Better bare, or at least bare-looking.

I've never worn liquid foundation. My mom never did either. We are more blush and mascara girls.







However, more recently, my skin has started to change. Hyper-pigmentation is the term for this change and for someone like me who hasn't had skin issues, it's a bit tough to take.

But I am still good to my skin. Better, for all intensive purposes, than ever before.

This is my daily face routine:

1. Wash with Purity cleanser by Philosophy (available at http://www.sephora.com/.)
2. Apply MMPi.20 Regenerating Serum by Dr. Wexler to face and neck (available at http://www.bathandbodyworks.com/.)
3. Apply Vinoperfect Day Perfecting Cream SPF 15 by Caudalie to forehead, cheeks and chin (available at http://www.sephora.com/.)
4. Apply SPF 15 Foundation by Bare Escentuals in Fairly Light (available at http://www.sephora.com/.) This is a powder foundation that you apply with a brush. I apply it to my forehead, under my eyes and on my upper cheeks.
5. Apply Luminizer by Stila to my forehead and under my eyes. (available at http://www.sephora.com/) This is a liquid brightener that has a reflective quality that works well over the powder, as the powder turns creamy on application.
6. Once or twice a week I use Sugar Face Polish by Fresh followed by all of the above. (See my previous post titled Aww, sugar.)

SPF 15 Foundation in Fairly Light by Bare Escentuals evens skin tone, doesn't sweat off and provides SP Factor, naturally. It's non drying and mixes with your moisturizer beautifully. It's $25 on it's own or you can get the starter kit for $60.
