Q: How can I minimize the look of enlarged pores?

The best way to diminish their appearance—and to achieve flawless-looking skin—is to start with a great skin-care regimen designed to target your problem areas. My favorite line is Bliss, and I would recommend trying the brand's Clog Dissolving Cleansing Milk, Pore Perfecting Facial Polish, and Steep Clean Toner Pads, all of which impart a radiant glow.

The next step is applying a primer, such as M.A.C. Prep + Prime or Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, to fill in fine lines and wrinkles, creating a nice, smooth surface. At this point, your pores may have minimized to the point where no further makeup is necessary, but for added coverage, finish with a light coat of foundation.
