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 .

How do you make your pores smaller. Any home remedies?
There are things called %26#039;aspirin masks%26#039;. You can google it to find a recipe. It%26#039;s supposed to reduce redness %26amp; make pores smaller.|||The simplest thing to remember is to rinse your face with cold water - which opens up your pores. Use your daily facial cleanser. Rinse it off with warm water, which closes up your pores. You will have a hard time finding any remedy closing pores that aren%26#039;t clean. So, using warm water right after you scrub really is the best way. That%26#039;s why you shouldn%26#039;t wash your face in the shower (you need hot and cold water). Also, don%26#039;t glob on the lotion afterwards, it sets in your pores and really glogs them up, without closing them up.|||try queen helene its under 6$ and iv heard it was great ima try it tonight!|||whoever had the first answer, was deranged.
warm water opens up you pores, and cold water closes them?
um, open up your pores with warm water and wash your face, then rinse with cool water, then rub and ice cube over your face until its kinda numb ? and use an oil free moisturizer if you want. or just get cooling toner, it works too.|||oatmeal inside a washcloth run it under warm water and scrub your face with it. this will get rid of the blackhead and help tighten your face up. after scrubbing with the washcloth you can even use clod water to finish the scrub if you like. makes your skin look smooth and shiny

Hi there. Does anyone know how to get rid of open pores?
I have always had them on my face and chest and you can see them when I wear false tan.
Is there any products or things I have to do. Please help?
Sammy xxx|||Well first off, you dont want to close up your pores. You would get breakouts and massively oily skin, which is no fun. What you can do is minimize the appearance of the pores. Use an astringent toner before bed. Wash your face with COLD water (this dialates your pores, making them close up a bit). Try not to use hot water on your face at all. Hot water opens your pores. USe a spray toner during the day, this also %26quot;shrinks%26quot; your pores a bit, so they are less noticable. I also have large pores, I%26#039;m not too worried about them tho- I used a pore shrinking product once, and since my pores closed up, the oil built up under my skin and I looked like I had acne within 2 weeks, it was horrible. Keep in mind that 99% of the time people with large pores also have oily skin- and you don%26#039;t want to trap the oil under your skin!
So, use cold water on your face, especially before false tanning. Use an astringent toner on your face ONLY at night. Use a spray toner during the day, something like Dermalogica%26#039;s Multi Active Toner. (It%26#039;s what I use).
Good luck- and remember- those with large pores usually have oily skin- and those with oily skin tend to have their skin age slower and nicer- yay!|||if you go to boots and look at botanics they have got a clay bottle thingy lol!!! and it is very goood i use it and also if you use elizabeth ardens pore minimizer that is exelllet trust me babe x|||you cant get rid of them but you can make the smaller less visable there are lots of creams and lotions in the chemists!|||if you rub ice over them, they shrink, just as if you run hot water over them they enlarge. There are also many products such as Biore the takes care of that stuff.|||Daily pore toner Clean and Clear|||Ice cubes works.|||Ok, this method really truly deeply works, at least give it a try right now.
Wash your face two times a day, first wash face with HOT water for about 6-8 seconds and then switch to COLD water for about 6-8 seconds too. This helps closes and opens pores to close them for good. I read this in a magazine and i have tried it many times and it works too and prevents oily skin. It opens pores first and then closes them to prevent acne from coming.
Or use Bior Pore skincare products. Visit their website :)
Bior Pore is a skincare product for pores. Reasearch it more and give it a try, you can buy them at wal-mart.|||I have heard that microdermabrasion works on open pores.|||You want open pores if you have closed ones you will get spots and have very greasy skin.. I know as i have very closed pores!|||you can not get rid of pores|||Stop using so much stuff on your skin. You use false tanning products, so basically you are shoving more stuff into your pores so they cant get the chance to %26quot;clear%26quot; themselves. Try using a basic acid wash (you can buy this in any grocery store) use a toner, this may help you as well. But stop putting creams on yourself for awhile.....just for a couple of weeks to let your body rest for awhile.|||I use Black head stuff and it also gets rid of my open pores its called NOXEMA Black head cleanser. works for me.

HELP- really embarrased by a huge pimple on my cheek. 3 pores and the clot keeps repealing. Should I pop it?
I feel embarrassed by it!
Its huge, ugly, and keeps repoping on its own in the morning and after showers. Should i pop it|||Personally I would pop it. Since its to the point that it is. It makes it a really red but it doesnt stick out like a sore thumb anymore once you do and personally i just cant stand seeing them when they get to that gross point? you know? After a few days 2? or so it should be like its not even there. I wouldnt put to much pressure into it though. If you are leaving nail marks in your skin thats probably to much. After you do that i would just wash my face really good and if you have anything like sea breeze? haha i love that stuff on my face. Def helps me. Really seems to clear it up after i do.|||do it till it bleeds like a mothafo!|||If it is white at the top, then yes, pop it. But if it is not white, then DO NOT pop it. That will cause it to bleed and it will get a bit bigger and it will take it longer to go away. Try putting toothpaste on it before you go to sleep. That will make the pimple less red and reduce it%26#039;s size.|||I heard that the toothpaste thing works pretty well too. If it doesn%26#039;t have a white head, and it%26#039;s more rounded try putting some liquid foundation on it so that it%26#039;s not as obvious.
