Texture issues are most often caused by your own skin. To alleviate unwanted textures, it is important that you are taking good care of your skin. So proper skincare is essential.
Moisturize Daily: As discussed under pre-application points.
Exfoliate 2-3x a Week: You should also be exfoliating once or twice a week. Exfoliating your skin removes stubborn bacteria and unwanted dead skin cells. This will help give you a nice and healthy surface. Let me know if you need some recommendations. Use an exfoliator twice a week and you’ll notice that your skin is extra smooth and healthy!
Shave Your Face: We all have varying degrees of peach fuzz on our face. It’s normal. But peach fuzz adds unwanted texture that affects the way your makeup goes on and the way skincare products absorb into your skin. Using a facial razor will remove unwanted hair and further exfoliate your skin by removing dead skin cells. This will leave you with an extra soft and smooth surface. So, commit to shaving your face with a facial razor a few times a month. And before you start worrying about your hair growing back thicker and darker, let’s just myth bust that right now! It won’t — I pinky swear! But what you will notice is a huge difference in the way your skin looks and feels! And your makeup application will be better than ever! Just trust me on this one.
Use a Microfiber Cloth: When you wash your face at night, use a Microfiber Cloth. These cloths are gentle but also extra effective at grabbing the makeup, sweat, and dirt from the day, and will help your skin get extra clean! Please do not use makeup face “wipes” on your skin. While some people swear by them, dermatologists don’t consider them the best choice for removing makeup. The chemicals and makeup wipes can cause irritation and abrade the skin especially for those with dry or sensitive skin. Wipes can also leave residue on the skin that needs to be cleansed off. Most wipes contain fragrances, parabens, and high alcohol content. Do yourself a favor make a better choice for your skin.
Try a Different Highlight Shade: If all else fails, and you’re still noticing texture on your face after you apply your makeup, you may want to try a different highlight shade. When your highlight color is too light, you will notice that any natural textures on your skin (fine lines, wrinkles, pores, dry patches, etc) are emphasized. Your makeup might even have a chalky appearance and look like it is breaking apart and separating on your skin. When this happens, you should try using a highlight shade that is one or two shades darker. I can help you with this as well.
