I’ve always been interested in makeup but I can never get into it! Mostly the hype and need for foundation and concealer a base I think it’s called turns it off me beacause its so sticky and makes me itchy. so I mainly stick to lip products or light eye products. Any tips on how to do makeup without them?

    You don’t have to use foundation. Or concealer. If you don’t like it.

    If products are making you itchy, there could be a sensitivity to it. Perhaps certain brands may work for you?

    If your preference is just makeup for eyes and lips- there is nothing wrong with doing just that.

      By itchy, she may mean that she can feel it so then she wants to itch, because it feels unnatural/uncomfortable. I can’t wear much makeup because it really is uncomfortable to me. I can do eye makeup (usually) and blush, but that’s about it. Which sucks, because my under-eyes could really use some concealer, and my forehead could probably use a little powder, but then I read that people my age or at least like as you get older, you’re not supposed to wear powder anymore.

      I haven’t consistently worn makeup since like…high school? I wore it daily then and it looked pretty decent. But now? I try to dapple and my patience isn’t there. The difference 20 years makes.

      But if it’s actually itchy, I agree with you.
