1. Warm or cool shade?

I'm not entirely sure to be honest (all I know is that I'm quite pale)
2. Brands and shade of foundations
At the moment I use Rimmel London Silky loose face powder in transparent but I find it has a rather pinkish tone to it which I really don't like as I want a flawless pure white look, so I'm looking into purchasing some Manic Panic dreamtone and some Manic Panic virgin white loose powder.

3. Brands and shade of concealers

Rimmel London 'Stay Matte' concealer in ivory; but I've just run out.
4. Do you use primer? What brand?
I feel like an idiot saying this, but I don't know what primer is.

1. Warm or cool shade?

Definitely cool, neutral tones.

2. Brands and shade of foundations

I have completely oily disgusting skin and I am a foundation whore so I am always on the hunt. I probably own roughly 20 foundations,

Currently, I am rotating the following:

MUFE F&B #18

Cargo Wet/Dry-F80

Mac Matchmaster #7.5-Only when it is colder here because this slides off my face no matter which primer I use.

StudioFix Powder C7

Revlon Photoready-Cappucino- I am surprised that I like this. You can barely see the shimmers and it's a beautiful finish once it settles into the skin

NEW "possible" HG-Chanel Perfection Lumiere in Ambre 114- I just started testing this and so far I am in perfect skin heaven!

3. Brands and shade of concealers

I love and I am loyal to Mac Studio Finish, NC45 (Eyes) & NC50 (rest of face)

4. Do you use primer? What brand?

I have tried probably every single one. I haven't found one that I love. Lately, I just use a bit of Mac oil control lotion and let it dry, Then I spritz a  couple of pumps of MUFE Mist & Fix and then work in my foundation and powder. This regimen has been holding off my oil slick almost a full work day.

1) Warm or Cool shade? - I'm along the lines of a cool shade. In this picture I look very light, that's because flash was on, and the background was very dim. My skin tone is cream colored with a mild yellow undertone. 

2) Brands and Shade of Foundations - I get really tan in the summertime, but for right now i'm using MAC StudioFix in NC20.

3) Brands and Shade of Concealers - I use the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer. It covers up amazingly well, i'm still young so I don't have that bad of dark circles around my eyes, and I tend to take care of my skin a lot. So, this is more than enough coverage for me! I'm in the shade Light/Medium.

4) Do you use primer? What brand? - I don't use primer. I use moisturizer /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I have been using AHAVA Mineral Body Lotion. My skin is combination, but tends to hang slightly more on the dryer side. I prefer using moisturizer underneath my powder foundation!
