To have underestimated a lovely bb cream or tinted moisturiser?

[Wellwouldyoulookatthat]

I never go out of the house without a full made up face. Just never have. Prob harks back to having terrible skin when younger.

Nearing 40 now. 3 young kids but always spare myself a quick 10 mins for a full foundation, concealer, powder, eyes, mascara and lips of a morning. No longer than 10 mins. Have just become v adept at it over the years.

BUT - just realised this sheer face is really nice. Nothing but tinted bb moisturiser and little concealer under eyes.

Maybe it's just a summer thing but it feels so nice, easy and the way to be.

Anyone else just stopped their full face of make up and found a lovely base to work with?

I used the garner bbc tinted moisturiser with a little estee lauder concealer.

I haven't worn foundation for years and only wear BB cream if 'going out', it's the only time I go the whole hog. I'm lucky as I have quite nice skin. My day to day is a touch of under eye concealer, liner and bronzer.

I spent all my adult life until I turned 40 wearing lots of make up. I would never leave the house without at least eye makeup. Then I turned 40 and decided life was too short. Now I only put on a bit of makeup if I'm going to dinner or a party or something like that. The rest of the time I wear not a single bit of makeup at all. It feels amazing not to care about it anymore. I reckon if people don't like the way I look makeup-free, they can just look away lol.

Just a smidge of Nivea tinted moisturizer today and mascara and 2 compliments on school run :)

Never used to get this when I was in full corporate mode with lots of make up.

Amazing what giving up your well paid job you’ve worked years for can do :) :)

The home bargains one is in a brown tube called ‘pure ‘ normally sold next to skin creams/cleansers etc.Sorry for late reply!

Oh me! I have terrible rosacea and was using some HEAVY concealer until I ran out and the shop assistant recommended this tinted primer which does the SAME THING but without being heavy.

Life-changing!

Can you tell us the brand gwenneh?

Yes! It's Stila's one step correct.

Used to love the sheer cosmetics bb cream. Just as good as more pricier brands, but as is the way they stopped making it..

Brilliant Thankyou I will have a look on Monday thanks

I used to used no 7 bb cream then mum brought me cc version by mistake - I prefer it much better as doesn't sit.in the lines

gwenneh have you tried Soolantra cream for your rosacea? I've just started using it and I'm seeing results already.

It's a prescription cream although you can get it online.
