But, with a good primer, you can drastically minimize their appearance. If we’re being honest, there’s no way of changing the size of your pores.
LUMINOUS SKIN SKIN
Key Ingredients: Silk, squalane | Skin Type: All | Size: 0.7 oz. Although it's an adorable addition to any vanity, it’s not the most hygienic - use a scoop or be sure to wash your hands before using to avoid contamination.

One thing we wish we could change: The pot. Our tester even lauded the fact that her skin looked flawless and more even. Plus, it contains the brand’s signature Hadasei-3, a complex of youth-boosting ingredients, to leave skin soft and radiant. It also contains pollution-fighting natural actives meant to not only repair immediate damage, but also strengthen the skin barrier to protect against future damage. One scoop helps to minimize shine and offers a soft-focus finish that blurs the look of imperfections and fine lines. Ideal for all skin types, the multi-tasking formula (it can be used on eyes, lips, and face) is a top pick for Byrdie Editorial Director Hallie Gould. Infused with both silk extracts and silk powder, this velvety balm makes your skin quite literally feel as smooth as silk. Key Ingredients: Blue agave extract, Hyaluronic acid, Cannabis seed extract, Niacinamide | Skin Type: All | Size: 0.33, 1.52 or 5.28 oz. Price at time of publish: $36 for 1.52 fl oz Dry skin folks might appreciate the dewy finish, but those looking for a matte finish might want to keep scrolling. Something to consider: It can feel tacky upon application, but it dries down pretty quickly. The ingredients are equally as impressive the formula contains blue agave extract, hyaluronic acid, cannabis seed extract, and niacinamide to provide long-lasting hydration and visibly smooth the appearance of your skin. What’s more, it grips any and all makeup you put on top of it for all day hold without sacrificing hydration. The gel goes on completely invisible (despite the bottle having a greenish tint), and, according to our tester, smooths the look of skin right away - all you need is a pea-sized amount. It’s all I’ve been wearing and ask anyone in the ELLE office, it’s the foundation I won’t stop raving about.Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer is a must-have if you’re in the market for a primer that makes skin look like it's lit from within. Anyone who wants stealth mode coverage that makes people say, “Wow, you have such great skin!” should get this foundation. Most long-lasting, luminous formulas can be quite aging to the skin, particularly mature skin, and this product is the opposite. I highly recommend Gucci Beauty Éternité de Beauté. However, I do like that the shade finder gives you three different options. Sans makeup, it matched me about two shades lighter than my actual shade, so I would keep that in mind. When I matched my face wearing the actual Gucci foundation, it matched me at 360W (my Winter shade) however, I was wearing 410N (my Summer shade). Ironically, in artificial lighting, it matched me one shade lighter than my current foundation color. I advise you to shade match your face bare and in natural lighting. The Gucci Beauty website has a shade finder that works pretty well. With 40 shades and 4 different undertones, online shade matching may feel daunting.
