Using a hydrating face serum is a must for achieving a glowing, hydrated complexion! Serums are lightweight and packed with concentrated active ingredients that help to deliver nourishment and hydration. By replenishing the skin's moisture levels, a hydrating serum may help to minimize the appearance of pores for a smoother, more youthful look.

The Holy Hydration! Triple Bounce Serum contains 1.7% hyaluronic acid in three molecular weights to help hold moisture in the skin giving you a plump, smooth, and bouncy complexion.

A gentle exfoliant helps to slough off dead skin cells that can clog pores and lead to dullness, uneven texture, and breakouts. By removing this buildup, your pores can appear smaller, as well as your skin looking smoother and more refined.

Regular exfoliation may also allow your other skincare products to better penetrate the skin and work more effectively. It creates a fresh canvas for serums, moisturizers, and treatments to fully absorb and deliver their benefits. Incorporating a gentle exfoliant 1-2 times per week can make a noticeable difference in the clarity and overall health of your skin. We recommend incorporating this step into your skincare routine after washing your face and before applying any serums and moisturizers.

When you want a more flawless-looking complexion, try choosing a makeup primer that helps to smooth out the appearance of pores. Look for formulas with either silica or dimethicone as those ingredients help to smooth, blur, and disguise the appearance of pores on your complexion.

The ultimate skin-perfecting face primer is a blurring, poreless face primer. It’s perfect for those who want to minimize the look of pores and have a smoother, more flawless-looking complexion. The ultra-velvety texture smooths over your skin and blurs the appearance of pores making it a great choice for those looking for a primer for large pores.

After you’ve cleansed and moisturized your face, allow your face cream to absorb before applying your pore-minimizing primer. Apply the liquid face primer evenly to face and pat into skin. Allow your face primer to set for about 60 seconds and then finish up the rest of your makeup routine.

Using a hydrating concealer can help minimize the appearance of pores in two key ways:

• Hydrating concealers contain nourishing ingredients that can help to plump and smooth the skin's surface, temporarily blurring the look of enlarged pores.

• Hydrating concealers provide buildable coverage that allows you to target specific areas like the t-zone where pores may be more visible. The e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer is an amazing option with a hydrating, medium to full coverage formula that conceals imperfections while helping to keep your skin looking fresh and natural.

It’s time to lock in your makeup with a good setting spray! The fewer times you have to touch your face, even for touch-ups, the better. Just as with your liquid foundation and powder foundation, choose a formula that will leave you with a matte or semi-matte complexion to lock in makeup, but not accentuate your pores.

For a matte makeup look that lasts up to 16 hours, try Stay All Night Micro-Fine Setting Mist. It locks down your look with super long-wear and feels lightweight on the skin. The mister is ultra fine to give you the ultimate coverage with a super easy application. To apply a setting mist, gently mist the spray across your complexion in a T motion (across the forehead and down the nose/chin) and then in an X motion to ensure proper coverage. Use a clean makeup sponge to press the setting spray into your skin to secure your look and make touch-ups a thing of the past.

What Does Poreless Face Primer Do and How Does it Work?

How does poreless primer work? It’s magic! Just kidding... It may seem like a smooth blur primer can work magic, but they are purposefully designed to help smooth out our skin texture and grip our makeup for longer wear. They will oftentimes use ingredients such as silica or dimethicone which smooths over your complexion, evens out your skin textures, and blurs large pores to minimize their appearance. They provide a great base that makes makeup go on smoother.
