My cheeks are dry, so my makeup cakes and my pores are more visible.

Lately, whenever I apply makeup, my cheeks feel dry and cakey, and my pores look even more emphasized, so I am inquiring about a skin booster.

Even if I try to fully absorb my basic skincare products and apply a thin layer of cushion, it is fine only for the first few hours; by the afternoon, my cheeks become dry and the base looks patchy in places.

In particular, the area extending from the sides of the nose to the inner cheeks looks rougher because it feels like makeup gets stuck in the pores.

Using primer temporarily covers pores but doesn't resolve dryness, and exfoliating often leaves my skin feeling even tighter the next day, so I can't do it frequently. Even looking at photos of my skin, you can see both the pores and the dry texture.

In this case, would it be better to improve internal dryness and skin texture first rather than directly managing the pores? I am wondering if improving skin condition with a skin booster can also reduce makeup creasing and clogging of pores.
