You're wearing SF Fluid? Have you tried the Studio Fix powder foundation? That's not good for you in the warmer months? Have you tried the Careblend Powder? I have yet to try Careblend.

Great!! I'll give them a call. Thanks!It didn't tell me that there was an expiration date either but I did call CS and to tell them that I wasn't able to use it and was not aware of an expiration date. They were happy to refund my shipping costs on the order I placed. Try it

^^^yup yup!Thanks. As I said, I know absolutely nothing about using bronzer. How does the 188 compare to the 187 for bronzer? I'm a little worried that the 187 would be too big for my face. I'm glad that the 159 is going to be perm, so I don't have to panic and go out and buy it now. On a different but related note (my newfound bronzer obsession), is the stuff on beautybay.com genuine? They have the Too Faced bronzers up with about 10% off, and I'd like to buy one but will avoid it if the site's dodgy. Thanks.
SFF is really great for oily skin. Is it the coverage that's too much for you? If so, try using the 188 brush to apply it. This will sheer it out to more of a medium coverage. Another option is to mix a tiny bit of your moisturizer with it. Are you wanting a powder, or a powder foundation? If you're wanting a powder foundation, studio fix is another great product for oily skin, however, it'll give you the same coverage as SFF. But if you're looking for a powder, Careblend will give you a matte finish, but with a medium coverage.

hahaha - I WAS going to say to get it because it's a very unique highlighter that will be great on fair skin and should battle against cheek redness a little bit, along with the sheer coral shiny goodness. Now, if only I can get you to check out Simmer - it's way more beautiful than Sweet Samba - I know you like your berry-toned blushes…ok ok already..........I ordered it
not even gonna try to be good.............ever
love you liba

I used to use the Studio Fix powder on a daily basis. It made my skin look very nice, though the heavier coverage means that it looks a lot less natural so I now use it only for spot coverage really when I absolutely need it. Otherwise, I use MSFN daily for spot coverage (I don't use foundation, only concealer and I set it with MSFN). I also own Careblend and I think that its only special point is that it has a very moist texture when you apply it on. For that reason, when I have exceptionally dry patches from time to time such as on the tip of my nose, I will use Careblend to set instead of MSFN. Also Careblend is great for setting undereye concealer- it doesn't crease. But for oil control in summer, Blot is hands down the best. I have combination skin and Blot on its own lasts about 4-5 hours before some shine shows through (I personally prefer a semi-matte finish to a dewy finish). However, when I use it on top of Prep and Prime Skin Refined Zone applied on the T-zone, I don't even need to touch my makeup the entire day, even in a hot and humid climate.

That would be Simmer. SS is pink and brown.

I've got tons of purples but I'm not purpled out yet!
I didn't get MM, though. It's a little too pink for my taste and very close to FMP, which is less pink and a little darker. MM has a nicer texture than FMP, which I have to keep reapplying. You wouldn't have to do that so much with MM. I do like the Mineralize lipstick formula - I've got Posh Tone, which I wear all the time, and want to eventually get Luxe Natural. A grayish pink like Restrict mixed with Mehr would be a dream color in that formula!!!

Narcissus looks to be more yellow based, which I like, but I'll save a few dollars and get MP. Thanks!

Its not a muddy color? - I hate it when they call a shade 'burnt' because to me that may make it muddy.
Now I was all in for SS
