Excess oil coupled with humidity and sweat can make pores look larger than they actually are. Although there is no way to actually shrink the size of your pores, there are products that can help make them looker smaller than they actually are. After all, we are all subscribers of illusions and perceptions.
I don't use makeup or anything close to it (unless it's for Halloween). So I had reticence when I was recommended this at the Clinique counter. The nice French lady assured me that this had no color and it isn't makeup even though it might seem like it. Again, perception.
There were 2 different shades to choose from and I picked the Invisible one which blends quickly into your skin and starts working from there. My skin stayed matt longer and I didn't look like I spent the last 8 hours frying shoe-string fries (which unfortunately for me, is a usual occurrence).
I am digging the fact that it resists sweat and humidity which makes it ideal if you live in a tropical climate. And of course, it doesn't last the whole entire day but there is a visible improvement or lack thereof of shine.
Perfect for those days where you wished your pores would stop being such attention whores.
