MARS Pore Filling Primer | Pore Cure Primer, 30ml

The MARS Pore Filling Primer, oil-control primer that transforms oily, textured skin into a smooth, blurred canvas before foundation goes on. The pore-filling formula settles into visible pores and creates a soft-focus, airbrushed surface. The oil-control component absorbs excess sebum and prevents shine from breaking through for hours.

Together they create the ideal base for any foundation or BB cream: smooth, matte, and grip-ready. Designed for the two most common Indian skin concerns, visible pores and excess oil, in one affordable 30ml formula. Cruelty free. Browse all face primers at Zivanyaa.

1. How do you close open pores with primer?

Primer does not literally close pores, but it fills the visible opening with a formula that creates a smooth surface on top. This makes the pore invisible to the eye and to the touch. Press the primer into pore-prone areas and let it set for 60 seconds. The result is a blurred, poreless appearance that lasts 6 to 8 hours. After priming, sweep the lightweight loose setting powder lightly over the primed face before foundation to lock the blur effect and create an even more seamless foundation application.

2. Is this the best primer for face in India?

At this price with genuine pore filling and oil control in one formula, this primer directly answers the search for best primer for face India with the two functionalities Indian oily skin needs most. The combination of pore blurring and oil absorption in one product at this price is hard to match. For the full primed and glowing face on normal-to-dry skin days, the hydrating dewy primer is the moisture-first alternative for skin types that do not need oil control.

3. How is this different from the Mars Dewy Primer?

The Pore Cure fills pores and controls oil for oily and combination skin with a matte finish. The Dewy Primer adds moisture and creates a glow for dry and normal skin. They serve opposite needs. Many combination skin users buy both and apply each to different zones — Pore Cure on the oily T zone, Dewy Primer on the dry cheek areas. For the eye look above a combination skin primed base, the warm nude eyeshadow palette creates a naturally polished eye look that complements both the matte T zone and the dewy cheeks below.

4. How long does the pore filling effect last?

6 to 8 hours under makeup. Without makeup on top, about 4 to 5 hours before natural oil production starts to fill the pores again. Setting with powder after foundation extends the smooth appearance further. Apply the dome-head powder brush with setting powder after foundation for the most even, smooth powder distribution that locks in the primer's pore-blurring effect longest.

5. Does primer actually make foundation last longer?

Yes, significantly. Foundation on primed skin lasts 4 to 6 hours longer than on unprimed skin. The primer creates a physical grip layer that holds the foundation in place and prevents the sliding, fading, and patchiness that Indian heat and humidity cause on bare skin. For maximum all-day hold on top of this primer, use the lightweight BB cream on casual days when full coverage is not needed — the primed base still gives the BB cream significantly better grip and longevity than on bare skin.
