I have neutral undertones (or lack of undertones?) and the powder helps it not look weird too. <br /><br />I like the powder a lot. I'm on my 3rd one and that's damn near unheard of for me. I'm always buying new stuff and rarely repurchase something unless it's magic.

I really like how easy and quick it is to apply and it looks really natural. I have found that it breaks down pretty quickly, though, and it's not too patchy, but sometimes. I wish it held up better! Honestly I would much prefer a powder foundation, but it has to be pressed, because I can't stand the mess of loose powders.Lyn Bhbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081735635995970890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-81473203231714627192016-11-22T18:14:43.324-08:002016-11-22T18:14:43.324-08:00Thanks!

But I should take another look now, since I've heard a few recommendations for it.<br /><br />How do you like that powder? Reviews seem mixed. I'm going to need a new setting powder soon.Lyn Bhbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081735635995970890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-35541953106638093722016-11-22T18:13:21.340-08:002016-11-22T18:13:21.340-08:00I should try to get my hands on a sample of that o...I should try to get my hands on a sample of that one.

Lately I've been liking powder foundations though. You would think they would look even drier and highlight flakiness even more, but somehow they don't, I think because they sit more on top of the skin rather than sinking into everything. The one by It Cosmetics is decent, right now I'm using the one by Pur, which is a slightly better color match. You might give it a whirl. Oh, also throughout the day it lasts pretty well, and just sort of gets...lesser as it fades, no weird patchiness or breakdown which I like.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873079112057117092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-44481970932534779882016-11-20T19:19:41.300-08:002016-11-20T19:19:41.300-08:00From your photos, I think we have similar skin typ...From your photos, I think we have similar skin types and tones. I've been using this Dr. Jart BB cream for several months now and really like it. When I was pregnant I felt like death and had zero patience or fortitude for actual foundation. I smear it on like a moisturizer and set it with NYX Matte But Not Flat and it holds up like a dream. <br /><br />http://www.paulaschoice.com/beautypedia-skin-care-reviews/by-brand/dr-jart/_/Black-label-detox-BB-beauty-balm<br />Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062766972505626973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-63553360743865303272016-11-20T16:33:28.413-08:002016-11-20T16:33:28.413-08:00i wear foundation almost daily but in a veeeeery t...i wear foundation almost daily but in a veeeeery thin layer. like half a pump for my whole face. 1oz of foundation regularly lasts me multiple years. I use Lasting Silk, which makes my face look amazingly smooth and poreless but still lets slight imperfections through so it looks like (to me) that I just have skin like a baby's bottom naturally. of course it doesnt really work on zits or flaky bits. i usually focus more on my nose, nasolabial and chin area, so most of my cheeks and forehead are left quite free. i think it feels much nicer to wear foundations when you find a great, unfussy one for everyday.

I don't like to feel them all over my skin, and I don't want to have to worry about touching my face and messing them up. If they have fragrance, even worse, because I can smell them too. These two at least don't really feel (or smell) like anything.<br /><br />I think if you are happy without it, don't bother! And your skin always looks nice in your photos. Trying to find a match is a huge trial and potentially leads to buying a bunch of shit you don't really, really like. Definitely not worth it if you're not really into it.Lyn Bhbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081735635995970890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4241080681767360438.post-6885165120001745472016-11-20T16:21:23.520-08:002016-11-20T16:21:23.520-08:00I've never used foundation or tinted moisturiz...I've never used foundation or tinted moisturizer and don't see myself starting in the near future (though the Glossier skin tint is tempting). I always feel like I'm bragging when I say this, but I'm really not: I don't have perfect skin, I just don't like the thought of smearing makeup all over my face. Plus, I'm very pale with weird gray undertones and I have a feeling that finding a decent shade would be a massive pain in the ass.auxiliary beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02704228759091361669noreply@blogger.com
