What makes powder pore primers an appealing choice compared to paste-type primers?

If you’re deciding between powder and cream primers, there are compelling reasons to reach for powder. While cream-based primers are great for filling in uneven skin and provide solid coverage, they can sometimes feel heavy, especially if you have oily or combination skin. Powders, on the other hand, are ultra-lightweight and breathable—blurring pores and controlling shine without adding weight or clogging pores. Their silky texture gives skin a soft-focus effect, making your complexion appear naturally smooth and matte all day long. Powder primers are also easy to reapply for touch-ups, suiting a variety of skin types including sensitive skin. If you want a shine-free, fresh look that feels comfortable and never cakey, powder primers are a smart choice.

(1)While cream-based primers tend to dominate the international market, powder-type pore primers hold a special place in Japan’s beauty scene—and for good reason. Powder primers offer a breathable, matte finish that resists the midday shine, blurring pores without feeling heavy or cakey. Their versatility and gentle touch make them ideal for touch-ups, and because they don’t clog pores, they suit a wide range of skin types—even sensitive ones. Combined with a preference for natural-looking, shine-free complexions, explains why Japanese beauty brands have perfected powder-based pore blurring products that have become cult favourites locally and increasingly sought after worldwide.

(2)Cream-based primers offer excellent coverage by filling in uneven skin texture, they can sometimes feel heavy—especially on oily or combination skin. In contrast, powder pore primers provide a lightweight, breathable finish that blurs pores effortlessly while absorbing excess oil throughout the day. Their silky texture gives skin a soft-focus effect without clogging pores or adding extra weight. Perfect for touch-ups or as a final setting step, these powders keep your complexion looking fresh and matte. If you're after a natural, shine-free finish and long-lasting pore blurring, powder primers are a game-changer.

MAJOLICA MAJORCA Pressed Pore Cover Powder features ultra-fine particles that adhere smoothly to the skin, naturally blurring pores and unevenness. While providing a moist feel, it keeps the skin matte and silky for hours. Its adorable packaging makes it perfect for carrying around. 

Meanwhile, CEZANNE Pore-less Powder maintains its enduring popularity thanks to its excellent value and natural coverage. Infused with sebum-absorbing ingredients, it is especially recommended for those concerned about oiliness or for situations where you won’t have time for touch-ups during the day. Its fragrance-free formula and simple packaging make it easy to use for all ages and genders.

MAJOLICA MAJORCA is recommended for those who prioritize a soft finish and cute aesthetics, while CEZANNE is ideal for those who value cost performance and practicality.

Combining them with an extra primer will bring you even closer to achieving your ideal pore-less skin, which is my absolute favourite combination. By applying Canmake Porel-ess Airy Base as a primer, you can significantly boost your pore coverage. With its airy texture, it adheres smoothly to your skin, evening out uneven pores for a flawless finish. When you layer powder on top, your skin looks perfectly flat, as if pores have vanished. No matter which powder you choose, using this primer first lets you achieve the ultimate pore-less makeup look.
