This Weekend You Need NYX Pore Filler And Shine Killer

If there are two skin woes we’re forever battling here at STELLAR HQ, they’re an oily t-zone, and pesky open pores. #Grr. We hate that our perfect matte base, always looks shiny (and not in a good way) by lunch time, and let’s not even get started on our borderline obsession with the enlarged pores that are scattered across our cheeks. Magnifying mirrors are not our friends. Sadsies.

It’s not possible to actually reduce the size of pores, but think this make-up goodie does a good job at making them less visible.

Enter the latest duo from NYX Cosmetics, Pore Filler and Shine Killer, €15.99 each. The former fixes our pore problems by reducing their appearance. We use it pre-foundation, and apply it with a duo-fibre brush to achieve the perf base coat. It helps to even out our complexion and hide our open pores, and best of all it’s oil-free (yay!), plus it contains skin-nourishing vitamin E to care for our skin. While it’s not possible to actually reduce the size of your pores, we certainly think this make-up goodie does a good job at making them less visible.

The latter, NYX’s Shine Killer, is our go-to weapon for the war on shine. We reserve this one solely for our t-zone, to mop up any excess oiliness, dotting it along our nose, chin and forehead with a cosmetic sponge. The result? Used in combo, these two products subtly shrink our pores, and mattify our base. No more shine by lunch time, or obsessing over our pores in the mirror. Huzzah!
