I just had my sample pack 2 weeks ago and happy ako sa results. though medyo mahal yung shipping pero its worth it! maganda yung ultimate all-day foundation nila. as in no shine at all. napaka-humid pa naman ng weather dito sa pinas kaya sobrang natuwa ako dito and no need for blotting paper. yung extra-coverage naman mas maganda yung finish kasi mas natatakpan niya pimple marks. pero dun pa rin ako sa ultimate all day kasi ayaw ko talaga ng me shine.

Can Any one help me figure out which shade of Revlon/Covergirl/Loreal/ Maybelline concealers is perfect for a MAC NW30 Concealer shade?

I have tried my friends NW30 concealer and its the perfect shade for me...

Can anyone of you please advise me which shade & brand is a MAC equivalent?

Wanted to buy a cheaper concealer than MAC!

Thanks...

my foundation shades are always warm, b/c my undertones are warm.

currently i'm using clinique stay true in 05 golden. and i also have clinique superfit in 29 golden beige. Both are really great for oily skin, and aren't overdrying.

I dont' use concealer, i like a natural look. I dont use primer, i dont reallly feel it to be necessary, b/c i use a moisturizer underneath my foundation, i use olay complete for sensitive skin with uv protection of spf 15 +

1. Warm or cool shade? I'm usually cool , but right now I'm warm because of the summer.

2. Brands and shade of foundation - I use Mary Kay (Ivory) when i'm lighter , and Calvin Klein Infinite Matte Oil free (203 toasted) when i'm darker.

3. Brands and shade of concealers - Laura Mercier Secret Concealer (#2)

4. Do you use primer? What brand? Yes, Laura Mercier

 
1. Warm or cool shade? Cool

2. Brands and shade of foundations? I've been using Clinique's Superbalanced Makeup for years (clinique.com). It's oil-free so my face doesn't get shiny -- I'm pretty sure it's works for all skin types. I just got a new bottle of it since it's summer and my skin shade is a little darker now, so I got the Vanilla shade (I'm pretty fair-skinned so even though it's summer I'm still using the lighter shades...) But they have so many shades and the people at the counter will help you find the right one for you.

3. Brands and shade of concealers? I don't usually use concealer...occasionally I use Clinique concealer for under my eyes.

4. Do you use primer? What brand? Nope. I never really felt the need for it - but does anyone have some suggestions about primer brands and if primers are really essential for my make-up routine?

 
Great idea for a post!

1. I'm not sure if I'm cool or warm, but I have very red-toned skin.

2. I have previously used rimmel renew and lift foundation and I LOVED it but then I somehow went off it. I have found my HG tinted moisturiser- by Nivea- but I'm in search of a foundation. Hopefully this post will help!

3. I just bought Benefit's Confessions of a Concealaholic

4. I don't, but i'm looking into GOSH velvet touch

When Ever we talk about the Foundation at that time we must have to keep in mind this point :

first of all decide which kind of foundation you want to buy Warm or cool shade? After that you have to choose the Brands and shade of foundations.then you have to decide your skin tone and as per skin tone you have to choose the foundation shade.

 
I just got the Bobbi Brown luminous moisturizing foundation in warm ivory.. I got a sample of it and I really loved it so I decided to order the whole bottle of it! The bottle is a lot smaller than I thought it would be though.. especially for $45.
