Battle of the Brands: Benefit vs Maybelline Pore Erasers

Two proclaiming they're extraordinary, how will a girl ever choose? 

  Benefit                    vs                Maybelline

Both claim to diminish the look of pores.

. 

     Benefit's the POREfessional   

Benefit's the POREfessional works best when patted on to fill pores. It has a light pleasant scent, is silky in texture and is slightly tinted

   Before                     After         

    Honestly, I do not see a difference in pore size from left to right.   

Maybelline Baby Skin

Since Maybelline's Baby Skin blurs it is best to smooth over pores. It is translucent, offers a silicone like texture and is pleasant smelling as well.

 Before               After

Again, I do not see much of a difference between these two.

Maybelline           Benefit

Can you tell the difference between the two?

after 8 hours:

 Maybelline              Benefit

      I would say the two held up about the same, though the baby skin did leave me a little greasy.

 Similar Pro's:

  enjoyable scent

Similar Con's:

doesn't eliminate the look of pores

doesn't make foundation last longer

Neither of these really made my pores appear smaller like they claimed, and my foundation didn't last any longer than usual.

I made a choice... 

BREAK UP 

(with both)

Do either of these work better for you? Tell me your thoughts!
