If you also suffer from enlarged pores and tired-looking skin, you can surely make them look smaller with a proper skin care regimen and a few makeup techniques. Let’s see how we can make Pores look Smaller with Makeup.
With the right products you can make your pores look like they’ve disappeared.
Choose skin care and makeup that’s suitable for your skin type. You must use products that are designed to help prime and smooth your skin.
Start by cleansing your face with a gentle cleanser which suits your skin type. Apply a good face toner after cleansing the face. Apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer.
Always use a gentle scrub to deep clean areas where pores are more noticeable, like around the chin and nose. Exfoliate two to three times a week to slough away dead skin cells.
Primers not only make your skin look more refined and smoother, but they also help make your foundation stick to your skin for hours on end. For very large pores, it’s best to use a silicone-based primer as these have a thicker consistency and work well to smoothen out pores, wrinkles, acne scars, and fine lines.
Take your primers according to your skin type apply with your fingers to work it deeply into the areas with enlarged pores. Gently pat the areas where you applied your primer. This helps to smooth the product out and give your skin a more even, smooth base.
Apply your favourite foundation with brush or beauty blender. It is best to avoid dewy and illuminating formulas or the ones that leave you with a matte finish. Look for products that give you a “natural flawless, or an “HD” finish. These work to camouflage pores and don’t feel heavy on the skin.
The key to making pores look smaller is to keep them clear. Always use non-comedogenic makeup and moisturizers. Avoid products that contain heavy ingredients like mineral oil, petroleum, and chemicals that may irritate pores and make them look even bigger
Finishing powder or a setting powder works as a saviour. Use a translucent, waterproof powder and which stays for long without caking.
Use a powder puff to apply your setting powder. Fold it in half and use firm pressure and roll that powder puff over the skin to deposit the powder right into the pores.

Primer does work in minimizing the look of pores. I have been using NYX primer, it really works well on my combination skin.
I follow all these steps. It really helps out & makes look face good.
Yup! I need to buy this like now!
Great tips! I hardly use make up but I'll try this because i have really obvious pores on my nose!
Love these tips! I was born with large pores and am always looking for the perfect base/primer for my skin. I will have to check out some of these products to see if they work for me.
I am really loving these makeup tips. They are so spot on. I always finish off with a setting powder.
I have always kept my skin away from products even if they are herbal. I just feel so stressed with makeup but then again sometimes you need it. Great tips for using makeup to cover those pores. Preparing your skin for makeup is the most important part.
Thanks for your review. I did not know about those products. Lately, I tend to use make up less but I like your selection.
great tips that i need to start using more often now;; there was a time i would at least spend sometime on a routine for my face... now, i don't recall the last time i did so
I just started using primer and I like that my base looks smoother and my makeup lasts longer. I just don’t see my self wearing the powder. I think it may feel too heavy on my face. Is it that important? What are the benefits of using the powder?
