Pores produce precious oil called sebum, which ensures our skin stays radiant and well-nourished.

What Are Large Pores & How Do They Occur?
Before we delve into how to reduce large facial pores and the best makeup for big pores, what actually causes them to appear larger in the first place? It turns out, some of us naturally have larger pores in our skin than others, and that’s just the way it goes. People with oily skin types might notice overly enlarged pores due to the overproduction of that all-important sebum. In excess, sebum can tend to settle in your pores. It’s also known that as we age, our skin is deprived of its youthful elasticity and thus pores can start appearing larger than they once were.

1. Prep The Skin
Before we run through the steps around makeup that minimises pores, it’s important to start with a prepped and nourished base layer of skincare. As a crucial ‘pre-step’ in any pore-minimising beauty routine, the Bye Bye Glycolic Acid Serum contains 10% glycolic acid and hyaluronic acid to noticeably improve skin texture and diminish the appearance of large pores. Deploy a few drops into your hands and press it into the face. Allow it to sink it for a few moments and then move on swiftly to primer!
2. Use a Primer to Refine Pores
When navigating the best makeup for big pores, there’s no going past a smoothing, surface-evening primer. The Your Skin But Better Primer remains a pore-perfecting oil-free, first base and is able to grip tight onto your makeup long after application. Prepare for hydration throughout the day, and the extended wear-time of your makeup products, as well as skin transformation to reduce the appearance of large pores after ongoing use.
3. Apply a Complexion-Perfecting Foundation
Foundation plays an integral role in crafting a flawless base, so it’s important to tailor your go-to product to your unique skin texture.
