It’s Back to Liquid Foundation Again…
Well, I do like the lightness and ease that is provided by using the Bare Minerals, or maybe even other mineral makeup, however, I realized that I just need better coverage in the winter, when my skin tends to get a little more unevenly toned, and also tends to show a lot more imperfections like any leftover scarring or temporary scars if I had any minor little breakouts from stress or that dangnabbed caffeine that I can’t seem to stay away from.
So, I switched back to my liquid foundation mixed with the Revlon Skinlights which I think I talked about not too long ago, because it was being discontinued when I went to purchase it online after not finding it in stores that I usually had no problem finding it in. I just use a simple, lighter foundation for the winter, and make sure that it’s not going to make me look “two toned” and my neck a lot lighter than my face, so I try to get a lighter shade of foundation than I would normally use say in the summer or spring, when I might naturally have a bit more color from self tanning.
This time I chose to go with L’Oreal foundation in a lighter formula, but also formulated for maturing skin, since I didn’t want anything that would settle into my crow’s feet that have formed around my eyes since I turned thirty. It is noncomedogenic still as well, I did make sure to check that, but it is formulated with an ingredient that is also good for acne, which is hyaluronic acid, because it can help the skin turnover a little more rapidly, and contributes to a more evened out look to the skin.
I think as long as a foundation that is also anti aging in nature is ok, as long as it does not contain a lot of mineral oil, which can be a major pore clogger. Also, you might want to make sure the consistency isn’t too thick, as this can indicate it may clog your skin and make for not so clear pores!Â
