[PS] I always use SNOW's skin-beautifying effect when taking photos of my face. It's not unprocessed. Unprocessed pores wouldn't show... However, all before and after photos and comparisons with other products were taken under the same conditions. Since this is a review about pores, I'll add a note. ────────────I recently found a hit item. I've tried pore-reducing primers from Canmake and Kokuryudo, but I didn't personally notice any noticeable effect on my pores, so I was hesitant to try other products, even if they claimed to reduce pores. I happened to see a video introducing this on YouTube, so I bought it to try. HABA is a company famous for its squalane. I'd always been conscious of squalane, so I was surprised to see they had an item like this. [HABA Pore-Smoothing Matte Base] 13g, 1,760 yen (tax included). This spot makeup primer is small, about the size of a lip balm. It's a tube type with a large opening, so it pours out a lot, so be careful not to squeeze out too much. It has a skin-colored, mousse-like texture, like the typical pore-concealing product. It doesn't actually stain your skin. Well, for the first time, I felt like my pores were less noticeable! I didn't think there was anything out there that actually made pores disappear. Yes, there are... but of course, there are reviews that say it doesn't. But it worked perfectly for my skin. I wonder why it conceals pores? Is it just me? After skincare, I apply this as the first step in my base makeup. Only on the sides of my nose and cheeks where pores are most noticeable. Then I layer on primer, liquid foundation, and finishing powder. Even after a day, I'm still very satisfied with the finish of my base makeup. The key points are: 1) use it as the first step in your base makeup; 2) it's even better if you apply it from bottom to top for pores on your cheeks. Of all the products I've tried, this one has concealed them the best. It's an absolute best product, and I hope this helps.
