Iman for NC45

Hi,

Just wondering if any of you gals have tried the Iman range? I don't have access to stores so have to buy online so I don't know what shade I am. Also I have dry/combination skin and I know her stuff is oil free so don't know how that would hold up.

How about the luminous foundation? Looks good on the website....but then again it is their website!

You need to try Iman's cream to powder foundation, it has a beautiful finish and blends perfectly into the skin. Everytime I wear it I get so many complements. The Luminous foundation is good but can be kind of tricky to find your color. I would definitely go to some place like Walmart, where you can return it if it is not the right color. I had to return my twice. Normally I wear Earth 3, but in the Luminous foundation I wear Earth 6. Next on my list is the foundation stick. This is probably one of the best lines for WOC, but it is really underrated. If you go to imanbeauty.com or imancosmetics.com, you will find a conversion chart that will match up your color. And it does a really good job.

Hello..I'm NC-45 and really like Iman's foundation stick! It's wonderful for my oily skin! Colorwise, looks really natural..and is long lasting. I wear Clay-3.
Your skin is much drier than mine so maybe the luminous foundation will work even better. But the stick foundation is wonderful!!!

I love Iman foundation and I get crazy compliments on how good my skin looks with it on even from MAC artists. I don't know what I wear in MAC but in Iman I'm Clay 1 (cream to powder) but I also have Clay 2 for the perimeter of my face and for summer time. I use Sand light medium powder to set, I've found that it more closely matches than Clay Medium which is too red/dark but will come in handy in summer time.

If it helps they carry it at Ulta so you can go in and match before buying.

There's a conversion chart on the floriroberts.com website for MAC and Iman users.

I just started using the Clay 2 stick foundation and I love it. I hafe oily skin so it's a perfect formulation for me. The color is spot on. When I did wear MAC, C7 was the best match. I was matched at NC50 as well but that didn't work out so I stopped using the MAC foundations all togehter. Give it a try. My friend also tried Iman but the color she got was too light so she uses it as an eyeshadow base.
