Here is my dilemma, which is total BS and I am insanely mad!
I have been noticing that my "HG" Aubrey Nicole was just not working for me, and truly never really has. The coverage hasn't been to my liking, and it was turning very orangey on me. I didn't like it at all. I went back to some EDM samples and was happy that it didn't do the same thing at all. I have since used my Lumiere, EDM and Meow samples, and I love them all, and they all give me much better coverage than the AN ever did. Now, since I have more excuses, I'm looking into other brands to try.
My other dilemma is my skin coloring/undertones. I thought I had it figured out, but clearly I do not. When I wash my face, my skin never has pigmentation, really. It is just pale white (my avatar looks different, but trust me, I am WHITE) I get most of my foundations in "cool", but when I tried my EDM sample in "Neutral", it happened to actually look better, and VERY VERY close to how my skin looks after I wash it. Cool looks okay, and nice too, but it always seemed a bit off to me. Now I'm having an issue with whether I'm Neutral or Cool in my undertones. I mean, I have checked the obvious, like the color of my veins, etc...and they look blue, so I mean, duh...but Neutral and Cool look like "my shade", so it's weird.
Anyway, I am really upset that what I settled on as my HG is really not HG at all...it sucks, but I'll get over it. Now it's off to find some more brands to try! UGH!! Wish me luck! Any suggestions are totally welcome!
