How to hide large pores with makeup?

[Nessicle]

Its like a specialist oil for oily skin, like a serum I suppose and it helps to regulate oil on really oily skin. My mum has it as she is like an oil slick and she really likes it. She uses it after cleansing and skips moisturiser

No it's some kind of special oil which u put on your face like a normal cream in the evening. At the beginning it makes u feel strange to have such oily thing on your skin but then in dissapear and in the morning skin is so fresh and soft.

I noticed that after using for longer pores became smaller !!

Hi,

Has anyone checked out the skin care board?:icon_ques There should be some suggestions over there with regards to this problem. You may need to resolve the problem from the skincare side rather than using primers or makeup.

Try Estee Lauder Max Cover Foundation instead - it works much better than the Double Wear. I tried Double Wear & it seemed to fade fast, and felt greasy. The Max Cover is very light weight and high pigmented, it sweeps on right over pores and hides them (and every other imperfection) very effectively. Also, a great primer to use is Mattify! Loose Powder. I discovered this online about a year ago and it’s a definite face-saver!! Actually, their website (mattifycosmetics.com) was where I also discovered the suggestion for Max Cover Foundation. I have super oily skin & the combination of Max Cover & Mattify Powder are the only two things that will keep pores hidden & stop all the greasiness. The Max Cover retails for about $30 bucks – and is WELL worth the price – and the Mattify Powder retails for around $8 – again, SO worth the cost! I’ve also tried the Smashbox Primer – worked horribly on my oily skin. It made my face oilier than ever, so if you have large pores and oilies, go with using the Mattify Powder as a primer before foundation application & then again after foundation as a setting powder. That’s what I use ever morning & have beautiful, long lasting results.

Go get a facial or use a face mask. What really helped me was pore minimizer serum from clarins, or try other brands you like.

I've tried many different products including Idealist which was pleasant but not very effective, so my number one by far is "l'oreal studio secrets magic perfecting base" which creates a super-smooth texture, and the pores compeletely disappear once you apply your favourite compact on top (mine is CD's compact: Diorskin Nude 020)

I am having the same problem with larger pores also. One reason I know I am getting them is I am getting older.

I have been researching the problem with pores for a while and it seems like the problem with have larger pores is the dirt/oils that build up in the pores and needs to be removed. From what else I have read, you also need to use something like glycolic or salicylic acid on your face to help with pores. Also I don't think you can ever reduce pore size, but you can make them look smaller by cleaning your face well and by using products with those acids in them. Here is a video from youtube I found from a supposed derm doctor who explains pores and what to do to help reduce them. He does try to sell his products by giving you a link to his website, but he also tells you other items you can use that will help. Here is link to the video.YouTube - What Causes and Minimizes Enlarged Pores

Also I have been dying to try this mask by Burt's Bees called Pore Refining Mask. I stumbled across this on the internet looking for help on my pores LOL. It gets excellent reviews so if some tries it let me know if it works! Here is the link! Pore Refining Mask - Burt's Bees

Hopefully this will help some of you out!

I was told by the skin person at the day spa on a Princess liner that using lemon juice on your face once per week for 3 minutes (up to 5 min if you can take it) will exfoliate and shrink pores
