SO lets get into it!!! This is what Benefit  claim about the product off their  website ... The POREfessional: pore minimising makeup covers imperfections without settling into pores or clogging them. The weightless, long-wear formula instantly mattifies and controls excess surface oil for 8 hours*, and contains mushroom extract known to reduce the appearance of pores. *instrumental test on 22 panelists smooth, buildable coverage includes custom pore-blurring sponge 5 POREfect shades **straight

  Finally my (long awaited, or not depending on you) Esteé Lauder Double Wear foundation! So like normal I'll show you what the claims of the foundation are and the my experience with it along with some photos! The foundation claims from their website ( http://www.esteelauder.co.uk/product/631/3894/product-catalog/makeup/double-wear/stay-in-place-makeup-spf-10#/shade/1C0-Shell ) This worry-free, long-wearing makeup stays fresh and looks natural through heat, humidity and nonstop activity.
