Le maquillage du teint doit révéler la carnation au plus juste. Avec cette technique, le maquillage va sublimer la peau sans totalement la camoufler grâce à un travail de fusion des matières pour sentir le grain de peau tout en transparence. Cette technique vous permet d’obtenir un maquillage vivant et sensuel.

to feel the skin's texture
I think texture conveys the meaning of 'grain' well.

In that case, how about surface? Relief is another word I see a lot in this context. Or, suggest materials or ingredients instead of textures in the first phrase to your client.

: I think it refers to the beauty of the complexion "le grain de beauté sur la peau" = the mole

I don't think it is actually about FEELING the skin - more a focus on the PERCEPTION of skin texture
