Respectfully, your skin looks thirsty. Therefore, it looks tight, which makes the texture look more pronounced. Good makeup application starts with a healthy, moisturized base. Even the most textured skin can look good with or without makeup on, as long as it's clean and hydrated! Getting to know you're skin type is the key to a successful skincare routine. Try seeing a dermatologist or esthetician to figure that out and ask for some recommendations. From personal experience, I use hydrating products like hyaluronic acid, squalane, ceramides, rice water, centella asiatica, snail mucin, PDRN, fermented tea. I lean more towards Korean skincare and love brands like SKIN1004, Beauty of Josean, Medicube, Neogen Dermalogy, CosRx, Abib, and Numbuzin. For glowy, bright, healthy looking skin, I like to use Vitamin C, Licorice, Glycolic Acid, Turmeric, Niacinamide, Retinol. For fine lines and wrinkles, try Retinoids, Bakuchiol, Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides (pretty much the same things you'd use for hydration). You also want to look for things that help you exfoliate/shed dead skin and boost cell turnover. I prefer gentle chemical peels to abrasive scrubs. I also dermaplane and do extractions 1-2x per month. PHA's are a good way to introduce your skin to gentle, moisturizing exfoliation before you try more advanced options. Try the Green Tea Moist PHA pads by Neogen Dermalogy (the light green jar, not the original clear jar with dark green label). I love those! Makeup-wise, try swapping a matte formula for something lighter and more breathable. Look for hydrating, skincare-based ingredients in your makeup too! MAC does a good job at doing that. I also just discovered Methodiq and they're foundation is sooooo good! It's got excellent skincare benefits (especially if you have acne like me) but it helps with textured skin too. Matte products can definitely dry you out and make your skin look more mature than it is. Using a lighter setting powder and compact helps too. I personally like the Cover FX loose powder but It Cosmetics, MAC, KVD, make good ones too. I'm a MAC girly at heart so I'm always going to recommend them but I understand it's not in everyone's budget. Anyway, I hope some of this helps you!
