Nailing flawless, airbrushed-looking skin for your dating profile pic doesn't have to be as hard as actually finding a date. Just follow this foolproof advice from makeup artist Kristen Gallegos and your selfie won't even need a filter.

1. Prep your skin with an anti-shine primer. To tone down any shininess from your moisturizer, swipe an anti-shine balm down your T-zone. Model Jessica Pott used Revlon PhotoReady Prime + Anti-Shine Balm.

2. Apply your foundation in a cross formation. This way you have the majority of the formula on the center of your face, so you can blend it out toward the perimeter, leaving the most natural finish. Jessica used Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Effect Makeup in "Caramel" and applied the formula using a foundation brush, like the Revlon Foundation Brush.

3. Conceal any spots that need extra coverage. Swipe your fingertip over a stick concealer and pat three dots along your lower lash line (at the inner corner, center, and outer corner) and then one directly below the center dot. This helps cover any dark circles and brings the light toward your eyes, keeping them the focus. Jessica used Revlon PhotoReady Concealer in "Light."

4. Dust on a pressed powder in a T-formation to control shine, but keep your cheeks glowy. Jessica used PhotoReady Translucent Finisher.

Finally, apply your blush and add mascara — and you're ready! But first, take a selfie...
