Hides my HUGE pores
This is my favorite beauty product ever made! It hides my huge pores, keeps down the shine and makes my makeup last longer. I use it as an all over face primer because it makes my skin look so flawless! You only use a small amount, so the tube lasts a very long time. I love that I can dab a little on top of my foundation during the day if I need a touch up and it doesn't disturb my foundation or leave it looking cakey. I actually make sure that I always have two of these on hand because I'm terrified Clinique will stop making it some day and I'll be crushed. — 5 years, 7 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 15 of 15 people said helpful

Minimize those pores
For those of you who have ever used spackle on a wall to fill in a hole made by a nail, you'll understand how this product works. Just imagine that all of the pores on your face are little nail holes and the Clinique Pore Minimizer is the spackle putty you use to fill them all up. This product isn't a permanent solution for enlarged pores though, it only temporarily masks the problem until you wash it off of your face. It doesn't actually contain any treatment for them, so keep that in mind (Clinique has a pore serum from the same line that actually treats them). It comes in a semi-clear thick gel, similar to the color and consistency of Smashbox Photofinish Primer. I apply it to my nose, where my pores are obnoxiously large. I do this after I moisturize but before I put on any powder or make up. It spreads out evenly and feels a little waxy as you put it on but dries and feels baby soft. It doesn't exactly soak into your skin, instead forming an invisible thin layer over your skin. I'd definitely recommend putting at least powder over it because it doesn't hold up well on its own, especially if you have oily skin. Your nose will get shiny pretty quick if you wear it alone. I have not tried it on top of existing make up though, so I can't comment on that. But it does work pretty well, so this product is definitely a must for those with big pores. It doesn't completely make them invisible, but it does get pretty close! One more tip is to make sure you are washing your face really well at the end of the day after you've used this. You don't want all that product sitting in your pores and clogging them up even more. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

A lil pricey, but very effective!
I love this product. It can be used to mop up oil before makeup application, or at any time during the day to freshen the face and diminish shine. Sometimes I use it on my t-zone, before I put my foundation on, but I really love having it with me to help midday shine. I just squeeze some onto my fingers and pat it on my t-zone. It makes my face look really matte and even, instead of cakey or heavy like it does when I keep reapplying powder. I can see this becoming a summer staple in my purse! — 3 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 5 people said helpful
