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?
So, I know many people who don’t use foundation. Some because they have great even toned skin, and others because they just don’t wear makeup.
And they look just fine.
