well you could go either way! for sheer to medium coverage you've got the Illuminating Liquid Foundation (ILF), which is water based, semi glowy and works for all skins apart from very oily!
or the new Natural Finish Oil Free (which I love! and im super oily), its med -full cover, semi matte but still lets your natural glow show thru! it has a water synthetic complex which makes it super long wearing and it doesnt oxidise!
i'd be NC40 in MAC and wear shades 60watts in illuminating products and e/f in the others! i'd start by looking at shade D or 40/50w in your chosen fndt!

well same answer for you, and yes we do go fairly dark! we go to 100watts in lquid illum range and 120 in the illum powder range and to shade M in the Natural Finish! we dont do the whole warm/cool thing like MAC, so it'd be best to try it if you can! i havent found any of the products oxidise on me and im very oily!! My Mum is Trinidadian, only a few shades darker than me and she wears sahdes f/g and 80 watts so i think you'll find something to match!! hth

yes they all tend to smell like their names! but personally i only notice the scent for the first 5-10 mins im wearing it!! all our other products are frag free or lightly vanilla scented tho! x

I really like the gel cheek color but I feel like I have to use a lot of it and it seems like it fades after a couple hours.
Is there something I can do to make it stay on longer or to not use so much of it? Or a similar product thats more pigmented?
Thanks!

i use about half a pea sized amount for both cheeks and that seems to stay on me, but i use primer under my fndt so i think that makes a difference too.
what other face products are you using? (fndt etc)
the other cheek stains i have tried have been of similar quality to be honest like Tarte, NARS and Benefit!
