Foundation: To Use or Not to Use?



That is the question!

There are quite a few products that simply complete a look. Even on days when I'm in a rush, I always try to fill in my brows, apply a coat of mascara to my lashes, and pop a moisturizing tinted lip balm on my lips. Certain products or steps are what make a certain look complete. Foundation, however, is NOT a must-have.

In a world of beauty, where you can find any makeup look with a search in Google or YouTube, it's easy to get caught up in the hype, or even the steps. Regardless of which steps each person takes first, there are always key elements in each video to complete these looks, and although the looks come out wonderfully, this often leads most watchers or readers thinking if they don't do those steps the look won't come out the same. The fact of the matter is, depending on your skin, you can skip a major step: Foundation.

There are likely those out there with skin blemishes or discoloration who are screaming at me now, but rest-assured I am not telling you to give it up (although it could only help, allowing your skin to breathe). If you have minor skin discoloration, or just a blemish here and there, this advice is for YOU! It's easy to feel like you have to do a full face of foundation to even out your skin, but you don't! As long as you have a matching concealer you can simply cover your blemishes or discoloration, making sure to blend out the edges, set your whole face with powder, and you're set! This will help out your skin, because come on, why would you want to add more layers to your skin than what's necessary?
