Mattifying AND pores obliterated!
I have dry skin and so wear a heavy emollient moisturiser under my makeup. The only problem with this is that I can appear shiny. I've tried a variety of powders that don't really do the job and just end up making me look a little caked, or even worse, clinging to my dry patches. As I'm getting older, my pores have become a lot more noticeable too, particularly on my forehead which makes them stand out even more as that's where I tend to be the most shiny. I did a lot of research on mattifying powders, pore reducing powders etc before purchasing this one and as I also have a lot of creases around my eyes, some powders just sink into these lines and exacerbate them so I was after something that would target that too.... behold the bye bye pores face powder by IT Cosmetics! I honestly can't recommend this product enough, if, like me you are looking to hide pores, reduce the look of lines/wrinkles and would like to mattify a shiny face! It came in quite a small package so at first I was a little disappointed as it's not the cheapest powder out there. But wow, you really don't need much! In the past I've found that translucent powders can be messy, but this was neat and today. A little dab onto my shiny areas and the area was instantly more matte and my pores? Well they were literally gone! This product promises a lot, but one of them is to 'make your pores disappear' which I can honestly say it did. It also claims to leave your complexion 'smooth and even' which again, I would it definitely does this. Even the claim to create a 'youthful' look is achieved due to the anti ageing formula of peptides, silk and hydrolysed collagen and antioxidants. And finally, unlike the other powders I've tried, this one minimises the appearance of my lines! I'm sure this product will last me a long time too because a little really does go a long way which is a good job, as like I said, it's a rather small little pot....but a mighty pot of magic nevertheless!!
