Bye Bye Pores Pressed

I'm not going to give this less than five stars because I haven't tried it but I feel that it's important to note that for some reason there is BHT in the ingredients list -- WHAT? I have never seen BHT in makeup, ever. The loose version of this powder does NOT contain BHT and is beautiful so I would recommend that one instead. Just a not!

I want to try this powder, but as another commenter mentioned - there shouldn't be BHT in this. It's a pretty controversial ingredient with studies showing it's just not healthy for skin. Also, there are too many palmitates in this formula...palmitates are photo and cyto toxic and cause skin aging. Remove these ingredients with no consequence to the overall formula, and it's a winner.

I'm always really picky about any powders that I use because I am terrified of looking cakey or the powder settling into fine lines. This powder does exactly what it promises without adding a heavy layer over your foundation. I tried it in every lighting imaginable and it is completely undetectable. I also did a flash test with my camera to see if there would be white splotches which tends to happen with a great deal of setting powders and this passed with flying colors. I use a simple human LED mirror to apply my makeup, which shows EVERY pore and line on my face with a 5x magnification. It was amazing to see my pores disappear so quickly upon application of this amazing powder. Love it!

Ok, seriously. I didn't really believe the reviews saying this magical powder could magically make pores disappear ... but it does. I don't understand the magical power of this powder but I use it to set my under eyes and my face if needed -mind you, I have dry skin so usually I avoid powders- and this one made my face look flawless, pores are BYE BYE and my makeup lasts forever without caking or looking dull.

You need to buy this. Your family needs to buy this. Your relatives and grandparents need to buy this.

You can thank me later once you try it.

This pressed powder which claims to to make your pores disappear actually does just that. I have very dry to combination skin and I have large pores on the apples and high points of my cheeks. This worked great in my situation and completely made my pores blurred out. The powder is dry to the touch but does not dry my skin out. It reminds me of the consistency of the Nars Crystal Powder. This goes into my top 20 products that work without interfering with other cosmetics.

I tried this as soon as I got it! I have big pores on my cheeks closer to my nose and whenever I wear foundation you can still see them. Put this ByeByePores over top and they practically vanished! You could still see a couple mind you, but that's not a big deal. This this product so much and recommend it to everyone!!

I prefer the loose powder version, this arrived so cracked and couldn't use it :( though I do love everything IT comestics! I have nothing to say more but my review won't post till I reach 30 words or more :S ....................

This powder is beautiful. It looks great on the skin, and does not cake up at all. Very subtle. It takes away shine very well, but does not actually keep you matte all that long. I do have to reapply on my T zone a few times during the day. This powder works very well when setting undereye concealer though! As far as it's claims on pores...No. I don't find it blurs my pores at all. But it doesn't enhance texture or dry out my skin, so it's the best powder I own for everyday use. Also, it looks great on camera!

I've always had to put on quite an amount of concealer under my eyes because I suffer from hereditary dark circles. I've tried many powders to set my under eyes in the past, loose and pressed, and only this powder can truly mask the fact that I have tons of concealer underneath. It doesn't look crepey or powdery and the blurring effect is very prominent. It is truly translucent and the most important thing is that it doesn't darken your concealer like some powders do. My favourite way to apply this is to use my beautyblender to really press the powder into the skin. If you're looking for an oil controlling powder then this might not be your thing, I have oily skin but I don't like to powder myself until I'm completely matte so I don't have a problem with applying this to other areas of my face.

This product is truly amazing! I gasped when I first used it. I was so impressed. I was worried when I first purchased because I have dry skin and wasn't sure if it would settle into lines or dry spots. Nope, not at all. It blurs lines/wrinkles and just makes my face look flawless (which trust me, its not...) I think this would be a MUST to anyones daily make up routine.

*I apply with a big powder brush *I dust lightly on bottoms of my cheeks (near jaw line), chin, nose and middle of forehead. (pretty much on entire face but I do not dust under my eyes - I use a different setting powder for that) *I don't use any other powder during the rest of the day but this.. This goes in my purse for the day. I use the sponge applicator to apply if needed when I am out.

Oh, and side note - It does not reflect too much light where you look ghostly in pictures.
