Sadly, I was not blessed with perfect skin…even at my age, I still get zits and all. I have tried so many different kinds of skin care and makeup, and the usual results were that they made my skin worse.
Part of my problem was that I hate heavy foundations, and I’d sooner skip wearing it on a hot day. But I really do need the coverage. My problem was solved when I discovered mineral makeup. There are a lot of companies out there that make it, such as Jane Iredale. You need to try different brands to see which one works best for you,
This stuff is amazing! You only need a little bit, you brush it on, and it covers up all of your zits and other imperfections. If you have especially bad skin, yeah, you need to use a little more. They also make special brushes for spot applications…say you have a rather nasty zit you need covered, you can apply extra coverage directly to the zit.
What’s really great is that it looks and feels like you’re wearing NO makeup at all! No more having to use a heavy foundation to get good coverage…that really heavy stuff is bad for your skin anyway. Also, they offer SPF protection, which is a must…especially for someone like me who burns easily. When I’d go out to ball games in the summer, I’d use the 20 SPF concealer under the regular 15 SPF foundation. It was comfy to wear, even in the hot sun, and I never got sunburn all summer.
So, if you are looking for new makeup to try, check out one of the many brands of mineral makeup out there. I swear by the stuff, and I will NEVER go back to traditional drugstore makeup!
