I dont’ wear foundation on a normal basis, even when I was working/going to school I wore it very rarely…saved it mostly for parties or days I wanted to dress up…so lately i started noticing that on days when I wear foundation, my skin looks bad without it…if I leave it bare for a few weeks it looks great (well to me it does). thus I have to use it again and again.
Btw I use mac’s cream compact (forget the name of it).
Does this happen to you ladies?
Re: that vicious cycle of foundation
I only wear make up at weddings and I suffer horrible spots after wearing foundation for only 1 day. It was quality Chanel foundation too paid £35 for it, I thought if I spent a lot it would be better for my skin, but 2 weeks later I still look like a recovering leprosy patient.
Re: that vicious cycle of foundation
Chanel makes me look grey. :(
Sara, you're right about the foundation bit. If I leave my skin alone, it starts to look fine on its own and then I go to a party and wear some. Then the next day, just a little bit. Then the next day just a little bit more. And by the end of the week, Im back where I started. :(
Re: that vicious cycle of foundation
This is why I try to barely wear any :( The only time I wear it is for parties, weddings etc.
Re: that vicious cycle of foundation
Tried mineral makeup?
Is it that you breakout after using it or your skin looks better with foundation....?
Re: that vicious cycle of foundation
No I don't break out but I think i begin to notice the flaws much more... I'm pretty sure its all in my mind, it just looks bad "naked" after a few days of wearing it..but looks better when left alone for a few weeks.
