Why YOUR skin looks so textured with foundation?

Why does my skin look so textured with foundation? This is just what makeup does. Your skin is naturally translucent, so the bumps don’t show as much when you don’t have makeup on. But Makeup is opaque, so the bumps now reflect light and catch shadows more when you apply makeup.
Foundation is meant to adjust color and even out your skin, you pay for that gain by emphasizing texture. But there are ways to minimize the appearance of texture and this tutorial is your perfect guide. I hope you enjoy this tutorial. Lots of love, Smitha

Because your skin is naturally textured and it’s ok! It’s normal 💕

[@jilliancusack7902]

Thank you for addressing the concealer "hacks" and popular ways of applying concealer! I always wondered if it truly made make up look weirder in person as that was my experience but it looks amazing in photos!

[@starlight5229]

I was only trying to fix these things myself last week! Now I have your video to tick off the points to check 🙂 Thank you SO much Smitha

[@missyme2673]

Thank you for this valuable video. I totally agree with everything you've said, which is why I take my skin care very seriously, including the use of exfoliation and actives.. I find that for me this is the best way to keep my skin looking and feeling super smooth and soft. Thank you for also talking about dermaplaning, this makes a HUGE difference to your skins texture I love the way my skin feels after this process and how well my skin care products soak into my skin afterwards. I actually don't wear foundation as I don't like to cover up how clear my skin is. I wish more people take notice of this video and how well you explain everything. Thank you for doing this video, it's so important and yet so often neglected. Sending you much love from the UK 🇬🇧 ❤️

Love the explanation, new to full face makeup and don’t like much at all great! Thanks 😊

[@Patti-1962]

I always use the Catrice Illuminating setting spray after I apply foundation and concealer, before powder. Then I use an under eye powder (Pat McGrath- was a gift from my BFF!) to set my concealer, then a VERY light dusting of the Elf Halo Glow powder for the face. I apply a small amount to a large, fluffy brush and press it into the skin! I am 60, and this works on my mature skin!

Smitha, as usual, you've hit it out of the park with a nice deep dive! I (we) need your help! Graduation season is upon so many of us here in India and I've searched high and low and haven't found a brown-skin friendly graduation tutorial that fits Indian contexts (as you know, graduation ceremonies here work a little differently). I'm on the lookout for a makeup look that's simple, formal, elegant, and most importantly, which photographs well while looking good off camera and is easy and cheap to put together. Of course, any gyaan on makeup and fashion from your graduation and college years would be much appreciated too. I hope you can come up with a tutorial!

[@bilikcantik88]

Thanks for sharing. That was so good

[@katimius]

Yeeesssss! Thank you got the reminders of: 1) use the right product and tool for your skin and application. 2) no need to use an excessive amount of product. 3) hydrate or use a fixer mist between layers.

I’m now 65 and find that less can be more for textured skin. I have on and off rosacea flare ‘s that leaves me at times bumpy. I think concealer on first is best . Recently I’ve been using your techniques and they’re WONDERFUL ❤. Especially hooded eye placement and color like your recent nudes tutorial is ideal for my skin now. Many thx

I have oily skin but I'm going to try that hydrating mist. I just used a matte foundation and I normally love this foundation but I felt that it looked a little too matte and I was just thinking that I maybe should have added a hydrating mist to it. Usually I need everything to matte when I wear my thin foundations. I use thr setting spray sandwiching technique. Thanks for the tips in this video!

Skin care makes such a difference. I noticed that when I get lazy it really shows. Moisturizing my oil skin seems counter-intuitive but it actually help. Also just taking a break from wearing make up and giving your skin a breather There is also new foundations with skin care in it that seem to work better. But Wish Laura Mercier still made their loose powder foundation. Anyone know where i might be able to find it...specifically.. Looked everywhere and online. THANKS!

[@taylordanielson9632]

do you have any more affordable recommendations for a hydrating mist that is compatible with makeup? tatcha is out of my price range, and I've had varied results with other skincare mists. some of them seem to work with makeup, but others have totally ruined my makeup.
