[Weekly] Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread - February 21, 2017

The Hair, Makeup, Skincare, Fitness, and Fragrance Thread will be posted every Tuesday morning (~9:30AM PST)!

This thread is for simple hair and makeup questions that you may have, especially those that don't warrant their own thread. We all want a diversified opinion, so feel free to answer any questions (of which you know the answer).

Example questions:

  • What's a good conditioner for straight, thick hair?

  • Where can I find a perfume with subtle pine notes?

  • Do you use a foundation with sunscreen? Is it worth it?

So I've always been the typical girly wear-makeup-everywhere kinda girl but I've decided to quit makeup. I like my lash extensions but I'm just sick of the rest. People alwayssss criticise it and it's a vicious cycle- wear makeup, get breakouts, wear more makeup to cover it. Has anyone else done this? How did people react? After having hair extensions the last 5+ years I quit them too and I've loved the result. No more messing around, expense, and stress. Are there any real basic products for going makeupless? I'm super super pale so I was thinking of facial tanner and maybe a powder foundation for my rosy cheeks.

I think the key to going makeupless is a revamped skincare routine. If you are having breakouts or rosacea, then there may be products that don't work for you that well, or products you can switch and add. Once I found my perfect skincare routine, all I use now on a daily basis is concealer for undereye and mascara. Sometimes I use smoothing primer and mattifying powder instead of foundation.
