Hummm...it's my honest opinion, that if you don't need foundation, you shouldn't wear it.
I went through a sort of foundation crisis... :) There is a sort of "flawless" look that I see around here now and again. It is flawless, but it is also slightly unnerving because it is flawless. Skin should not be entirely flawless. It's like seeing a body that is too perfect. It's great, but it's also a little unsettling.
I did mix my new Zia "Mica" foundation up with more TerraSport sunscreen and jojoba oil. Ah... It's better than the two foundations I was using before. The color is a bit more neutral. There is just a little bit of color in it, a little bit of coverage, and that's the way it should be.
I'm resisting using concealer. It's going to get to the point where I have to use it...but it's not there yet so I'm not gonna do it. :)
Now you, good grief, you are young. Sunscreen is good, a little coverage is good. You could probably get by with using only concealer and sunscreen or something like a tinted sunscreen. I wouldn't be in a hurry to cover up your skin.
Mine never got back to being perfect :) I still get clogged pores. That is mysterious...I still have no answer as to what's causing it. I'm not buying anything I've read about it. I did read somewhere that in the U.S., in the 1960's, 1 in 20 women got breast cancer. And now the statistic is 1 in 5. Hello? Something is going on. It's being suppressed.
However the solution is not to try to replicate perfect skin by using foundation. It just looks...like perfect foundation, not perfect skin.
Hey I love MAC too! For me it's the price, and the Back to MAC, that are so attractive as well as the overall quality and selection. I'm not in a hurry to expand my horizons. The most I'm thinking of, is that Nars Babylon duo. Iti's still in the back of my mind.
