When I was a teenager, I was a big fan of translucent powder. But now that I’m a little older, I prefer makeup that’s lighter and more radiant—partly to diffuse fine lines, but also because I can’t really be bothered with 101 steps.
I discovered Mally Beauty’s Poreless Face Defender on Instagram, and the results quite impressed me. Its utterly sheer, lightweight formula instantly diffuses the look of pores and fine lines, and helps protect your makeup so it lasts from morning to night.
What the Brand Says:
Mally’s Face Defender is the celebrity secret weapon! This high-tech alternative to powder can be used as a primer, finishing touch to lock in your makeup or worn alone as a skin perfecter.
I have become a huge fan of this product because it really helps to mattify and lock in my makeup. An alternative to face powder, this multi-tasking formula works as a primer too. I apply this on days when I wear makeup or I don’t wear any makeup at all because it makes my skin look so much better with its pore-blurring abilities. I also use this to freshen up my makeup throughout the day focusing on my oily areas.
Honestly, this innovative product gave me what can only be described as extremely smooth skin. I think the secret was in my application, but I loved the way the product gave me soft, matte coverage without flattening my skin.
How to Use It
If you are using this as a primer, lightly dab the sponge in the product, not swipe and then lightly dab it on your trouble areas. Allow product to set before makeup application.
If you are using this to lock in makeup, tap the included sponge onto product and gently pat it to any area you want extra setting power or reduce shine. Apply as needed throughout the day.

It was my very first time trying out the Mally Beauty cosmetic brand, and I am very impressed with the quality of their products! As a beauty expert I have tried many different primers from different makeup brands across the globe. This Poreless Face Defender by Mally is one of my new favorites! I love this primer because it’s not powder and doesn’t make my face look all powdery or cakey after applying, mess free too! It feels very lightweight, comfortable, and breathable through my skin, and perfectly smoothes out fine wrinkles and pores without feeling clogged. It gives a nice soft natural look, and very easy to layer other makeup products on top right after application! I love how it can also be used again to lock up the makeup look to last longer throughout the day. The pink packaging is so pretty, amazing!

I like the idea of the Poreless Face defender. I dont view it as a primer or a finishing product after foundation and powder. For me, I do tend to get a bit oily as the day progresses, so it can be helpful for absorption, but not to give an overly Matte appearance. I am curious as to how this product meshes with my stick foundations. Overall, I think this product is very unique compared to the powder alternative to pores. I like that it is clear and the feel of it is lightweight. I feel it will be beneficial to the pores because it won’t clog or create more issues for those who suffer from large pores. It can also assist with using less foundation to cover or fill in large pores as well, that can in most cases lead to break outs. The clearness of the product does not limit its use to everyone of all shades. This product is handheld, compact and equipped with a mirror! We love a mirror. Super fun, and great for the ‘On the go’ girl!

It feels like there are endless ways to use this Poreless Face Defender by Mally Beauty. As someone that struggles with large pores (especially in my t-zone), this product felt revolutionary. It was so much fun trying this silky pore filling product at different times during my makeup routine. I truly loved using this as a primer and soft sponge to prep and smooth over my fine lines and creases before applying my makeup. I also loved tapping this onto my face after applying my makeup to create a flawless airbrushed finish. If you struggle with taking close up photos of your finished makeup because of skin texture, this product will be your lifesaver. On camera (and in person) it gives a nice smooth finish that is photo worthy.
