I am SO happy, Biotherm counters in UK are very rare, there's only a handfull in the country and they're far away from me and i just saw that they've opened a counter near me!! I was so happy!!
Right my Mac foundation is running out so i want to see if i can find a match for Sense Matte (and if it works at all for me) before i totally run out and end up buying another Mac foundation again in desperation.
My skin has been looking better lately but i still need foundation for when i have more time to apply makeup. I am an NC43 but i'm quite pale for one but i definetly have the yellow/golden undertones to take into account. What shade of Sense Matte would be best for me? The shade range doesnt' leave me with much hope at the moment.
Also would this look ok with Blot powder on top or for touch ups to get rid of shine atleast? I love Blot powder and have another full one to use yet so would like to be able to use it with it.

Well after the excitement of discovering they opened a Biotherm counter near me i went and got 2 samples of foundation. One was for Sense Matte which i was really wanting to love and get a good match of but looks like Biotherm doesn't cater (all the time) for people who are not fair, their version of my skin tone left me looking ashy, dull and like i was wearing a mask. The finish felt good though but it was really hard to judge the quality of the foundation when the colour looked so bad.
However for the Light foundation i found a really good match but i'm not sure if it gives me a good coverage and i need to test it with my powder on (which i've run out of) to see if it works for me well as i was really shiny by midday with it on.
Why on earth do they have completely different skin tones in each type of foundation. I can handle that they have a small range of skin tones but they cater for my skin tone in one foundation but make completely different and unrealistic shades in another foundation? It's absurd..
I think i'll have to stick to Mac

i LOVE LOVE LOVE their light foundation! it's so perfect! thankfully i was blessed with my moms great skin, BUT every now and then when it doesn't look that fresh, i use this and i LOVE it! it's so smooth and sheer and just nicely evens out my skin.. SF have u tried using blot powder to blot away the oil? that's what i do and it works like a charm

Yeh i do use Blot powder and i love it but i've run out at the moment which is making testing new foundations to see how they act during an average day awkward. I do think Light foundation might be tooo light for me though.
Is there any other foundation of any brand out there that would give similar results to Sense Matte and would come in NC43 shade?
Also how does Mac Select foundation compare with Biotherm foundations?

Does anyone know if shade #110 is neutral? I'm NW20, looking for a new foundation. My skin's more neutral than anything, I think. I don't want anything too pink or too yellow, although too yellow tends to be worse for me.
edit: Nevermind. I went to the counter and tried it on. 110 is neutral.
