I generally take a clean taklon brush, dip it into my finishing powder [mineral veil] and brush downward in the area of enlarged pores.
I keep brushing downward, just on these spots, until they appear minimized.
Some people use a sponge to do this as well.
It's certainly not a "perfect" fix ... but it works to at least minimize the look of them.

| I've heard keeping them clean and using a toner after clensing and Retin A can really help. I've seen great improvement on mine since start all that a few months ago. |

| I'll second that, using OCM with salicylic acid and Tazorac (a retinoid) has helped me. I also use Exuviance powder and like it because it is very light which is good in semi-cocealing lareg pores. |

| I have the same problem, especially off to the side of my nose, on my checks, The make up always seems to make the pores look larger (probably because they are). I found using a toner and asprin mask, seems to make them tighter. In fact, one morning after my asprin mask, applied make up as normal, came to work and several women said "your skin looks so clear" and you look like you have no pores". It is not a permanent cure, just a fix |

| Pure Luxe has a product called Line Eraser that works for me. Its wonderful for minimizing lines and large pores. |

| You mentioned mineral veil, so you're using BE, right? I noticed and have heard that the bismuth oxychloride in it can make your pores look worse. Have you tried other non-bismuth mmu? Pure luxe is one. |

I think that just covering up with make up will not resulve your problem, on the contrary, it will make your pores even more visible. I would suggest to use OCM every day in order to clean your pores and make them smaller.
What is your diet? Do you take enough vitamins and minerals? You have to eliminate the cause of enlarge pores, and OCM method helped to many people on this forum.
