“A primer is a thin moisturizing serum that is the first step in a skin care routine,” Ellen Marmur, M.D., president and founder of Marmur Medical, explains, recommending water-based formulas. That's why finding a primer for acne-prone skin is optimal for prevention. But sometimes, they can clog your pores - which leads to breakouts, especially when you have sensitive skin. They're necessary because they lock in your base, help with oil control, and provide a smooth, crease-free finish. Leave yours.Primers are a necessary evil in the standard beauty routine. Product Spotlight: It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare / Originally published October 13th, 2020 There are 17 comments on this post. Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, No makeup on (yet) And here’s Tan Warm 42.5 applied with fingers and buffed down sightly with a skunk brush. Seems like they FINALLY figured out that not every “tan” or “medium” shade has to have a sh*t-ton of peach undertones, and both Tan Warm 42.5 and 41 are pretty good matches for warm skin with yellow undertones. Oh, and speaking of colors, I wear it in Tan Warm 42.5 (but will switch to Tan Warm 41 once my toasty summer tan disappears in month or two), and this is the first time I’ve ever been able to wear an It Cosmetics foundation without having to mix it with something else.
It’s available now at Ulta in 40 colors (hello, Fenty effect) for $39.50 each for a 1-oz. After months of barely wearing any base, I have absolutely no tolerance for face products that feel heavy, and this one feels like nothing at all. I wouldn’t go too heavy with it though because this foundation’s ability to look like real skin is its superpower, and using a whole mess of powder will just undermine that magic anyway.Īlso, it’s super lightweight, which I probably should’ve said right at the beginning, LOL! The formula is on the thinner side, much like Dior Nudeskin Air, so it’s featherweight and feels like nothing, which is actually the reason I started wearing it. I will say that if you’re extremely oily, you’ll probably want to set it with a light dusting of powder. Here’s the foundation in outdoor natural light. I think it also looks good where I have “experience lines.” Here it is in indoor natural light. It’s dry on my cheeks and around my mouth, and oily on my forehead and my nose, and this foundation handles all of the various areas well. Use it all by itself, and it stays put all day long (yup, even with a mask on).įor reference, I have combo skin. You don’t need a primer underneath it or a powder to set it, either. Then I quickly blend with a skunk brush, and that’s it. I do one pump, and then use my fingers to rub and work it in. Lazy ladies who still lurve wearing makeup now, this one’s for you, because there’s no trickery required to get it to look nice. If you want enough coverage to even out areas of pigmentation and redness, along with some minor pore blurring, but you don’t need to hide everything and the kitchen sink, it’s perfect.
Your Skin But Better Foundation + Skincare is a medium-coverage liquid foundation with a very natural looking matte finish. The eyeshadow is the Urban Decay Born to Run Palette the blush is Charlotte Tilbury Ecstasy and the lipstick is NUDESTIX Mystic, in case you’re wondering. It makes my skin look dayum good, if I do say so myself, AND IT FEELS LIKE NOTHING ON MY FACE! Here’s Tan Warm 42.5 in natural daytime light, without any powder or primer, with a 10-minute makeup look. It handles basically every lighting and photography situation I’ve throw it.
