preparing skin for makeup

Many times, while applying makeup, the smoothness of the skin reduces, due to which the look of the makeup gets spoiled due to open pores. Skin care is necessary to reduce these pores, but they do not disappear completely. Therefore, follow some special tips to make makeup smooth and flawless.

clean the face thoroughly

It is necessary to clean the skin properly before applying makeup. For this, use mild cleanser and apply oil-free and non-comedogenic moisturizer for hydration. If your skin is oily, choose a gel based moisturizer. Open pores become more visible due to dirt, oil and dry skin. Keeping the skin hydrated and tight makes the pores appear smaller.

Use silicone based primer

Don’t forget to use primer while doing makeup. It should be light and silicone based. Apply primer on areas like nose, cheeks and forehead. This will make your skin smooth and help hide open pores.

smart use of concealer

Using concealer the right way is a smart hack. Apply concealer where pores are visible. If you don’t have concealer, use foundation. Apply it gently with a sponge or finger. After this, apply translucent powder, which absorbs excess oil and makes open pores less visible. Keep in mind not to use too much powder, otherwise the skin may appear cakey and pores may become visible again.
