@makena  "Cones" is the slang term for silicones used in makeup or primers. They clog your pores; they can cause cystic acne; they can make you itch like mad and when there are multiple ones in a product, it ain't good.


Ohhhh.  Ewwwww.  I'm guessing if they fill your pores that would result in the blurred look.  I don't know if I ever used a skin produce with silicones.  I'm not on the up and up with ingredients.

@makenaThe vast majority of primers or anything that "blurs" fine lines consist of silicone. That very silky smooth sensation of a product when you apply it to your skin is due to silicones. Many love them. My skin doesn't have a problem with them but they are a known ingredient for causing skin issues for the majority of people; that's why I always raise an eyebrow when a line by a doctor contains them- they should know better.
