Smoothing

This product does what it says, very smoothing and I do feel helps my makeup to last on my problem areas, especially around my nose and on the tip of my nose. It is a small tube but a little goes a long way.

It works!

this was recommended to me by an SA when I asked for something that could minimize the pores on my nose and actually allow makeup to look decent in that area. She warned me that a little goes a long way and she was right - I have to use the littlest amount over tacky skin and it works perfectly. Great product!
