its all good, i have and use all those, and they work well.|||moisterizer.|||I also have very large pores and have tried everything to minimize them. The only thing I have found to really minimized them is Nourifusion. I use the normal to oily system. I purchase it at www.affordablenaturallife.com


I hope this helps you.|||MAC strobe cream and MAC primer work really good. The strobe cream works to give you a glossy type look and it deflects light to make your pores look smaller. I use the primer after I put on the strobe cream and it works to moistureize and keep foundation even and on all day. Also, I love the primer because you can buy it with an SPF 50 which is great to protect your face!|||Clinique have a great range of products for enlarged pores.

I ran out of some the other day and I thought I go for the new maybelline 16 hour stay perfect one for 拢10 and it is rubbish and doesnt even cover well so I have a brand new bottle of it sat here going to waste as I had to go and get the tesco one as my skin loves it





I have the bottle here so Ill read you what the packet says as it comes in a plastic surrounding as the bottle is glass inside.


It says


Oil Free Foundation, Designed by Barbara Daily for Tesco





A light and silky formula that glides on smoothly for a long lasting, satin finish. contains %26#039;soft-focus complex%26#039; to help minimise skin imperfections. With sun filters SPF 12.





Its great for large pores and goes on that well you can use the amount of foundation to get the coverage you are wanting you will think you have new skin after using this product. Its the only foundation that actually does what it says you have to try it to believe me. I wouldnt wast money on MAC stuff as you clearly explained it doesnt do what it should and I bet you paid a fortune when you can buy for 拢5.75 for a foundation that even contains sun screens .
