Hey everyone! I joined this forum because I don't have very many "girlfriends" to discuss makeup with! The friends I do have don't wear makeup like I do! So ladies, I need your help and advice! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
My problem is foundation. I found the perfect foundation for me (or so I thought) Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation shade 1N1 and I love it! It matches my skin tone perfectly... BUT it makes me look pale! I also use the Estee Lauder Matte Perfecting Primer. At first I thought I was just using too much but that's not the issue. I stopped using translucent powder (for shine control) and that didn't work either. I've used bronzer (kind of contouring my face to give some color) but that doesn't help much! I don't really wanna try another foundation beause I love this one it covers my blemishes and is very lightweight..not to mention it cost $40 and I still have the full bottle!
I've run out of options. Idk what to do! I wear foundation every day. I never leave the house without unless I'm going to swim or workout.
I love to contour my face for special occassions but I can't because using a concealer to highlight my t-zone isn't noticable because I already look pale. I need a powder for shine control as well.
Maybe mixing a cheap darker foundation with my Double Wear? No idea what will help.
PS,
This shade matches my skin perfectly..I barley have to shade into my neck because that's how perfect it is! I don't feel like switching shades would help much. I was told using concealer instead of foundation would help? But I need all around coverage. I have acne & burn scars I need to cover.
HELP ME!! PLZ & THNX!! =)
