Revlon photo ready pore reducing primer and Benefit Porefessional primer both work well for me.

I’ve tried several primers for this recently and benefit porefessional has been by far the best. The Ordinary silicone primer isn’t bad if you’re on a budget but it doesn’t come close.

Thanks! I feel like they've grown over night! The pores I mean .As for maxi dresses . I'm happy to wear them continuously over the summer both abroad and here at home and dump at the end of the summer . So handy with a denim shirt or jacket thrown over and a pair of flats . But I'd still like to look well going for dinner in the evenings!

Bioderma Sebium Pore Refiner from Boots is brilliant for reducing pores. Wilkos pink primer in a tube for £3 is the best primer ever but doesn't do much for reducing pores just fills them in!

Sounds great!!! Filler is fineS . Where do I get wilkos

I’m wondering if it’s related to the weather because my pores are looking much worse recently too, hence my attempts to improve their appearance. Apparently ensuring your skin is very clean for a prolonged period can stop the pores stretching out, i don’t know if that’s bollocks really so I’m just trying to find ways of reducing how they look.

Benefit porefessional plus Urban Decay All Nighter foundation plus All Nighter powder is the best combo I’ve found for me. The Ordinary coverage foundation is really good too but I don’t have quite the right shade. I’ve been wearing that with a thin layer of the (more expensive!) Urban Decay over the top.

For holiday though I guess you want a good BB cream instead - the BareMinerals one is good but quite shiny

From the shop called Wilko online and stores - look online for your nearest store and while there - check out there mascaras too!
