🤦 My pores look more prominent when I only apply foundation… Is it just me?

Even though my skin condition isn't bad these days

Strangely, my pores look more prominent when I only apply foundation, so I'm worried.

Even if you apply a sufficient base and makeup, over time

I felt like the foundation was getting stuck in my pores.

So whenever I look in the mirror, I get unnecessarily self-conscious and feel upset because it seems like my makeup didn't look neat.

I tried using a primer and applying a thin layer of foundation, but I didn't feel as much of a difference as I expected.

Sometimes it actually looks like it's applied too thickly, so lately I've been debating whether or not to wear makeup.

Has anyone else experienced their pores looking more prominent when they only apply foundation, like me?

I'm curious how you do your makeup in cases like this.

Please let me know if you have any tips or product recommendations to make pores look even slightly less noticeable!
