No more foundation

[theburbs90]

I've worn foundation all my life, has bad skin when I was younger the foundation was to hide the imperfections. Post lockdown and no longer wear it after 23ish years. Its a massive game changer for me. I now just put bronzer on, it looks so much nicer but I feel naked and not 'made up ' without my foundation on

I use a BB cream or CC cream which helps me feel like I've got my face on. It just gives me a more even skin tone and look a bit less grey!

I'm similar OP, apart from about 4 yrs down the line. I would go on holiday, not wear foundation, my skin would clear and I would come back and just use bronzer until my tan faded and the foundation would come back out and my skin would get worse again.

Until one year, I decided not to use foundation day to day and stick with just bronzer. I now only use a light one (Chanel vitalumiere aqua) a few times a year. My skin is brighter and clearer. Genuinely the best skincare decision I have ever made.

What about a dab of brightening primer? Like the Benefit Porefessional in the pink tube?

It's benefit porefessional pearl. It's got great reviews too.
