Brilio.net - In the world of makeup, complexion is often the main key to creating a smooth and even facial appearance. Especially for those with acne-prone skin, the technique of applying foundation, concealer, and powder is usually done with extra thickness to produce a high coverage effect. The goal is clear, namely to disguise the texture, redness, and acne scars that are quite striking on the surface of the skin.
However, using a thick complexion does not always give perfect results. If not accompanied by the right technique, makeup can actually look "heavy," cakey, or even highlight active acne. This is a challenge often faced by makeup artists, namely how to balance between maximum coverage and natural results. It is no wonder that choosing the right product and smooth layering techniques are very crucial.
However, there are some makeup artists who choose to use a light complexion to make up acne-prone faces, one of which is Instagram user @selenamup. In one of the videos uploaded, this MUA actually proves that flawless makeup doesn't always have to be heavy. In making up a bride named Anastasia who has active acne-prone skin, she chose a light complexion technique, blending naturally with the skin, and the results were even more stunning than expected.

As reported by briliobeauty.net Instagram @selenamup on Friday (4/7), instead of piling up foundation, the MUA seemed to rely on color correcting techniques and choosing a base with a light texture but with buildable coverage. A touch of concealer was only applied to areas that really needed extra correction, while other parts of the face were left to "breathe." This technique not only gives a more natural impression, but also avoids the cakey look that usually appears if the product is piled up in layers.

The end result is simply stunning. Acne scars and redness are subtly blurred without losing the natural texture of the skin. Anastasia's face looks fresher, glowing, and realistic, like a smoother version of real skin. Even the cheeks and forehead that were previously full of breakouts now look smooth thanks to the right choice of products and very precise blending techniques.

This transformation is truly proof that "less is more" can work very effectively in makeup, even on severe acne-prone skin. The makeup used by the MUA does not change the character of the bride's face, but rather softens her appearance softly and gracefully. Not only is the bridal makeup beautiful, but it is also an inspiration that acne-prone skin can also look stunning without having to be covered up completely.
