Makeup that doubles as skincare, yes it?s possible. It used to be that skincare is what we did to counter the effects makeup can have on our skin, because although we love makeup, our skin sadly doesn’t.
Recently, Alicia Keys has been making a case for no makeup, walking red carpets with a bare face and looking gorge. Kim Kardashian West also went sans makeup at the Balenciaga show during Paris Fashion Week. Both women looked fab stepping out makeup-free; they credit a strict skincare routine for their flawless looks.
While we are not all blessed with perfect genes – or even have access to some of the creams, sticks, and cleansers available to celebs – there?s hope. Makeup companies are taking on a fresh skincare approach, making products that give color while also helping specific concerns, like acne or fine lines. We shouldn?t have to ditch our makeup bags for the sake of beautiful skin. Beauty and skincare go hand-in-hand. And now that makeup and skincare companies are moving toward bringing us products that are gentle, with skincare benefits, we can use our favorite foundations, lipsticks, and mascaras knowing we are doing some good for our skin.
