you should all know by this point that i am make-up handicapped. i mean, i can apply the stuff just fine, but when it comes to knowing about products and what-does-what ....... i'm pretty clueless.
here's my current issue:
i was recently in connecticut visiting family for 9 days. during this time i decided not to wear any foundation at all. i found out (i hope this doesn't sound conceited) that i have really nice skin, starting at around the 4th "foundation free" day.
i suspect that either the foundation is clogging my pores, or it's the wear and tear of removing it every night. i have pretty sensitive skin after all.
anyway, although my skin looks really nice without foundation, it still needs a little "something" for work. so i'm considering using lighter products. also, lighter products show my freckles, and that might be nice for a change. people seem to like them.
that being said...
question #1:
has anyone used stila's illuminating tinted moisturizer? do you think this would work as a foundation alternative? with a light powder over top? is it too oily for every day use? any other products of this type you would recommend?
question #2:
i have never used a foundation primer before. would this mean i would have to use less foundation? or is the primer itself heavy on the skin, thusly making my objective pointless? i know smashbox makes a "light" primer. could i use this with a tinted moisturizer or (again) is that an oxymoron? i also remember hearing someone rave about a primer (i think) called "that girl" or "it girl" or...something. what's that all about?
so yeah.
clueless.
HELP!![]()
