Do you wear the same foundation all year around??

Question

If so, is this a good idea? If not, what type do u use in the summer versus winter or in the day versus night. thanks

Answer 1

Yup! It's called sweat.

Answer 2

I don't usually wear foundation, but I generally have 2 shades on hand. I use a slightly darker one in summer when I have a little more colour (even though I always use sunscreen) and a lighter for winter.  I've just switched to a mineral powder foundation and really like it.

Answer 3

I use a translucent powder by clinique, its really good because if i get a tan in summer, then you can still see it through the powder

other than that i just add a bronzer in summer, and a rosy blush in winter :)

Answer 4

i use a darker shade in the summer

because i get tan/darker really easy,

so it would look really cakey and weird if used the later shade in the summer.

;]

Answer 5

Yea, but depending on the season, I'll make my skin tanner with like a bronzing powder.

Answer 6

i'll use makeup for like 6 months then buy new...it really sucks bad tho cos i use so little...that i hardly end up using even like i don't even make a dent in it...

Answer 7

I tone it down during the summer and use a lighter foundation.. in the winter time.. my skin gets a bit darker =\ so I use a different shade.  

Answer 8

the foundations are under the house

I hardly ever look at them

Answer 9

I tend to wear the same stuff all year round

But in summer i have a different style like i normally wear bronzer

but i winter i wear blush

i just tend to put a bit of powder on and carry top up in the summer

other then that I'm pretty much the same

Answer 10

No my foundation color changes as I tan over the summer.  Although the Bare Minerals seems to blend so far all year!

Answer 11

Answer 14

I wear the same all year around.

Answer 15

In the winter I use bare minerals medium beige for everything

In the summer I use medium beige as a concealer and a very light application of warm tan all over my face and neck to make them match the color of my body, my body is a lot darker from having a tan

Answer 16

Yea i use the same all year round, if its still on the shelf. Depending on your skin colour, you could change but my make-up i use now is just in the middle so it still looks good in winter and summer....

Answer 17

I wear the same foundation day and night but I get really tan in the summer and I've never had an acne problem (I'm 14) so I don't even wear foundation in the summer.  The foundation I use is a Merle Norman creamy foundation that is semi-heavy.

Answer 18

I like the same brand and type for all year round, but I generally have to go a little lighter in the winter, as I get tan in the summer, and it fades later on. Otherwise I look like a carrot face, which is.... less than desirable :)

Answer 19

i use the same foundation all year round. i live in a tropical country so we only have rainy season and dry season (no winter). i think it's a good idea because i don't see a difference. im using Mary Kay's liquid foundation btw.

Answer 20

I wear a darker shade in summer when I get a tan, but use the same type all year round (which is a fairly light coverage make-up).  If I wore proper/heavier foundation in winter I would probably change it in summer to one that don't cover so much, your skin will look naturally better in summer anyway so don't cover it up. As for day versus night, if you want to you can get away with heavier make-up at night because the low light will stop you looking overdone.  I don't do different foundation at night personally, but use more bold eye make-up and perhaps more bold lip colour too.  By night I assume you mean to a restaurant or club?  because you shouldn't wear it to bed, bad for your skin.

Answer 21

no, each person should have two different foundations. One for the warmer months, one for the cooler. However i guess it depends on where you live and if you can get away with it.

In the summer i use a foundation with high SPF, oil free, a lighter formulation, and one that is a few shades darker then my winter one as everyone usually gains a bit of a tan in summer. I use the SPF as im in the sun a lot in summer, i use the oil free as my skin gets really oily in summer, the lighter formulation is good because its easy to apply and natural, and i get the darker colour to match my skin at the time.

In winter i get a pale foundation which is generally a pretty thick texture, however i still use one with SPF to protect my skin. I get exremely dry skin in winter so a moisturising one is good because it keeps my skin protected and moisturised. I also tend to get blemishes in winter so i get one with good coverage.

I still prefer to wear lighter coverage when i go out at night as i like to focus on my eyes and have big lashes so a nice fresh,natural base with a bit of concealer is good as you can still see my freckles but my eyes are bold.

Answer 22

I tend to wear heavier makeup in the winter than summer. I don't really know why but I have pretty good skin so I guess it isn't bad.

Answer 23

i do.

Answer 24

I use two different products, one for summer and one for winter.  In summer i use a sheer tinted moisturizer with an SPF30 sunscreen in a slightly darker shade and dust with a light bronze pressed power.  I like make up to be simple in the summer.  In the winter I wear a more emollient (moisturizing) foundation that's a bit heavier -but not powdery and cakey -and without sunscreen.  We get so little sun in the winter that it's not needed, I go to work in the dark and come home in the dark.  The heavier foundation seems to keep my skin from getting chapped and dried out from the cold and wind in the winter.
