    Studio Finish Concealer Shades

    If I wear NC37 in MAC foundations, what shade would be best for spot concealing in Studio Finish? It seems it's either NC35 or NC42. I just plan on using the concealer with MSF. The lady at the counter gave me a sample of NC42 because she said it runs light and she thinks NC35 would look grey...

    Dupes for Hug Me, Faux, Jubilee, Cherish & Angel?

    As much as I love MAC l/s colors, the formulas are all too drying on me. I did recently purchase Bare Again Sheen Supreme which is wonderful, and I've heard it's a good dupe for Hug Me, but I'm not sure. Are there any dupes for Mac Hug Me, Faux, Jubilee, Cherish and Angel? I'm mostly...

    PLW Foundation - Up, down or stay the same shade?

    Last I knew I was NC40 until recently when I was re-matched as NC37. Because of this, and knowing most people are supposed to go down a shade in the PLW foundation, I was given a sample of NC35. It looked just right, and I don't recall if it oxidized on me or not (which might mean it didn't or...

    MAC Foundations

    Recently, I was given a sample of SFF and PLW to test out. I think I prefer the PLW, but I also think I'm starting to breakout from the foundation. I know MAC foundations seem to be hit and miss as to whether or not they make you break out, and just because one makes you break out doesn't mean...

    Best powder to use for "setting" MAC Pro Longwear Foundation?

    For those who use a powder still to set your foundation, or at least in just your T-zone, which powder works best for setting Pro Longwear? My apologies if this is posted in the wrong spot! It's been ages since I last posted, and the board has definitely changed!

    Fafi Hipness vs Raquel Welch Goddess

    I missed out on Goddess, and really want it. However, a lot of pics I see of it make it look similar to Fafi's Hipness. Are they that close that I shouldn't worry about Goddess, or should I still try to get it and still get Hipness? I know their descriptions make them seem different, but they...

    Pigment dupe for Summer Neutral

    I don't even think there is one, and I can't seem to recall a color that's even CLOSE in color. I've swatched Summer Neutral against other pigments I have, and nothing comes up close. Does anyone know of any color(s) that would be a close dupe, or a combination of colors? Or even another...

    Lee, MA or Manchester, VT CCO?

    Has anyone ever been to either of these CCOs and found anything great? I've only been to the one in Lee, MA as it's only an hour from me, but I'm thinking I want to try the VT one. I'm trying to stick a bit closer to home rather than take the 3-4 hr. drive to the one near Boston or NYC.

    Urban Decay Surreal Mineral Foundation

    Forgive me if there's already a thread on this, but I didn't see one. I'm just curious as to how many of you have tried it, and what your thoughts are? I currently use this in Hallucination, and actually left my Chanel foundations for it! My other question is, if anyone uses this, do you...

    Dupe for Coco Beach?

    Unfortunately for me, the MAC craze just hit me this past May. Therefore, I've long since lost out on a lot of great LE/DCed colors. I've been wanting Coco Beach for ages, but it's SO hard to find (or find at a decent price). Does anyone happen to know of any dupes for it? The new...
