I can’t remember the last time I reached for a foundation, I have nothing against them but this year has been an eye opener for me. I’ve found that with a good concealer I can go in and cover up “imperfections” without having to pile on loads of foundation in areas I don’t need to. In this heavily saturated contour world we live in it’s hard not to get sucked in I know, but there is nothing wrong with enhancing natural beauty. People stereotype and think that that particular style is the only way to wear makeup, it just isn’t realistic for the everyday girl.
- Your Skin Looks Like Skin – I’ve noticed a tremendous difference with how foundation lays on the skin vs. tinted moisturizers. There is less settling in fine lines, pores and it truly looks like your skin but better. TM’s even you out and if you have spots or pigmentation you can do some pin point concealing.
- 5 Min Routine – Fingers are the best tools for working in lighter bases. Not only does the warmth of your finger tips help emulsify the base but it can be done in just a few minutes. With thicker fuller foundations you have to sit there and really work it in with a sponge or brush making sure it isn’t cakey at all which I (a mommy of 2) have no time for.
- Overall Consistency & Texture – I hate when it feels like I have something heavy on my face. TM or CC creams almost feels like it’s a part of my skin care routine. I don’t have to worry about my base rubbing off on my clothes or someone else’s, I can’t stand when that happens! I want my skin to have a healthy sheen and heavy liquids/powders don’t allow me to achieve that type of finish. Foundations now feel like masks to me and I’ve said in the past, less is more…
