I know!! what do you use? Actually i use a nubby washcloth and scrub hard. I was just messing with you. 😉 But it does make a difference in how your makeup applies, if you don't exfoliate. |

I splurged for my birthday and got Armani foundation and it’s too light when I supply it and it dries down to a darker and better colour. I used to buy La Mer and it’s wonderful but I wanted to try one thing else. Aka Dad said buy presents for myself and everyone for birthdays and Christmas. It does oxidize so you need to be careful. The finish is pretty. Not dewy and not matte. Luminous is too much but soft and pretty is right.

The trick to the Elf Poreless Putty is less is more. It takes only a small amount to do the work. I would focus on skincare before make up. Pore issues are something that really needs to start with skin care. I moved to medical grade skin care last year and it has seriously changed my skin. I buy all of my products from skin beautifulrx and there is always a coupon code. The site is owned and operated by a female and they do have doctors on staff for questions. You can even purchase a face time session with Leah to go over your skin care concerns. I've always had big pores. My whole adult life. So it's not new. I don't think its something that can be changed. I use a good moisturizer. Clinque in the AM, and drunk elephant at night, and wash with Cerave. I'm not broke out, or have black heads, or any of those things. Do you use a toner? I have large pores and really noticed a difference when I started using a toner am and pm. Just a drugstore purchase. |

I don't think this new high waisted mom jean trend they are trying to push thru is going to last long. Even my very cute skinny 20ish yr old is saying, hell no! LOL |

I was lucky to add this primer thing. I'm a wash, moisturize and go. I think in my younger yrs I tried some of those 3 step facial cleaning systems, but I can never stick to them. I really think at this point in my age, my pores are my pores, and aren't going to change. |

LOL I am not doing a 90210 mom jean look like Tori Spelling in the intro. Just no. The skinny trend I can take it or leave it. I have some mid rise that are a pretty wash denim. They have a boot cut leg and are very comfortable. |

Has anyone tried the niacinamide that seems to be all the rage? Paula's Choice ads claim it does a lot for texture.
In addition to pores the size of Texas, I'm also getting calcium deposits and seboriac keratosis, so I've got texture galore.
My dermatologist (who gives my many moles an annual checkup) marvels at me every year. I've got the skin issues of an 80 year old, but no face wrinkles.

I just started using the Farmacy Honeymoon Glow about 2 weeks ago. I've had it for a while and know it's really popular but just hadn't gotten around to using it. I'm only using it 2-3 times a week right now, but I love it. Not only is it winter, but I live at a higher altitude, so my skin gets really dry.
