Philosophy The Present Clear Makeup Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used The Present for 2 years.And I'm a *guy*.I am the director of a telecommunications consultancy and spend lots of time at conventions, in front of crowds, etc.I am extremely fair and pseudo natural blonde (blonde up until my 20's when it started getting darker... now it's chemically assisted).

The Present has been my salvation on the show floor, on stage and in front of cameras!And it continues to prove itself every day.

What to expect:
- A little goes a long way.
- You cannot put liquid or creme foundation over top of it.
- You need a really good cleanser before it and to remove it.
- It is *clear* so expect to see your skin under it.
- I find it best described as a "soft focus moisturizer".
- I recommend Philosophy's "Purity" cleanser to remove it.Regular soap doesn't really budge it.
- If you don't start with a pristinely clean face you won't get as good a result.

Why I use it:
1) Evens out my skin texture.I have large pores and patchy skin.
2) Gives my skin a radiant but still matte appearance, even under the most severe convention floor lighting.It's almost like having your face lightly airbrushed.
3) Locks in whatever moisturizer you put under it.It is also a *fantastic* moisturizer itself.
4) Provides a barrier for stage makeup - keeping my pores relatively clean when I have to wear it for camera work.(Yes, the guys on camera absolutely do wear makeup.)

Tips:
- If you have hormone issues, wild and crazy skin or your skin just needs a kick in the pants to get it back into shape, put The Present on in the morning, come home at night and wash your face, then put The Present on and wear it to bed.[My adult acne flareups have disappeared since starting this myself.]
- Use mineral makeup, powder, etc. over top of The Present.Creams and liquids WILL slide off.Philosphy's own "airbrush" foundation works perfectly with it.
- Remember The Present was originally designed to cover vulnerable skin after dermabrasion and acid skin peels.It acts like a second layer of skin.
- Wait for it to dry.2 minutes means 2 minutes.If it isn't drying you should use less or start with a dryer face.
