So...it is the END of NO-FOUNDATION-FEBRUARY!
What have I learned from this, erm, rewarding experience?
Well, for starters, I've learned that doing my everyday make-up is super fast when there's no foundation involved, as I spend ages blending it usually.
I've learned that people can't tell when I'm wearing foundation or not (hardly anyone noticed I wasn't wearing foundation!)
I've learned that it's worth investing in a good highlighting concealer for those foundation-less days.
I've learned to value the importance of blusher.
Ditto lipstain.
Ditto mascara!
I've also learned that foundation DOES NOT CAUSE SPOTS. Well, not for me at any rate, as my skin has stayed the same through the month, even getting worse than usual at some points. Maybe foundation acts as a kind of barrier against bad stuff?
To conclude, I know I've learned a lot from No-Foundation-February. It's been eye-opening in some ways; I know now that people genuinely don't care about the way I look and my awful skin exists mostly in my head (aside from the SPOTS that clearly do exist!). I also know that I can accept my skin without foundation and that I don't need to spend twenty minutes on my make-up to feel I look acceptable.
(picture from the beginning of Feb! Not too bad, right?)
Could you live without foundation? Or is it inconceivable that I should be so attached to it, still? Let me know!

Mh before reading your blog I vaguely knew of foundation's existence, so I think I can live without it ;) I am glad you realise that your skin is not completely awful and that it doesn't make too much of a difference to other people so I think that's a lot of pressure gone. That said it's ok for you to still use it as long as you don't feel you have to at all cost. My point is that you're a pretty girl, so don't let make up take all the credit for that, but at the same time you can play around with what you got and highlight it, I guess that's the idea right?
