It has been a while since I have been brave enough to face the world without at least a thin veil of foundation to hide my skin, but recently I have really embraced the natural look.
I am most certainly not saying that I am done with foundation, I love it for it’s skin-perfecting abilities. But sometimes it is nice to go foundation free.
My ideal powder. Keeps me matte, but without looking chalky. My only complaint/request with this one is that I wish MAC would bring out a mirrored compact version so it was easier to touch up over the day. I currently use the light shade but thinking of getting it in medium for summer.

All products except those marked with a * were bought by myself.
cute! you look very healthy looking, perky skin and flushed cheeks =D
you should get a sample of the lush colour supps, im really liking it. its so easy to apply, u can mix it with your moisturiser or use it as a foundation and it just looks like your skin but butter.
more FOTDs please!

I love it, the hint of colour on your cheeks looks fab. I need to start embracing the natual-look but I don’t think I’m quite brave enough – maybe in the summer when I get a bit of colour (other than red!).

I wish I could pull off the natural look, but I think I’d be forever concealing thanks to lots of small, red, old acne scars – bleuch!
You look gorgeous though, nice skin looks so much better without foundation.
You look really summery there! I totally agree with DINKY – if you’ve got good skin then it always looks better without foundation.
Sadly I don’t have good skin, so I can’t get away without foundation – wish I could!

This is funny – I’ve been doing pretty much the same thing recently, although I have been using tinted moisterizer that I mixed up myself. I just wear foundation now when I’m going out at night. I guess it doesn’t help that right now I hate all my foundations but refuse to buy new ones!
