Many parts of me have grown bigger in my 40’s. For today, I’ll just be talking about my ever-expanding pores.
MAKE UP FOR EVER Ultra HD Microfinishing Loose Powder is one of my all-time favorites for smoothing over my pores. It practically erases them! It’s like magic.
If you don’t want shell out the $36 for Make Up Forever, there is another option…
Try NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Studio Finishing Powder Translucent Finish for $10. Smooth everything out and hide those pores. Defeat shine. All for ten bucks.
How I Use These Powders:
- I never dust it all over my face.
- I don’t set concealer around my eyes with these powders.
- I DO use a dense brush and apply the powder to just the parts of my face that have giant pores: center of forehead, nose, the parts of my cheeks right next to my nose. NO dusting, but rather a targeted use of the powder. Sort of pushing/buffing it into my pores with the brush shown below. Any dense brush will do, just not a fluffy brush.
There is help for big pores! And these powders take away shine on the areas of my face where I don’t want shine. A little highlight on cheekbones is pretty. But nobody wants a shiny forehead and nose with giant pores. Nobody.
