My skin had only gotten worseeven after switching foundations over and over again.
So, I decided to try going without it.
(Makeup tutorials are still one of my favorite forms ofASMR, after all.)
And foundation, unfortunately, seemed to usually just make my skin worse.
At first, my move to ditch foundation left me feeling exposed and a little embarrassed.
So I leaned more heavily on concealer to make my deep cystic acne along my jawline feel less prominent.
But, over the next year, I gradually saw those cysts disappear.
Of course, its hard to say what really made a difference.
But I was still dealing with occasional breakouts, especially around my nose and cheeks.
Today my skin is generally what I would call clear.

It also has SPF 30, which of course I love.
This is a liquid-y concealer that sets with a matte finish, even on my oily T-zone.
The doe foot applicator also makes it easy to use as an eye makeup primer.
However, I do wish there were a few more shades to choose from.
