Putting on makeup is one of the greatest joys in my life, but I absolutely hate wearing foundation. Sure, I love how it gives me a clean, flawless canvas to work off of. However, my oily skin completely rejects any one I use by 1 p.m. It ends up looking like a greasy mess. So, on the weekends I like to skip foundation altogether. My skin has a tendency to be problematic, though, so relying on a skin-care routine doesn't always work for me. Some days, I need a little something extra that isn't a foundation.
A Redditor who goes by Sass-quatch_Mcgee asked the MakeupAddiction subreddit what the "best 'don't want to wear foundation today' products?" are. "I know this is MakeupAddiction, but I don't always like foundation," she explains. "So I was wondering if y'all have any fave products that either work without foundation or boost/even your skin." Almost 90 people chimed in with their skin-perfecting product suggestions and you could bet I took notes. Because I'm feeling generous today, I'll let you take a peek at them.
