Shills Pore Hide & Heal Cream Review

One of my greatest discoveries from Shills (aside from a BB Cream you'll learn about soon) is the Pore Hide & Heel Cream. Although I don't suffer large pores I still can appreciate the flawless finish of my face after using Shills Pore Hide & Heel Cream.


Simply loving this for Summer wear!

Click ahead for a review.

Shills is a Taiwanese brand not available within the US. You can haul it from evil-bay or if you're lucky enough to have a friend abroad they can probably grab it for you!

Shills Pore Hide & Heel Cream is a hard textured cake cream housed in a cute vintage style tin a la Benefit Dr. Feel Good. Sadly, Dr. Feel Good and I never got oh so well so I was every so slightly scared to try this out but turns out it's incredibly different in so many ways when compared to Benefit's version. One key factor is the fact that it's tinted where as Dr. Feel Good is simply transparent.










Where as Benefit's version is a silky primer this is actually a tinted balm. You can use it in a few ways one of which would be to prep your face with it. As a step prior to your regular foundation you can use Pore Hide & Heel as a prep to fill pores and prep skin for foundation. I can't speak for it hiding pores as mine aren't large at all but it does create a near perfect finish for foundation. It's other use would be to smooth on and apply blush for very light Summer coverage. It's not incredibly pigmented but it has enough pigment to cover minor problem areas, even out skin tone, and create a nice flawless, youthful finish to skin.






Although unappealing in the tin the product has a nice silky, cream texture that dries down to a powder. Although it works well at mattifying my skin at the moment I probably won't be able to use in the Winter when my skin is drier as I imagine this will pill or flake up.

It's perfect for throwing in my bag for quickie touch ups on the fly as well so I'm not worrying about applying powder or foundation. Smooth this on with the enclosed sponge applicator, add a little blush and I'm looking collected and in order once again.








Overall, I think it's worthy of a hunt down. It's an all around great product and pretty cheap as well. I paid around $7 but I've seen it around for $12-$13 which I think is a fair price as the product is decent.

Shills Pore Hide & Heal Cream is one of those perfect little makeup treats for creating beautiful, lasting coverage for warm, humid days.

Loves it!
