Does anybody here NOT use foundation??

[MAC_Pixie04]

And if so, what are you using instead??

I've found myself foundation free for over a week now, and I don't think I wanna go back lol. My skin looks and feels so much better. I haven't used anything more than primer, concealer, TM and/or powder in the last almost 2 weeks and I think I might keep this up, for my wallet's sake as well as that of my face.

I personally hate foundation. When I first got into makeup I thought I needed it cuz everyone at MAC wore it. I wore it everyday for a week straight n I hated the way my skin looked without it. Mind you I have clear skin not oily not dry.

I stopped wearing foundation and I've been on the same bottle for two years now, I don't really use it. The only time I do wear it is if I'm going out to a party were imma be dancing. My cheeks get super red when I'm dancing haha.

I've stopped using foundation since I found Dark MSF. All I do now is put concealer over dark spots and buff the msf on. Just make sure to use a moisturizer with spf if you're going to skip it altogether.

I don't use foundation. At most, I'll use Laura Mercier oil-free TM. And that, only if I've got a primer to wear underneath, otherwise it's kind of a pain to blend. I have a sample of the Smashbox primer, and I really like it... It makes it so easy to blend things on my face.

I have not used foundation in years and I don't have perfect skin by any means. I use moisturizer, concealer and powder and I'm good to go. Don't go back to foundation now that you are free of it.

i've just been wearing concelor and powder lately

I don't use foundation.....I was always afraid of makeup and when I started wearing it, I vowed I would not wear foundation. I wear a mattifying moisturizer and Double Defense Sunscreen from Somme Institute. I have a couple spots on my cheek that I cover with concealer and I wear my mineral powder on top. That's it.

I don't wear foundation or concealer. I just hate the way it feels on my face.

I put some primer on my cheeks so my blush/msf/whatever stays on.

 

[Kiseki]

I use tinted concealer, tinted moisturizer and depending on my mood or wanted look, I'll use powder.

I used to be obsessed about wearing foundation, right now, I just think I look surreal and waxy.

On special ocasions like parties, I wear Studio Mists. If I'm taking pictures, I'll use Makeup Forever's Mat-Velvet, but I have this urge to immediatly take it off.

I have oily skin, with the ocasional discoloration, my worst problem are my dark circles.

I don't use foundation cause I hate the way it feels on my skin. I have worn it in the past just to try it out but I hated the cakey feeling on my skin. That was so long ago, I don't even remember when that was lol. The only thing I use is concealer and blot powder for my oiliness. That's it...

I usually wear tinted moisturizer to work since im working doing stage makeup and want to look somewhat put together haha.

I apply the tinter moisturizer then add some Light MSF powder over since the moisturizer tends to be shiny after that i usually add a very light ammount of a Smashbox softlight over my cheek area. Then some mascara and a little bit of eyeshadow probably just one color since im usually in a rush.

Ive been trying to stay good so far by wearing a bit of makeup everyday but the longer i work the less and less makeup i wear i have a feeling im going to be down to some powder on my face and mascara soon haha

 

[Miss Pumpkin]

Me!!!! I hate hate hate foundation. I only use a bit of translucent compact powder instead, to even out the skin a little and make blush apply more smooth...

 

[d_flawless]

i actually did the opposite - i stopped with powder. just a sheer coat of foundation and my skin looks so much better, probably because i was using studio fix. this is a good thread though, because i'm also curious to hear about people's experiences w/o it.

 

[Miss Pumpkin]

I just feel so strange with foundation after a while... Maybe I haven't found the right one yet... But the other day I put on foundation to try and look flawless and stuff ( I was going to MAC so I got all done up for the occasion, hahaha) and then I went to Uni. Well at around 2pm I looked in a mirror and automatically asked a friend for a tissue to wipe it off... I felt like I was all sweaty and yuck!!!

 

[iamlelilien]

I don't wear any face makeup. I'm sure my skin would look better with it, but I really don't like the way it feels and I don't like not being able to touch my face for fear of smudging it...

 

[caffn8me]

On a day to day basis I just wear a few blobs of Select Cover concealer. If I'm actually doing a full makeup on myself I'll wear a foundation - either Studio Fix Powder or Face & Body unless my skin is going through a bad patch in which case I'll use Studio Tech. Sometimes I'll just use Avant Gold MSF.

 

[L0VELY]

I don't wear foundation at all. I only wear concealer, and sometimes, I'll wear tinted moisturizer. I don't feel like it's necessary for me to wear foundation, and I just don't like the way my skin feels when I try it.

 

[Bernadette]

Me me me. I own foundation and I'll wear it once in a blue moon. If you don't need it, why bother? That's the way I look at it.
Oh, I do like to use my smashbox primer sometimes even if I don't use foundation over it. I think it gives a pretty glow

 

[noahlowryfan]

i wear foundation because i am used to wearing foundation but maybe i should try to just wear tinted moisturizer and concealer. i have notice that after wearing foundation for a few hours, my skin started to get dry patches on my cheeks and nose area.

 

[stevoulina]

I usually wear tinted moisturizer, because I like the lighter feel it gives!So, tinted moisturizer, then concealer on spots etc and then finish with powder!
