Try this at home
C has long been a huge fan (proof here) of Neutrogena's Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup, which-- on my skin atleast-- has always looks thick and has refused to blend well. And don't think we haven't argued over my not liking it for years now. But recently, C and I were shopping in Boston (yes, in Walgreens, but sometimes it's nice to see what other cities have to offer in drugstore makeup) and we saw Neutrogena was having a buy one/get one half off sale. Which, let's be honest, is basically a siren call. So C got another bottle of her usual and I decided to try the brand's SkinClearing Oil-Free Liquid Makeup, hoping it might even just the tiniest bit improve my skin. I figured, if nothing else, it contains salicylic acid, one of the main acne-fighting ingredients. And so to the register we went (naturally, with other products in hand, too).
And so after a week of use, my skin looked noticeably less blemish-y. I almost didn't want to credit the foundation, but nothing else in my routine had changed. And it doesn't even dry my face out, as one might suspect a product with salicylic acid in it would. And while the makeup doesn't blend as well as my go-to Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse foundation, it's still sort of a no-brainer in terms of which to use more often. It definitely doesn't give an airbrushed effect like the Maybelline, but I am happy to save that bottle for special events or going out. Neutrogena, you have finally passed my test. I'd also like to point out here that when I told my mom I really liked the foundation, she said her dermatologist (also my own) told also recommended Neutrogena to her years ago. So with that in mind, when I ran out of powder, I quickly purchased the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Pressed Powder. Color me a believer.
