Hi everyone,
So I'm back to sampling after really trying and wishing and hoping to get Meow to work for me. It was just too hard to try to find my exact color, and I was going to have to mix, and it was daunting. So, since people have been singing the praises of AN foundation, I gave it a whirl, and I have to say I'm pleased. I got two foundation samples, med-light neutral and med-light warm. I can wear them both, but I think I might go with the warm to help my undertones out a little in the winter. We'll have to conduct more extensive experiments to make a final decision. But still, it's nice to get two colors I can definitely wear on my first go. I know I can wear Signature Minerals 5.3 med beige, but I really like the idea of being able to buy the hug 3-oz tub, which is why I wanted to be able to wear Meow.
So now, since I'm headed in the AN direction, I wanted to ask what everyone thought of the primer they offer, the Advanced Gel Primer. It says the ingredients are silicone gel, squalane, and silica, which I've heard work well as primer. The thing is, it comes in a glass bottle and costs 17.50 for one oz of primer. Is it really worth it, or is there something else out there with similar simple and effective ingredients for less?
Also, is anyone else planning on trying their new pressed foundation? I was SO excited when I saw that they're going to be offering it. If anyone gets to it before I do, I'd be thrilled to hear how it worked for you.
Thanks, all!
