Going Bare...
Just a few years ago I got nothing but compliments on my skin.In all honesty I never really thought about it,I wasn't doing anything special it just was what it was. In high school I had break outs and oily skin,but after high school my skin was pretty much okay.
After having nothing but trouble with my skin for the past few years I thought back, what was I doing then that I am not doing now? I use to get told how my skin looked like a porcelain doll it was so flawless. I want those compliments again, about a year ago I started getting cystic acne,and breakouts that I hadn't gotten in years. Thanks to Pro-Activ my skin is better but its not flawless or half as glowing as it was back then.
Okay Okay so the difference you may be wondering is I changed my foundation routine. I started really getting into Youtube,and watching all these videos.People saying I don't wear mineral makeup I only use Nars.MUF,Mac or whatever it may have been but it was liquid. Although I was a makeup artist with an array of liquid I stuck with mineral for myself. I became a chemist of sorts,mixing brands,concealers,foundations,primers and so on. I stuck my Bare Minerals in the back of the drawer and never looked back. I have tried several mineral foundations and it just didn't cover up my new acne scars.
I have some time off from work,no weddings or photo shoots this week so I am letting my face be bare. If I wear makeup I am going to wear my mineral foundations, or concealers. I have a full container of Bare Minerals Matte that I have used once, however I can already tell that its not the same as the Original formula. I will probably place an order on Sephora for that so I can go back to exactly what I was using. I will let you know how this works out for me, I know my face will love some fresh air.
Do you like mineral makeup? Has watching youtube or beauty blogs persuaded you to change your beauty routine?

I also used Bare Minerals for years!! I stopped because it was irritating my face and sinking into the lines and pores on my face BUT I think that it had to do with me using the Matte formula and also the Bare Minerals brushes. I also was seeing all of these beauties looking SO flawless in their liquid foundation...and I think that also had a bit to do with it! You are making me want to go back to Bare Minerals!! Hahaha...
