I do love a good supersized product and It Cosmetics, have of late, supersized quite a few of their products for QVC, including their CC+ Cream which I shared a few months back. Today sees the turn of the much coveted Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish Airbrush Powder and that too has been supersized for QVC.
As someone with combination oily skin, a eating powder has always been in my stash and over the years I’ve tried quite a few different ones. One brand I hadn’t tried until recently was It Cosmetics, so I was keen to give Bye Bye Pores a try.
Experience your most skin-loving, airbrushed look from our Bye Bye Pores Loose! Developed with skin-experts, Bye Bye Pores Loose finishing powder is designed to blur the appearance of pores and imperfections with Optical Blurring Technology. The universal translucent powder has a silky, skin-perfecting finish, and can be applied throughout the day for on-the-go touch-ups.
As you can see, the It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish Airbrush Powder is a finishing loose powder, one that is translucent with a mattifying finish but that’s not all, it’s job, as the name might suggest, is to blur your pores as well as mask imperfections. To do this, the finishing powder uses Optical Blurring Technology and has been designed with the help of plastic surgeons, which if I am honest just fascinates me.
Bye Bye Pores has a really fine texture to it, it isn’t thick or too light, though once applied it is lightweight in feel. It is also what is termed a ‘universal translucent shade’ meaning that whatever your skin tone, it imparts a silky, skin-perfecting finish and I’ve found it doesn’t oxidise either. If like me, you have combination-oily skin and find the mid-afternoon shine a tad annoying, this powder works incredibly well in place of your blotting papers too!. It can be worn over make up to set your look or it can be used all by itself too, so it is as perfect for those no make-up days as it is for those 'I need a full face' kind of day.
I absolutely love that this is a translucent powder and having worn it both on a bare face and with make-up, it is one of those products that I now cannot imagine being without. With the application, as you can see, this pot comes with a powder-puff for easy application, but you can also use your favourite face brush and I tend to switch between the two. Depending on my day ahead, which more often than not will involve either a Zoom or Teams meeting, I will use this on my whole face if I have applied makeup, or concentrate on my t-zone if I am bare-faced - by which I mean there will be mascara and a tinted moisturiser/serum involved.
The swatch above, which as always is unedited, is just a great loose powder which does exactly as it claims it will do - blurs the pores away and helps deal the shininess of my combination skin.
This particular It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Poreless Finish Airbrush Powder has been supersized and is available from QVC for just £32 for 14g which is an absolute bargain when you can buy the original 6.8g option for £24, so you are getting more than double product for just £8 more.
