Giving up on your go-to moisturiser before applying your makeup is a serious mistake or error of judgement. Yes, you should moisturise your skin often to guarantee moisture retention and give it a taut, tight appearance. Additionally, using moisturizer prior to applying foundation creates a smooth base that makes it easier for the product to adhere to your skin.

Have you reached your prime yet?

The next important step is to apply a coat of primer once you have given your skin the much-needed boost of moisture. We cannot stress enough how important a water-based primer is for giving those with acne or bumpy skin the ideal polished appearance. A excellent primer offers your skin a flawlessly smooth finish so that you can apply your foundation while also minimising pores and scars on your skin. Additionally, it locks up all of your day's work (which is important).

Foundation Post

It's time to apply foundation now that your skin has been prepared. When it comes to formulas, those with acne-prone skin should choose light, water-based, and non-comedogenic (items that don't clog your pores) foundations that won't smother their skin and worsen their acne. To establish a smooth base against any lumps or textures on your skin, apply your makeup with a stippling brush. We advise using a medium to high coverage product that offers you an immaculate finish and boosts your self-confidence if you struggle with acne scars.
