Face helppp

Could anyone tell me any tip’s on how to shrink my pores :S i hate them.

if i apply foundation, there’s always bumps on my skin because of the pores, is there anyway to get rid of them and have a smoother foundation application?

if anyone could help id be gratefull :slight_smile:

You can't actually "shrink" your pores.

Have you tried applying a primer underneath your foundation?

Re: Face helppp

icing just before getting ready is said to help with the pores!

Re: Face helppp

Try Urban Decay Poreless face primer. I use that and it makes a difference. You can't shrink pores.

Re: Face helppp

Try Clinique Pore Minizer. http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY4919/PROD16909/Skin_Care/Pores/index.tmpl

I used to LOVE this but since last year, my skin changed from being oily to combo so these days, some areas of my face become dry.

If you have tried a lot of different primers and nothing has worked, I would suggest trying Milk of Magnesia. A friend of mine swears by it. I’ve never tried this (at least not yet!). Do a search on yahoo on using this as primer OR look at up on MakeupAlley…you’ll find tons of reviews.

On a side note, what’s your skin care routine? Are you using any retinol or AHA products?

Re: Face helppp

Thankyou so much, to be honest i dont like primers dont see much difference but i dont mind testing them :S

Never heard of milk of magnesia but i sure will browse to see.

And my skin routine is the basic cleansing, toning , and moisturizing, using clinique’s 3step just changed recently to clinique so still seeing how it goes. and i dont seem to use to use retinol or any of those products, skins to sensative doesnt seem to handle it, just stick to natural remedies when i can be bothered :slight_smile:

my skins not really bad, just the odd scarring and the stupid pores :S just want a smooth application when foundations applied
