As someone that is very pale with cool undertones, it’s tricky for me to find a foundation that actually works well. I currently use the Nars Oslo L1. At the same time, I don’t know if I actually need foundation; I’m fortunate to have mostly smooth skin and no blemishes. The only thing I’d say I’d need to cover is my under-eye circles, but that’s what concealer is for. The foundation works fine, but I find that despite it being very close to my skin tone, I still look super white and washed out even after I apply blush. Should I start using a bronzer? And is foundation really necessary in the end if my skin is overall clear?
I don’t use foundation anymore, unless it’s like a really fancy event I’m going to. Most of the time I just use concealer to fix the discoloration or the glossier skin tint which is super sheer but just helps with redness and stuff so everything is nice and even. If you’re worried about looking washed out though, I would recommend bronzer. I really like the Patrick Ta ones because they have a cream and power in the compact.
