Make My Pores Disappear Please!

Pores Pores PORES! They are so annoying, aren't they?! This has been THE task for me to tackle for years. These couple of weeks I have been trying out some new products and tips. I really like them and I will love to share with you.

I deal with the pores issue in two ways: Skincare and Make-ups. I am not sure if the skincare really do the job to tighten the pores (I can only tell with my naked eyes); however, I find that after using these pore treatment skincare products, my pores do seem to be bearable. I no longer shout in front of mirror with horror at my pores every morning now!

Skincare

I thoroughly cleanse and gently exfoliate (once or twice a week) and I use pores refining products targeting the pores area. As for the rest of the face I use my usual skin care products because I have oilly to dry combination skin. If I use the pore refining products all over my face, it would be too drying for me.

1. Cleanse and Exfoliate: Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
2. Toner: Botanics Cleansig Toner All Bright
3. Treatment: La Roche-Posay Effaclar K

Make-up

Make-up can really work as wonder when you know how. I have some tips of how to make the pores disappear with make-up that you must try! Very simple tricks and will save you loads of time! So here we go! 

To make the pores disappear is easy. Instead of using your fingers or flat foundation brush , use a round/buffing brush to apply the foundation! And when applying foundation, don't go stripes or up and down motions. Go circling motion around the pores. This will really help to cover the pores! 

and of course a little primer and good quality setting powders come really handy too if you want to keep the flawless look!

4. Primer: The Body Shop Skin Primer Matte It
5. Round buffing brush: Real Techniques Expert Face Brush
6. Powder: Chanel Healthy Glow Les Beiges

I will show you the difference in the photo below. On the right hand side (of the photo) I am using the circling and buffing motion to apply the foundation, prepped with primer and set it with powder. On the left, I only apply the foundation using my fingers. For the purpose of showing you the difference, I zoom in and change the colour to black and white. (Gosh, why am I showing you all my pores!!!)
