HOW TO MINIMIZE LARGE PORES, TEXTURED SKIN & STILL GLOW || Dry & Large Pore Primer Routine

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

OMG you guys!!! I want to thank one of our squad members for correcting me. Milk Blur Stick HAS NO SILICONE!! I totally misspoke so sorry about that but yay love them. hooray!!!!

[@donw1907]

I really enjoy yours channel!! I'd like to clarify the Burt's Bees 2 N 1 Diaper Cream for oily t-zone. Have you used this on clients for all day wear and does it cause breakouts?

[@nazfar6700]

Which was the third primer u used

[@jacquelinegiles3885]

Elle Leary Artistry hi

[@jacquelinegiles3885]

I absolutely love ur honesty 😊

[@SophieBee1]

I was surprised to hear you say this originally because I'd heard that Milk products (the brand, not dairy...!) used more 'natural' ingredients than many other brands.

[@michelleburnstein729]

This is such a coincidence. I have been struggling with this issue lately. There are hardly any good “green” primers without silicone. Milk to the rescue! I can’t wait to try it. They really ought to start thinking about including people older than 24 in their ads and attitudes. I didn’t take them seriously because they are so millennial driven. Ageism is really demoralizing and cruel. It’s a big problem in the entire beauty industry. I really want to be more than a wrinkle cream to some brands. Diversity means more than skin color. I felt the same way about Glossier. When I threw caution to the wind, and tried the Cloud Paint, I was blown away. They are beautiful. Sadly, many brands have kicked us to the “wrinkled” curb. I hope things change. ❤️

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

you have no idea how much I agree with you!!!! xo

[@sbrown6798]

Michelle Burnstein I totally agree. There are plenty of ageist clothing companies too.

[@janetlovett9253]

Michelle Burnstein Touché! Thank you for your honest opinion which so many of us see going on but say nothing. People in their 50’s or even 60’s do not look old. It’s not like back in the day of our mothers. People today, because of all the tools and information available to them, look amazing! 😉

[@donnagarlitz7916]

I also want to thank you for this community. I had the opportunity to help Annette, one of your loyal followers. She lives in Sweden and was so consistent in her desire to try the TATCHA water cream. After many months I couldn't take it anymore and contacted her. It just seemed wrong for a lady to sincerely want an item and be without, You're the only KZbin beauty person she follows. She likes your heart and skin care theory. She sees all you do from KZbin, Instagram, and your blog, Very dedicated to you so I'm so happy to help her with some TATCHA products and maybe a few other brans I may have samples in, I just pray the shipping goes well. 🙏

[@cammierountree5172]

Donna Garlitz you are so very kind! Just had to comment as there aren't many like you nowadays!

[@Olekentuckyboy1.0]

Donna garlitz ...this is awesome! Such a nice person!

[@unapologeticallyamy9031]

How sweet of you!!!

[@CrazyJane76]

You looked like you’d got foundation on before you started! Your skin is flawless 💖 would love a skincare routine from you for my skin xx

[@guiltyhedonist]

Another great and helpful video! Thanks for the tip about pressing the pore-refining primer into the skin instead of swiping it - that explains a lot about why it hasn't been working well for me.

[@michelesalter9564]

I have been struggling with pore size, and today I followed your techniques with products I already have and WOW! Normally I "freshen up" during the day and didn't have time today, and when I left work and looked in the car mirror I was stunned at how my makeup stood up. Thank you Elle for all of the wonderful content!

[@kellirae3897]

It’s like you were reading my mind. I struggle with large pores and dry skin so this video is right up my alley. Thank you for the tips. I have the Milk Blur Stick already and the Becca Backlight primer and the Bobbi Brown Radiance primer too so I’m going to try these techniques tomorrow! Thanks Elle! 😘😘

[@kellirae3897]

And I’m always worried about the ingredients of products so I’m glad that you like Milk. I shiver when I see some of the ingredients in some products. If it’s Elle approved then it’s good for me! 😁😁👍🏼👍🏼

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

you are so sweet thank you love!

[@wendyraye]

Wow I thought you had makeup on already because of how glowy your skin is. Up until this video , I put the illuminating primer all over, then patting the pore filler OVER the middle parts. Wasn’t sure if it was ok to layer so much but now I know how to do it. Been looking for this information. Thanks!!:)

[@sharonsaunders3674]

I literally cannot tell the difference of your skin or the primer!!! Your skin is flawless Elle!! No need for primer or makeup.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

😘😘😘😘

[@sandieelliott4389]

Thank you so much for posting this! I’m getting close to 40 and my makeup needs and game are both changing so it helps to have this info!

[@veeversace8649]

THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM I HAVE I HAVE DRY SKIN BUT LARGE PORES I LITERALLY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ON KZbin THAT COVERA BOTH TOPICS ITS ALWAYS LARGE PORES WITH OILY SKIN ITS BEYOND FRUSTRATING IM SOOOOO HAPPY I FOUND THIS VIDEO!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍💜💜💜

[@jennifercody1426]

I have my 30-year High School reunion coming up next month and going to try these techniques♡ thank you

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay how exciting! have a great time xo

[@tammyroy9042]

Hey beautiful Elle😊 I’ve always taken great care of my skin but lately have been religiously following your most recently posted skincare routine and am loving it! This video is just what I need because I’ve always struggled with the whole wanting to be dewy but needing some blurring- this is SO helpful! Thank you 😘 Have a beautiful day! Tammy Roy from Canada 🇨🇦

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

thank you so much Tammy! means a lot

[@mishmash3968]

Whatever you’ve done to your skin, it’s working. You look gorgeous in this video.

[@jslaugh19]

I'm so happy you mentioned Backlight! I just got a free full size w/ my Ulta order for being a diamond. I'm so excited to try it! Perfect timing with this video.. I have dry skin & large pores, & would have probably slathered all over my face 😂 Thanks Elle ❤

[@lesleygoldberg3304]

More than your product recommendations, I appreciate your advice on techniques. After the video you did on how to use Hourglass Mineral Veil by softening it in your palms, I started applying all my smoothing primers that way and it works perfectly. When I went CF, I stopped using Benefit and Dr. Brandt Pores No More, both of which worked really well for me. I am currently using Tarte and it is okay but now I am looking forward to trying the Milk.

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

awe thank you so much! means a lot

[@katielemos8590]

I'm not a fan of the Blur Stick, but I love love love the Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer. I've been using two primers for a long time. It works well on my over 40 face.

[@beverlycollins4283]

You don't even need makeup. My gosh girl you are simply gorgeous. Your skin care routine... I want what you have. You don't look like you even have a pore on your face. 💖💖💖

[@SuzyKim84]

It’s hard to find videos addressing large pores with dry skin, which I deal with. It’s usually with oily skin. Thank you for this!

[@racheli2598]

You don’t even need foundation! Your skin looks amazing with the primers. Great tips! One of the first videos I watched when I found your channel was at the beginning or end of 2017 and you talked about going hard in 2018 and unapologetically. You are definitely working hard on your channel and living up to your goals and it shows, congrats 💕

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

wow thank you so much! that means the world to me

[@ddtwohearts]

Thank you soooooo much for introducing and demo of the Milk Blur stick. I immediately went out and purchased one and OMG! I was blown away with the great near flawless finish of my skin. Definitely, the Milk Blur stick, along with the Beauty Blender are two items I will never be without! So I bought 2 of each!!!!

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

yay!!!

[@starsheen1]

When I have an event or party and I'm putting on my full beat I always use the setting spray trick! I only do it a little differently, I apply the primers and then use my sponge dampened with Skindinavia Bridal setting spray and push it all in, then apply foundation, and repeat with setting spray sponge , apply concealer, repeat with setting spray sponge. I try not to powder my under eyes too much and this helps me use minimal to no powder. And the layers don't feel heavy at all for me.

[@skyhoward2050]

That's LMFB great suggestion! How damp do you make your sponge with the setting spray? I've never actually tried it even though I've been told it's great for longevity especially for oily skin!

[@starsheen1]

@@skyhoward2050 I do just 2-3 sprays on the pointed end, give it a squeeze, and then go in.

[@Future-zx9ts]

That's LMFB I will definitely try this! Thanks for mentioning it!

[@starsheen1]

I should add that I blend the foundation and concealer regularly first, then go over with the setting spray sponge. Hope that makes sense! 🤗

[@donnajohnson1792]

That's LMFB I do this too! I use the Mac fix prep and set! All day wear no matter what foundation!

[@kellyoconnor1035]

Hello Elle, I cannot believe it, but your channel just gets better and better! I am not just saying that to suck up or anything like that. I hope you know that. Every time I come I just really am learning more and more! Lots and lots of love💕💕💕💕

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jillbaffone6939]

Exactly what I was asking!!!! Perfect! Thank you!!! 🙌

[@BelleLopez312]

Great advice. Thank you! Now I know WHY my primer was sliding and peeling. 😁

[@marcybyrne4196]

I bought Milk Blur stick from your recommendation from "large pores video". I freaking loooove it! I've tried so many primers but my nose still looks like orange peel. I think my Jouer color is Honey. Thanks honey👍

[@amyralls6218]

Woah, Elle! What a revelation!! Using two primers to deal with the different concerns on the face! Such a simple idea and yet a foreign concept! Thank you so much for sharing this idea of using different primers at the same time for different problems! Who'd a thunk!! :-P

[@ElleLearyArtistry]

😍😍😍😍

[@franb6112]

I like the tip on patting in the primer instead of rubbing in!

[@sherielight5569]

Great video. I have been using the Tarte primer that comes in a jar on my t-zone & the L'Or around the perimeter of my face.Have a blessed week.

[@kellymoore7383]

Thank you so much for doing this tutorial 😍 I really really needed to know how to use primers properly and you always explain things so well and make it look so simple and easy. ❤️😊💕

[@natashacloutte5785]

Thanks a lot for doing a video that discusses the reason behind skin care techniques and the stages to use each technique when it comes to primers and bases... most primer tutorials are only on advertising newer brands and I find myself at a complete loss at whether to invest in drug store of high end products as if it will make a difference at all. This is much more informative : ) Ta

[@yensid4294]

After trying several primers that were highly recommended here on KZbin with less than positive results I took a chance on It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Serum Primer. Boom. Worked amazing & didn't dry out my skin or pill up. I use a drop of it & after all my makeup is on I spray a sponge with Smashbox Primer Water & then press that into any areas I want to glow. I'm usually already wearing vit c serum, an essence, a moisturizer & sunscreen under my foundation so I don't need more layers :) Bye Bye Pores smoothes out fine lines & texture, I can even use it under my eyes if I want to.

[@cammierountree5172]

yensid dr Brandt Pores No More is very good too!

[@marydavidson4816]

You have the most beautiful skin before you ever begin!

This video is perfect for me! I always appreciate your knowledge and technique. I’m still searching for a pore filling primer that is my go to. Maybe I’ll try the Milk. I’ve also heard some people talk about Winky Lux’s Whipped Cream Primer. Have you (or anyone else) tried it? Thank you so much, Elle. Your videos really do make a difference in my life.

You keep saying the Milk Blur Stick is silicone-based, yet one of the main positives Milk always notes is that it is silicone and paraben-FREE.

thanks for the technique tips, I´ll have to adjust how I was putting on primers ... I have very oily T-zone and dry patches elsewhere... so I'm also going to be trying out some products you mentioned. Hugs from Chile!

Thanks Elle! I saw your other video that suggested to tap in for textured skin. It's a new technique but I'm trying it and can already tell a big difference. I'm trying sample primers now and haven't found a love yet. I will try them again with the patting technique and see if that is the difference maker. Oh and I bit the bullet and have a dermaflash on the way!

Wow your skin looks amazing 😮😮😮😮😍😍😍

[@Tugboat-R-Us]

I made a huge mistake with my skincare about two years ago. I had real bad cystic acne and was pretty desparate. I had been using Paula’s choice Resist skincare line, including their bha. However, I seen a video where this guy was using a benzyl peroxide under his moisturizer, even if he didn’t have acne there at the time. So I thought...hey I’ll give it a try.... and at the beginning I was getting great results. Now keep in mind, I am also a licensed skincare specialist lol. I’ve worked for Clarins & Lancome. I know I know but when you have cystic acne....cystic acne will make you try and do dumb stuff 😂. I was doing something that I would never tell my clients to do bc keep in mind, I was still doing my same old routine, including bha. I started applying the benzyl peroxide all over my face, except around the eyes. Then all of a sudden my foundation was caking, creasing, wouldn’t stay on etc. I went from oily to super dry, sensitive/dehydrated skin. So, thankfully as soon as I started having this symptom, I stopped the benzyl peroxide and I actually stopped the bha just to give it a rest. Kept it super simple. Now at first bc bha was making my skin cells to turnover quickly, I had this thick layer of dead skin on my face. I started watching Elle Leary bc of her extreme knowledge of skincare and Wayne Goss. It took me little over a year just to see a little bit of oil come back and I so miss my oil. I started using a muslin cloth 2-3 times a week bc the exfoliator that I was trying to use in place of a bha (eminence strawberry dermafoliant with lactic acid) was just not conducive to the symptoms my skin was having, (plus Elle suggested it in one of her videos ☺️) a gentle gentle cream cleanser and toner and a day and night moisturizer with spf during the day, a moisture mask 3-4 times a week and that’s it, kept it extremely simple for about 8 mos. So then I slowly started introducing serums. The first serum I used was the iunik beta-glucan power moisture serum and I used it for nighttime,(Ms. Elle Leary suggested this product in one of her videos, thank you Elle), Wow, that serum makes your skin so soft. and now Im trying a moisture serum under my moisturizer during the day. Slow and steady is my best advice. My skin is normal to dry now but Im also 42 years old but at least I can wear makeup now. Thank you Elle!!!!!

[@BelindaShanle]
