If there’s one beauty product I worry about using too much of, it’s foundation.
I pulled out all of my go-to products and got started.
I always useBenefit’s The POREfessional Pore Minimizing Primer, so I began with that.
It was a slimy mess.
And the worst part was that it got under my acrylic nails (yuck!
), but I was committed to the process.
I’m not going to lie: I looked scary and barely recognizable.
My lips andmicrobladed eyebrowswere covered in foundation and my face looked so flat it needed dimension.
It was smooth and all of my pores and blemishes vanished temporarily.
So Meredith Duxbury may very well be on to something.
But I wouldn’t do this routine every day.
You usea lotof product and I personally believe that this layering effect is just a waste of foundation.
However, if you are genuinely curious, give it a go.
But don’t get angry when you quickly run out of foundation.
