I just bought the split pan of Laura Gellers Vanilla/Portofino Highlighter. From what I've been reading I was hoping the Vanilla wouldn't accentuate my large pores, but it does. Maybe I'm applying it incorrectly. I've used the foam "brush" that came with the product and I've used a regular brush.
Any tips for me?? Thank you all!

You have a great compact! I use French Vanilla every day. What I do is use the smaller side of the sponge applicator and press the vanilla in. But I use it only around my eyes. It doesn't accentuate my lines and it does a good job of hiding my dark "allergy eyes" circles! You may be using too much. Where do you want to put it?

@JuLee Where are you applying it, for your pores to be accentuated? It's a highlighter so you should just be using it to hit certain areas - above the brow, between the brows, the area between the undereye zone and cheekbone, down the center of your nose - not full face. You can use that foam paddle applicator, but don't pick up a lot and do a stippling/tapping kind of motion as you apply - no real rubbing or buffing, so to speak. I've also used one of my angled, tightly packed IT Cosmetic brushes too, but in a similar application method.
Have you thought about amending your skincare routine to address your pore issue? That would help too.

I love the product, but I only use it under and above my brows and on my lids to bring out eye depth and lift the look of the brows. Obviously, I don't have enlarged pores in that area, so no problem with that. It's not meant to be used all over the face IMO.

I'm trying to use it in the "triangle" zone near my nose for brightness. I've been using Paulas Choice BHA for a few months now to address the pores. I've always had them. Nobody else notices (I've asked my kids!!), but I do!
