8 SKINCARE & MAKEUP Must Do's for Large Pores and Fine Lines

[@marciazeigler3161]

Very helpful for older lady here who is struggling with the inevitable fine lines of a life well lived

[@Lynnrazz]

You're so right about the pores and skin care FIRST... At 55, I'm finally getting my pores and deep wrinkles to lessen in appearance because of the better skin care I'm doing over the last 3 years. I used to moisturize only. Duh. Now, I have a Curology tretinoin prescription, use sun screen every single day, and use an AHA/BHA a couple of nights a week. Man, such an amazing difference! Thanks Elle!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

You got this!

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

But as sensitive skin people cant do all that! My cheeks get so red

[@Lynnrazz]

@@user-ez2bs3fq1x Just work through finding your personal concoction, what vibes for you... you'll get there. The AHA/BHA from Naturium has an amazing time release design so it doesn't cause irritation (I can put it on my neck without any problem),and you can get it at Target! You'll get there...😊😎

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

[@user-ez2bs3fq1x]

@@Lynnrazz should i get the aha or bha ? Or can you use then both. Would it be to strong?

The skincare is key!! I’m 60 and no one believes my age. Skincare is important and something I have learned from you! I wish I lived closer to you!!

[@sherryryniak4506]

Just wanted to let you know I enjoy watching & learning from, you’ve taught me plenty, even at 60, thinking I was doing a good, (or at least okay), job with makeup & most importantly, as you say, skin care!! I really didn’t take care of my skin AT ALL after losing my daughter couple years ago but am trying to “up my game,” I believe you’ve put it. You’re a beautiful young woman, keep bringing your abundance of knowledge & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you & your family 😊

[@robynparent4551]

Thank you Elle. I’m 60 and the pores/texture that is now showing on my skin is driving me crazy. I’ve almost given up on makeup because it looks so much worse! I will try pressing in primer and see how that goes. Love your tutorials!

[@TheJalebe73]

I have been doing consistent skincare with all of these ingredients for about two years now and I can vouch for them working! Even my dentist, with his magnifying glasses, says he’s never seen someone my age with such a tight pore structure. Thanks Elle!! ❤️

[@Heartsflow]

I just turned 46 and these tips are just what I needed, thank you! 🙌. PS your skin is glowing! Major goals. 😻💕

[@KateK-yx3fq]

For me double priming seems to really help in the problem areas.

Thank you! Who doesn’t want a flawless face for the holidays!

[@darcymarkey2349]

Thank you Elle! I love that you did one side and than the other for a side by side. ❤️😘

[@colleeniles]

The retinaldehyde serums are so gentle, no burning or dry skin. Great video.🌺

[@julieo4580]

I scored a Beauty Blender The Leveler primer at TJ Maxx for $8 last night lol. I love the educational stuff you provide! When you started putting primer on I was like she’s putting that over her makeup? No Julie she’s just got gorgeous skin and it looks like she’s flawless BEFORE makeup 💕

[@mell2994]

Wow your skin is absolutely glowing!! Beautiful

[@susanantonio1694]

Thank you, Elle, these are excellent tips! I love how you always start with the importance of good skincare as a canvas for the makeup products you recommended. I’ve learned so much from you over the years and I truly appreciate your help.😘

[@daynad8104]

I love all of these tips! You were the first person to teach me to use different primers on different parts of my face.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joyceredman2136]

Love the two techniques of applying foundation, helps seeing both sides of the face with each technique.!

[@kimberlyray7389]

Thank you so much for all of your advice. As a cosmetologist who did not specialize in skin, I appreciate your education. Also, I'm 55 and dealing with fine lines...a lot!

I never thought about using the FINISHING powder then setting spray before applying the foundation! The left side of your face where you did this technique was absolutely beautiful!!! Thank you. Going to try it today!

My pores and fine lines are still a “work in progress”, so thank you Elle, for showing the two ways to apply foundation. I totally agree with you, everything starts with the skin care….. something I’ve done religiously for several years now, based on your recommendations! You are the best!

[@YadiBeauty]

The powder was such a great tip!! Definitely trying this. And the Maelove.

[@MsSarahP]

Yes I needed this. I love that glowy side because I have dry skin but wondering if I should do the matte because my pores are out of control….

[@suzyb7953]

Have learned so much from you over the years of how to take care of my skin….thank you! Osmosis products have transformed my skin. I haven’t been using the Tatcha essence recently and that would be good for MN winter. Thank you for the great refresher!

[@malissamelrose]

I never had visible pores until 2 or 3 years ago and suddenly they appeared on my cheeks close to either side of my nose. I just figured it was aging (47 here) I’m super happy there are steps I can take to minimize or eliminate it!

[@alikoenig4715]

Thank you so much for these great tips! I have been brushing my foundation and my pores have been looking terrible. You are gorgeous!!!

[@fullofstars977]

Brushes can also cause micro-exfoliation. When I use a brush for blush and highlighter I press/tap. This was such a great video! Thank you for featuring AFFORDABLE products!

[@genie3852]

I used to have my skincare figured out. Then menopause hit...🙄 Now I feel like I'm starting from square one with a whole new skin type and set of issues. I swear I can do the exact same skincare routine and have completely different results from day to day. I'm trying to keep consistent while I am also "putting out fires" on different areas of my face (not to mention other parts of my body 😟). So right not I feel like the best thing I can do is increase my knowledge so that I know what is out there product wise and when/how to use it. 🥴

[@lisamariepagliei3945]

I have to tell you, not only do you give excellent information, but the way you break down the very important DETAILS, is just everything. The emphasis on not only pressing primers into the skin, but something I never hear anyone say, you said, and that is, WAIT a couple minutes after it's completely pressed into the skin, before applying foundation- piéce de resistance! Thank you so much for this information in such a complete way.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

[@lisamariepagliei3945]

I've known I should have a skincare regimen, just haven't had the budget. But too I had no idea really about what I needed to do? Tyvm for laying this all out as well as suggestions as to what to get. ❤️ Intrigued by the powder before foundation. I have quite a few powers & just checked & have no baked powders. 😢 I have a wishlist a mile long & a very minimal makeup budget.

[@SaraTheLupusLady]

I love you so much! My lupus and MS area screaming and have been (had to reschedule clients three times in the past 2 weeks) BUT I needed to watch some videos and get caught up! You always make me smile and I stress the ingredients so much with my clients; like you said they want them fixed instantly with a primer! Usually for brides I use the setting powder and spray, then makeup, then bridal spray after to make sure it’s not going anywhere! People swear their photos of the wedding and such are photoshopped! Nope, properly using skin care and application of makeup gives that look! I love you so! You’re sunshine in my day! 🙏💜🙏

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

sending you a big hug

[@-nellie-m3711]

Skincare first, I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin since using the Osmosis skincare products my pores are almost invisible to the eye when applying my makeup, doesn’t matter which foundation I use I still get the same outcome, I don’t think I’ll ever go back to using anything else on my face now, it’s been a huge game changer for me. You would never know that you had large pores Elle, your skin is always beautiful 😍.

I have very oily skin, and I am wrinkling (age 49). I have to use a BHA 1 or 2 times per week in order to keep my acne & blackheads at bay. Then I do use the techniques above, but I put a layer of setting spray after sunscreen to ensure it doesn't pill and keeps the oils at bay during the day.

Elle, your skin looks like glass even before you put anything on it. Simply gorgeous! So happy to hear your sweet girl is doing so much better❤️. You are such an amazing mother. What are your thoughts on the cosrx essence and their gel moisturizer? I understand I about the first step of a toner with both aha and bha as the first step and using a retinal. I have been using the cosrx essence for two years and I hope that you feel it’s a good one to use. Please let me know….. I also have their snail mucin, thoughts on using that twice a day?? What are the pros and cons to using that one from their line? Any negative research or experience in your line of work that snail mucin can produce lighter patches of pigment on the face that once foundation is applied enhances the lighter pigmented spots on the face? Also just wanted to throw it out there I have found the hourglass primer and I think it’s called Dr Jart primer really helps blur my pores. Thank you for all you do for us Elle!

[@CherylPA]

This is very helpful. I struggle with silicone primers, which include most of the “pore filling” versions, as they tend to increase the extent to which foundation gathers in lines and wrinkles. How does one hydrate adequately with essence, vitamin C serum, niacinamide serum, and then a moisturizer with sunscreen without having such a slippery/heavy base under the primer and make up? I use thin layers, let them absorb fully, , and have tried a myriad of different serum’s and sunscreens. It’s very frustrating. Thank you!
