Can somebody recommend which type of lightbulb best mimics natural daylight? I'm looking for something similar to what they have at the MAC counters that shows ALL of the flaws, just like natural light does. I think there was a type of bulb that was advertised to provide a "daylight" type of light, but does it really work?

Currently my bathroom lighting is yellow, and when I step outside during the day I notice so many flaws that I couldn't see under that lighting! Ugh! I'd like to be able to catch all of my flaws before going out! Any suggestions?

I prefer to apply makeup in bright natural daylight and usually stand right in front of my bedroom window in direct light to avoid heading outside and seeing mistakes. Anyways, full spectrum light bulbs like these will give you natural light: http://www.fullspectrumsolutions.com...lbs_40_ctg.htm

I'm guessing you could pick these up at most hardware stores, but I'm not sure...I'm actually going to try to find these myself!

apparently Billy B swears by this tota lamp

thanks!! really helpful!

Thanks both of you..

So option #1 is full spectrum light bulbs.. And option #2 (Billy B's lamp) uses a "Tungsten halogen lamp", which apparently is equivalent to a plain halogen lamp. Ahh I think I'm starting to get somewhere
