Covering or Fixing Pores

Is there a way to cover pores? Or to shrink them? Or even a product or primer type of deal that would minimize under makeup?

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque is known to help shrink pores for a lot of people!

And as far as a primer goes...there's a TON out of foundation primers out there, not sure if you are looking for something special? A great cheap drugstore dupe for Smashbox's Photo Finish primer is Monistat Chafing Gel. Sounds weird but it works great!

Like mentioned, I highly recommend Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque. I myself use it, and within the first week and a half, I've noticed that m pores do look alot smaller and its even helped me control the amount of oil my face produces.

As for makeup, try using a primer before applying makeup to help fill in those larger pores.

I have pretty big pores but I have 3 things that I find help the best.

1. I find washing my face really well instantly makes my pores look smaller. I use my skinsonic and My blackheads have been diminishing. The less blackheads I have, the less noticeable my pores are.

2. I LOOOVE the ELF mineral infused face primer. It fills in my pores so what ever makeup I use sits on top, creating a smooth appearance.

3. I use Rimmel's Hide the Blemish concealer. It doesn't matter if I use a primer or if my skin is looking really bad that day, it blends really well and smooths out my pores so it looks like I have none. It's my quick fix. I feel comfortable using just that on my skin. I like trying different makeup but when I'm in a rush or lazy, it's all I need.

I hope that helps!

thank you kelsea :)
i do notice that my pores look better after washing but in the middle of the day is the worst with the heat. All my makeup just kind of sinks into them. But imma try the last two and see if it helps.
thanks

this helped take mine away so that makeup looked so much better
i got this lancome skin corrector
it evens skin tone and shrunk my huge pores (suuper oily annoying skin) and i got it in a cosmetic bag at macy's at lancome for my birthday
is a pretty blue little bottle that has a stick on the cap and you wipe it off the stick with your finger and apply to your face
it has a really pretty scent
my boyfriend also seen that it shrunk my acne pore scars that were connected pores that are deep ..like a crater face kinda thing
because my acne is bacterial acne and when i get pimples ...its multiple pores combined within my big pimples.
i has deep scarred creveses and that shrank them
ive been sooo thankful i got that little tube
...the name of it isss..... (googling it)
i have the little 7mL bottle (which has the stick ..it's like a sample ..i got it for free)
but it's called Lancome Vissionaire Advanced Skin Corrector ...its a blue and silver pump bottle

hi :) i know a great way to instantly shrink pores! mix baking soda and water together to form a paste. then apply it to your face and leave it on for only 60 seconds. then rinse it off with cold water and you will see that your pores have shrunk :)
