores were more noticeable.

QUICKEST TO SINK IN: Benefit
BEST LOOKING: Benefit

The winner is Benefit for sure which is annoying because I wanted to find something either equal or better that is cheaper.
