Sorry I already posted this but forgot to include pics!

Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone could recommend me some foundation and concealer brands for large pores and rosacea? Around the top of my nose and cheeks I have very large, deep pores. (kind of looks like the surface of a strawberry!) And it's always 100% worse in the colder months sad.png I find in the summer they are barely noticeable at all. Can anyone suggest any good foundation and concealer brands? I've tried a few things over the years but nothing stands out as being that great. Thank you!

Also in terms of skin care I use

Paula's Choice Pore Normalizing Cleanser

Paula's Choice skin refercting 2% BHA liquid

Nip & Fab glycolic fix serum

Salicylic Acid

I also use a retional moisturiser. Have been following this skin care routine for about 6 weeks and have seen no results at all

I just recomended primers for large pores to someone else. I find putting foundation and concealer just make them cakey looking but still there. I have skin similar to you. I recomended maybelline instant pore eraser but I actually use L'oreal miracle blur, not the oil free one because the oil free one is just like any old primer. It's like almost $30 whereas the Maybelline is around $5. I try all kinds of foundations and always go back to L'oreal true match. My favorite concealer was always clean and clear's medicated concealer stick, which they discontinued but some drugstores still carry there store brand version of it in the acne wash section. I get mine at Shoppers drug mart. A lot of times I will just dot a tiny bit more of foundation instead of concealer over acne.
