Just Like Photoshop: Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup

It's been half a month since I had my last acne surgery. It's been 15 days of stress, redness, itching and peeling. Here's a quick snap of my forehead (click) and lip area (click). I almost forgot how difficult it is to have skin this troubled and demanding of TLC! :(

While I haven't healed through and through yet, with my dermatologist's advise, I can wear makeup occasionally (*confetti*). It's good that she mentioned I can wear products from Clinique and VMV Hypoallergenics because I have a ready stash. :)


Since December, prior to meeting Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation, I've been using Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup (what a mouthful!). It's supposed to give me a "virtually poreless look today, tomorrow". It's oil-free and very lightweight, designed for individuals with dry, combination and oily skin. I'm using the shade Cream Beige which perfectly fits my slightly tanned, medium golden complexion.

I like this foundation a lot for plenty of reasons beginning with zero breakouts encountered and its longevity and finish throughout the day. It gives me the perfect moderate, naturally-matte coverage I've always been gunning for. I would like to think that this foundation works like a photo editor for my skin because whenever I use it, people always stare asking me why I look unbelievably well-rested. :) For something so good, it's also very reasonably priced at Php 1850 for a 30ml plastic bottle.


Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Instant Perfecting Makeup is available in Clinique counters nationwide and through www.clinique.com.

    I have oily and acne prone skin. Would this be a better option for me than urban decay naked skin foundation?

    That's a tough one! If you have the tendency to have zits often, I would go for his one. This is lighter in terms of weight and feel over UD Naked if you're looking for something to use on a daily basis. If you need extra coverage every so often, go ahead and try UD Naked.

    Hope this helps!
