Brilio.net - Acne-prone skin is often a challenge when you want to look flawless with makeup. Uneven skin texture, redness, and acne scars often make the complexion look less smooth. Not infrequently, the makeup results actually look grayish because the color of the acne scars is not perfectly covered, as if the makeup clashes with the natural skin color.

To cover all those imperfections, many people end up using a lot of foundation. The goal is of course to completely cover the acne and its scars. But instead of looking smooth, the result is too thick and cakey, especially if it is not blended with the right technique. The makeup looks heavy on the skin, not blending naturally.

In fact, the solution to keep acne-prone skin looking fresh with makeup is not to pile on products, but to understand the right application techniques. Choosing the right base makeup, using concealer strategically, and giving the product time to blend can produce a much smoother and more natural lookwithout having to feel heavy on the face. Not only that, using a cushion as a base is actually enough to make acne-prone skin naturally smooth.

This has been proven directly by Instagram user @naomilane_makeup. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using cushion to make up girls with acne. However, so that the results can be more flawless and cover acne scars perfectly , she uses two thin layers of cushion. Who would have thought, the results are truly amazing because the skin looks naturally smooth like the results of treatment at the clinic.

The secret is in the right way to apply the cushion . Instead of being pressed thickly all over the face, the cushion is only layered thinly gradually, then smoothed using a puff with a gentle tapping technique. Plus, the complexion is built on well-prepared skin (such as through proper skincare and compression), makeup can look neat and blend smoothly with the skin.
