I have some huge pores and rough complexion that's visible wiyh my everday make up, how do I make sure it looks smooth in my photos?

  • As in many other scenarios, you're best off taking care of your skin year-round to keep your pores and skin texture as smooth and refined as possible. Some of us really are predisposed to enlarge pores, but keeping them clear will help them remain as small as physically possible. Consider using retinol-based creams and kaolin-based masks regularly to de-clog pores and avoid stretching them out.
  • Avoid pore-clogging products (look for "non-comedogenic" on everything you put on your face), and use gentle scrubs regularly, without overdoing it. Consider a Clarisonic brush; these are known for refining skin's texture.
Having said all that, some of us really do find ourselves battling enlarged pores, just to find they're still showing through our foundations; many liquid varieties actually pool in the pores, making them even more pronounced! What's a girl to do?!

  • Simple: Find a good primer and a good, long-lasting, matte foundation. Many primers out there are completely ineffective, but I do have a few favorites, including Perfekt Skin Perfection Gel, Becca Line and Pore Corrector, and Illamasqua Matt Primer.

As for foundations, I highly recommend getting a few samples of SPF-free and titanium dioxide-free formulas (either of those ingredients may result in a grey reflection in photos). My top photo shoot foundation recommendations are Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, Cinema Secrets foundations, ERA spray foundations, Christian Dior Full Mat, Yves Saint Laurent Matt Touch, and a few others. Just be sure to ask for samples first to ensure a proper color match and that the consistency works with your skin.

  • Just one other important tip while we're talking foundations: Be sure to match your foundation to your neck or upper chest rather than your skin! It's too easy to look like you're wearing a mask when your face color doesn't exactly match your neck and decollete! Apply your foundation to your neck and blend it out on your chest and possibly even shoulders, if they'll be visible as well.
