The Foundation but not the Foundation

   

   So I have combination skin with very oily patches and one of the first thing I’ve learned was that for oily skin- contrary to logical belief- I needed more moisture. Go figure right.

   Here, we are going to pause on the makeup and talk about skin care. Woot! Woot! Just as important I think.

    Before I begin though, I realize that some of these things may not be readily available, this is just what I use and how I use it.

Alrighty, here we go…

 

   First things, if I’ve had a sweaty or makeup filled day, it’s time to cleanse gently. For ridding dirt and salt, just rinse thoroughly with warm water. Then pat dry. The only reason why I use warm water is because cold water makes me uncomfortable and unwilling to put it near my face ha.

 

    For makeup- for now- I’m favoring Hard Candy’s Take it Off lotion makeup remover. Which claims to remove glitter, waterproof mascara, eyelash glue and any other heavy duty makeup. Now I use this on my face after I’ve cleaned my eyes with Revlon’s Gentle eye makeup remover for waterproof mascara. Which it does!

 

 

 

Rinse with warm water and sprits with Lush Cosmetics Eau Roma Water Toner 

 

    As For pre-Makeup.

    I use Liquid foundation, more specifically, M.A.C.’s Matchmaster Foundation. It has a very matte finish and works with the natural oils of your face. So that means for the dry patches, unless I want to have a flaky face, I have to moisturize and protect.
