Banishing our pesky friend, texture.
Texture can ruin a flawless makeup finish, and most of us have to deal with some degree of it. Whether it’s acne scarring, pimples, large pores, or peach fuzz. With texture, no matter what foundation or powder that you use, your face will always look uneven. The best remedy for damaged skin is a skincare routine to improve your complexion and exfoliation to rid your face of dead skin cells. The next best fix is a poreless primer that helps to fill in and cover blemishes to make your foundation application more flawless.
