Foundation: Hate or love?
I personally feel like my face is heavy when I wear foundation, and I don't see much point in wearing it now my skin is clear.
I used to have terrible acne, so I'd slather on loads of foundation, which didn't help and probably made me look more disgusting.
Now, I just use a dab of green tinted concealer when needed, MEMEME powder and a little secret to make me radient.
Even though I use thease products, I do believe that radient skin lies not in what you slather on it, but on your cleanse and care routine.
At night, I use Lush's Angels on Bare Skin, which is a gentle exfoilient, before I go to bed. In the morning, I use Simple cleansing lotion, mineral water as a toner to remove remaining cleanser, and then Simple light moisturiser, with a few dabs of a rather more expensive SPF moisturiser along areas that catch the sun. My skin stays clear and soft.
But anyway, back to foundation.
If you have to wear it, I'd reccomend a light one, applied with clean fingers. That's just me, I prefer the bare-skin look, apart from on Halloween. Sponges can give an artificial look and require cleaning at least once a week for optimum performance.
And of course, your foundation should match your skin tone. I hate how lots of teens wander around with a mask of two shades too dark foundation on, thinking they look tanned. If you want to look tanned, use a good, suitable shade of bronzer on your cheekbones, nose, chin and temples. The places where the sun will catch basically.
There is a girl in my school who says, 'I'm not going to spend eight pound on a foundation and not let anyone know I spent the money on it'. She looks like an idiot. The foundation company didn't spend hundereds manufacutring a product designed to look natural for you to shove it on with a bucket.
So, do you wear foundation? When and why? What would you reccomend? What about application?
Btw: I can't help but give out advice. Lot's and lot's of it. biggrin
