Thanks erine. I think it looks too powdery and I don't use the sponge I use a large duo fibre brush. Next time I'll try it with a large powder brush.

My daughter says I'm being ridiculous and looking at myself 1/4 inch from the mirror is not how anyone else sees it. She may be right.

Can I ask what tool you use to apply MSFN with? I'm also a fan (going through my third one at least), but I wear it over F&B. ATM just lightly because my skin is very dry (but super moisturized with serum&cream&oil) and the winter is just coming. Yes, I think esp. some young people use just way too heavy foundations. I have not tested out Light (just Light Plus which is more yellow than the more neutral/NWish Medium I'm using atm) but I can say that the compact is a million times better than the messy loose version! That's my problem, too!:haha:

I use the 150 to apply it, and i wear it solo. Also, keep in mind that it's a completely different animal than the mineral loose, which is an actual foundation, and not a powder, like the MSFN. Not sure if you knew that.

I bought MSFN yesterday at a CCO and I'm loving it so far. I prefer it instead of the Careblend powder. The Careblend felt a little drying while the MSFN feels like I have nothing on. Me gusta mucho :heart:

Medium Dark :)  I thought I would need Medium Plus but when I tried it, it was a little too light for me.

Yes, i bought MD too. I bought it here For 13 bucks i think so good deal. Msfn is always in my cosmetic bag. Idk if is correct but I use msfn with my studio fix powder (together) :)

Wow that's a really good deal! I think I'm going to start carrying it around in my bag a lot too.
I'm not sure about using it with studio fix powder, hopefully someone here can answer.

Well Studio Fix powder is meant to be a foundation on its own. Depending how you apply it it might look too valey with both powders. Fix+ at the end should help make it look more natural but I'm really not sure how both products would work together!

Thanks for sharing! I think you use both it would be best too apply the MSFN very lightly over Studio Fix. I completely forgot about about Fix+ lol! I need to use mine more.

The lipsticks aren't all that special to me.. I'm sure seeing them in person will change my mind though! I do like all of the EDSF though and will definitely be getting Superb! I never tried any of the ED blushes so maybe I will give one a try.

You don't want to use them both together. SF is foundation and powder in one, so wearing MSFN on top of SF is redundant.

Studio Fix used to be the only powder I wore everyday (therefore for setting concealer and the skin in general). It looks very nice, your skin will look very velvety and smooth with it, but I think it's what you'll call a more full-faced look. Eventually I switched to MAC Blot for everyday because my preference changed and I wanted a more natural look. I kept Studio Fix for formal occasions and also sometimes for spot coverage (dab on with 227 brush) when I need it. Gradually MSFN replaced Studio Fix for spot coverage because I didn't need such heavy coverage anymore. I still like Studio Fix for formal occasions though, but I don't think I'll be repurchasing one when it runs out because those don't happen often enough these days for me to keep a powder just for them.

Thank you for the info! I was wearing the mineral loose with F&B or solo. I just did not like the messiness. I don't have any loose powders either.

I've been using the 150 for a lighter application of MSFN, too, and the 179 for a heavier one. Coincidently, today I've been wearing MSFN solo (buffed with 179). It looks really nice I think as my skin is in good condition. Very natural and luminous. I think I will wear this look more.
