I am dreaming wedding (details here) while you read Kamilla's insightful review about the Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfector...
________________________________________________
Clinique Pore Refining Instant
Perfector minimizes the appearance of pores for a smooth and virtually
flawless look. It is best used with finger-dotting technique and blended
over pores alone, over or under makeup for touch-ups. In my experience, this
perfector works best over liquid makeup, bb cream, or concealer. The mattifying
effect is great for shiny t-zones, and gives my skin a smooth, even look.
Overall, it lasts for many hours, and I don’t have to worry about blotting my
t-zone. The pores disappear immediately. The result will be a matte, evened out
skin tone with an airbrushed effect. However, this effect is only temporary,
and the formulation is not an actual serum or a treatment. The key is to use a
small amount, and not to overdo it, as the build-up could cause flakiness and
easily rub off.
Formulas available:
- Invisible Bright - for subtle brightening
- Invisible Light - for lighter skintones
- Invisible Deep - for darker skintones
Product claim: This complexion perfector makes pores appear smaller,
