I always start with a primer as I have oily skin and large pores. I feel a smoothing pore filling works so well to give me that non textured looked. Then I look for a matte foundation with a loose powder. I like to bring my face back to life using bronzer and blusher. I tend to use my bronzer as eyeshadow too. Depending on how I'm feeling I may use liner or just hot the eyes with mascara.
