Ok so I'm looking for a new foundation because the ones I've been using don't look well on my skin. I went to get some samples to sephora so I've been trying quite a few but now I see is my skin is the problem not the foundations.when I apply it creases and you can see my pores I hate it =/, but not huge open pores just like tiny covered bumps pretty much I know for the foundation to look well on top your skin has to be good in the bottom.what can I do different moisturizer, face wash or what? what do you girls recommend?

Hello lline, perhaps you could you could use a richer moisturiser prior to foundation or purchase a really good primer. The primers will adhere the foundation to your skin. I hope this helps

Anything that contains salicylic acids could help w the acne. also alpha hydroxy acids can help w the texture. look at into the products alpha hydrox has its a really good line

Try adding a retinol cream or serum as well. both the aha and retinol w help w the lines. try using a primer under your foundation as well.

Ok so urban decay has this spray that is a primer spray, it takes away redness and makes the pores smaller, I highly recommend that and the POREfessional by benefit, it's a face primer as well and it shrinks your pores till they are practically invisible

I agree about adding a retinol cream for the lines and a primer to help with foundation settling into pores etc. that makes a big difference for me.

It's good to apply makeup on a clean face and exfoliate at least once a week. I usually put moisturizer on and wait a few minutes than apply a primer! When I wear liquid foundation, primer is a must! Also, the brush you use can make a difference in how it looks. Don't forget to set your foundation! Translucent powder will help diminish large pores and fine lines as it'll fill it in for a soft look.
