Getting the Perfect Base
Once you’ve primed your face, it’s time to get a gorgeous base to apply the rest of your makeup. If you have a lot of redness in your skin (and a green-tinted primer didn’t take care of all of it), it’s time to grab a color corrector. Think of a color corrector as a colored concealer. They come in a range of colors from orange, to purple, to even blue, but if you have redness, you want to grab a green one.
Blend a little bit of green color corrector anywhere you have redness. This will counteract the red and help even out your complexion. If you don’t have any redness, you do not need to use a color corrector.
Now that you’ve corrected, it’s time to put on your foundation. When applying makeup to acne-prone skin, you can also opt for a powder foundation or liquid foundation with acne-fighting ingredients that can help with healing breakouts.
Just as with primer, choose a formula that will work with your breakouts and not against them. It’s quite easy to find foundation formulas now that are designed for acne with ingredients to help fight breakouts, as well as being oil-free to keep your complexion looking fresh. Just as with the primer, use a brush or sponge to apply your foundation and wash the brush after every use.
