That's strange about the "splotchy ness" haha are you sure your not putting too much on. And I would try a pore minimising primer for sure! The main thing I guess I think is helpful sometimes is learning that sometimes less is more :)

No I don't put too much, it might be because I have dry lips and it's matte but I don't know it's weird. I have to carry the lipstick and a lip brush everywhere for touch ups lol it's annoying and ok, do you know any good ones? And yea I've been trying to use less lately :) thanks ^.^

I've hear the porefessional primer by benifit is great! So I would suggest that. And as for the lips yes I get what you mean now I get it when I have dry lips and what I do is exfoliated my lips with a lip scrub ( I have the bubblegum one from lush) or you can brush your lips with a tooth brush then I put a lip balm on for about ten minutes before I apple lipstick/liner. I hope that helps.

I absolutely loveeee the Porefessional by benefit. Definately my holy grail! My makeup looks sooo good now that I use it and I can not see my pores! And I would exfoliate my lips before I apply lipstick/liner. (:

Try a pore minimizing primer, I like the benefit porefessional. I also heard that the Smashbox pore primer is great. Exfoliate your lips or try a lip primer.

I use the smashbox pore minimizing primer and I love it.
for you lips exfoliate, apply lip balm (like Carmex) and use a lip primer.

As far as matte lipsticks use a lip primer which will help. Also use a lip conditioner and lip scrub.

As far as pore minimizing product, mac just launched mineralize timecheck online which optically blurs fine lines and wrinkles and minimize pores, caffeine helps to tighten skin, and shea butter allows for extreme hydration. I've been using it the last week and it really seems to do exactly what it claims.

For the lipstick try applying a good amount of lip balm before you begin your entire face, now when you're ready to line and put lipstick on your lips take a tissue and kiss it to take the excess lip balm off and then begin to work with the lips.

For making eyes appear lager and popping use a white eyeliner in your waterline area or a nude color for a more subtle pop for example the Rimmel scandal eyes is a great nude liner. I hope this helps! :)
