I'm not sure about you, but for me, my most unflattering flaw is huge pores, on my cheeks.. They say, after having a hot shower, splash cold water over your face to close pores, this trick doesn't help too much for me.. To minimize my pores, and make them almost vanish, I use an ice cube over them after having a shower and also before I apply any make up or foundation on my face.. This is an inexpensive way that actually does help close pores :)
