To be honest , I have a dry/normal skin type , I have pores on my face , visible regardless of what I use , I will not lie and say this product is amazing , it's good , not a complete cover up though. Applying it feels like you're applying a powder onto your face , then after applying my Smashbox foundation as well , it still did not give a complete cover up look. But , you could see a slight difference , my face looked matte if we had to describe it with an adjective , matte with visible pores, redness wasn't visible AT ALL (I have very fair skin, as in almost pale so i am red constantly ) so , honestly to round it up , redness was reduced , pores were slightly reduced and it created a matte look.
