This is probably not the right place for this question but here goes.

Anyone stop wearing foundation? I’m considering it.

I’m 62, my skin looks good to me, sure texture lines age spots so what. I like the look of my skin with just a serum sunscreen and some moisturizer. I don’t have dark under eye to cover up, and my skin in even toned. I’ve added a Vit C serum and really like how it has brightened up my skin as well.

I’m not liking the way foundation looks on my skin any more, including skin tints. I’ve been matched a few times in the last year, tried a few different price points, at the moment all I own is Mac Face and Body radiant - I do use it when I feel I really need to look like I made an effort. Many high priced samples got tossed out too thick, cake face, or nothing there why bother for the water tints except my face felt sticky ick!

So today added blush, eyebrows and mascara done. I know this doesn’t sell product so no company is going to agree with me. I think it’s enough, saves my wallet and I just don’t get the slathering on make up to cover good skin to then have to add products to get color contour etc.

    I’m 51 and quit wearing it a few years ago. I wore it from the time I was pretty young and man it was a freeing feeling once I quit wearing it (even though formulations have advanced). I still have one tube of foundation just in case I have to have a headshot made or something but my skin is fair and now clear enough that foundation doesn’t make a lot of difference. I just use a little Mac skin finish powder to matte the shine. It’s so great to know that if you subconsciously rub your nose or face that you’re not messing up your makeup.
