Textured skin is completely normal—we all have pores, fine lines, or the occasional blemish. But when it comes to makeup, the goal is usually a smooth, flawless base without emphasizing texture. The good news? With the right PAC products and techniques, you can create a soft-focus finish that looks natural yet polished.
Step 1: Start with a Smoothing Primer
Prepping the skin is key. The PAC Pore Primer instantly blurs pores and smooths uneven skin, creating the perfect canvas for foundation. If oiliness is your concern, the PAC Oil Control Primer helps balance shine while keeping skin comfortable.
Step 2: Choose the Right Foundation
Heavy, cakey formulas can highlight texture. Instead, opt for the PAC Studio HD Liquid Foundation, which offers buildable coverage and a skin-like finish. Its lightweight texture blends seamlessly without clinging to dry patches or accentuating pores.
Step 3: Apply Concealer Strategically
Less is more when working with textured areas. The PAC Take Cover Concealer gives targeted coverage for blemishes and dark spots without adding unnecessary layers. For under-eyes, use sparingly to prevent creasing.
Step 4: Set with a Finely Milled Powder
Powder helps smooth and blur—but only when used correctly. The PAC HD Powder gives a soft-focus effect while controlling shine. Use a light hand and press powder in with the PAC Classic Sponge instead of sweeping it across the skin.
Step 5: Highlight with Care
Shimmery highlighters can exaggerate texture. Instead, try a subtle glow with the PAC Trio Glow Highlighter X3, applied only on the high points of the face.
Step 6: Lock It All In
Finish with the PAC Micro Finish Makeup Fixer to melt all the layers together, giving your base a natural, skin-like finish that lasts.
Pro Tips:
-
Always prep skin with moisturizer before primer for smoother application.
-
Use tapping instead of dragging motions to avoid disturbing textured areas.
-
Less layering = a more natural, flawless finish.
With PAC’s pro-quality primers, bases, and finishing products, you can master the art of acing your base—because textured skin deserves makeup that enhances, not hides.
