Schneider’s step is to find a primer that complements your skin and makeup. “I would invest in a primer, especially if you’re prone to oils,” she says. “That way, the foundation or whatever makeup you use can stick to that, not your skin’s natural oils.”
Fortunately, as you have noticed, there is a new wave of Functional primers It hits the market, so there’s no shortage of great formulas to test out.

my movement? Play with your textures hidden And the foundation. If you’ve ever spent time in the makeup aisle, you know formulas come from silky, thin, serum-like numbers to thick, full-coverage options. Use this variety to your advantage.

Whereas if you have texture concerns (such as acne scars), choose something with a certain thickness so that it helps smooth the skin.
