Sin #4: Applying New Makeup Over Old Makeup
Sin #4: Applying New Makeup Over Old Makeup What Actually Happened: I forged ahead against dermatological advice (and my better judgment) and swiped on another coat of foundation (I chose one with SPF 15 so that I didn't feel too awful about not applying sunscreen in the morning), mascara, eye shadow and lip gloss on the last day of the experiment. Not only did my skin look crazy-shiny by midday, my foundation started to pill around my nose. What's more, my lashes felt really dry and my eyes started to itch. I had dinner plans with friends that night, so I decided to take off my makeup in my office bathroom before leaving work. I was officially done with the experiment and was excited about getting back to living my makeup-free life.
