Face and Body Foundation

[nursee81]

Hey I was thinking about getting this foundation for the summer. Is anyone has any inputs on it... The other thing is the MA matched me kinda for c5 I'm a nc40/42 and I know I will be tanning so this summer. So I was wondering if this is a good match?

I adore Face and Body foundation. I was matched for C1, and I'm between NC20 and NC15 normally. I use this foundation with Cinema Secrets Foundations as concealer where I need a bit more coverage (around my nose for example). It gives me the look of a flawless, youthful look.

it is very lightweight with a very glowy (not like hyperreal though, more like if you put a bit of strobe cream in normal foundation) finish that isn't oily looking. Perfect for summer, even though I wear it year round

I was starting to think that no one wears this foundation. Does any one else have any inputs? Or color matches?

I'm really curious about this foundation also because my MUA recommended it for me during the summer also. He says it is very light weight. I'm thinkin about getting samples of it and trying it. I'm not sure how the color matching goes so I'm sorry I can't help you on that part.

Some products are always going to work: I don't leave home without Margin Blush - even models that party all night get back to that perfect, healthy glow...it's our little secret. When I say Love Nectar Lustreglass works on everyone, I mean it! Face and Body Foundation is another one. Goes on like water and feels like silk.

I love the face & body foundation. I use the N1 shade. It does feel like water on the skin and never looks heavy or cakey. I usually put it on with a 187 brush and lightly press it on my skin and then put a light dusting of MSF natural over top. Great for summer!

I love the face and body foundation. It gives a flawless matte finish, the coverage is just enough to hide redness and minor discoloration while still achiving a natural finish. For people who want more coverage this isnt the foundation for you. I like using the 109 brush because it gives slightly thicker coverage than the 187 and the bottle is huge!! so you are really getting your moneys worth. I wear c5 im nc40.

I agree with coachkitten, espeically if you have oily skin, you need to apply some sort of powder over the foundation, cuz it really doesnt control shine/oil

^ thats the color I ended up getting. I was thinking that it might be to light. So far I like I have used it 2 days only.

C5 will definitely be too light for you by the summer if you get into the NC40s. C5 is more like an NC 35ish shade, just with more yellow in it.

You would love Face & Body during the summer! It is basically a long wearing tinted moisturizer that is meant to even out skin tones, as well as leave an almost glistening glow to the skin. As the name implies, it can be used anywhere on the face and body and is perfect for photography and an ideal makeup for people that like something light and natural looking.

It can also be used along with any other makeup such as concealors, powders, bronzers, blushes, etc. It can also be layered with other foundations, but I would personally finish with this product because of the healthy-glow finish.

The only thing I would suggest is to use a moisturizer that contains SPF in it if you're going to be wearing this during the summer. Face & Body Foundation does NOT contain SPF so you will have to use a seperate product to help protect the skin from the sun and elements.

Hope that helps!

[afloresm13]

Yes, I've been curious about the Face & Body foundation also...

Does anyone know what f&b shade would be for NC37?

TIA!!

I love Face and Body Foundation! I have combination skin and wear NC40 is just about every other MAC foundation, but for Face and Body I wear C4. I guess the foundation just doesn't oxidize as much on me because of the drier areas of my face.

 

[nursee81]

I like the face and body but I love the MUFE one better. I ended up Getting C6 i think, I would have to check.
