I'm a male and I'm new to makeup (it's for photography). I've tried applying a primer (Smashbox Photo Finish) with a Mac foundation but I'm not getting the look I want. I don't know if it's the products or if it's just my skin, but I'm having quite the time getting the smooth, matte look I want.
My skin looks sort of like this:
But I want it smooth like this:
I exfoliate my skin and take really good care of it. It's smooth to the touch, but definitely not smooth in looks. It kind of looks like the rocky mountains on my face
I'm not sure if females just naturally have smoother skin and achieve the smooth/matte look easier than I. Maybe my skin is actually pretty much OK and I should just hang in there and I'll eventually get the hang of it with some experimentation and practice. Maybe?
