velvety feel creates a matte effect and reduces the appearance of pores and wrinkles [SEP] this product has been a must have since i discovered it when i received my first bottle i applied to half of my face to see if it made a difference and it really does in terms of minimizing the appearance of fine lines and pores by creating a matte like foundation when the bottle is approaching empty the product gets crumbly and i tend to discard the bottle before it is completely empty which is a shame a couple of tips i have learned about using this product when spreading the product on your face spread in the direction that your peach fuzz facial hairs grow keep it away from your brows as it will look crumbly and flaky like eyebrow dandruff if it gets into them otherwise it is great and i often use it with no other makeup
