Mineralize Skin Finish in Dark

[Indian Barbie]

I bought this today after trying it on at the store, it seemed ok but now that I look at it, it may be a bit too dark for me. The makeup artist himself said he didn't know if it was too dark or not. I can't go all the way to the mall again to return it. What to do?

Looking at your picture I think the MSF in dark is too dark for you. What's you MAC foundation shade? I'm NW45 and I wear the dark MSF. Of course, I'm not a MUA.....

Well the thing about my skin color is that it looks different all the time in different light. I actually found the perfect foundation for me and it was NC50!

I think it also depends on what you are using it for. I'm NW45 in most things, but N9 in SF powder. In my case, my face is lighter in the middle, so I use the dark on the inner circle of my face and deep dark on the outer circle and to countour my cheek bones. So, you could keep the dark and use it for countouring or bronzing effects.

I'm an NW45, too. I love the glow Deep Dark gives me. I use it with my 187 over my mineral powder.

So if I mixed it up with one of the Barbie Beauty Powders would it be lighter? I'm still waiting for them in the post...

girl im an NC40, and i use msf dark all the time. but not all over my face, i use it to contour my cheekbones. i've also lightly dusted in on my cheeks (as if it were blush) and dusted some glissade msf over. gives me a nice bronzy glowy look

i agree I'm nc45 and dark msf make me look muddy, if i use it all over. so i use it mostly as a blush or to contour. I use med-drk and it's perfect for me

Its the same for me, Nc43 Med dark all over & Deep dark to contour.

You're beautiful and this is lovely....

Can you give details about how you used the MSF and the beauty powder? Did you put the MSF on 1st, then the beauty powder? Details, details, please....

nice pic. I was just going to add that I am an NC45/50 and I can't use the dark solely as a powder as it is a touch too dark for me but I love to contour my nose with it and I use deep dark to contour my cheeks.

 

[Indian Barbie]

Yep I put on the MSF on first on the outer parts of my face, then put on the BP on the lighter parts (the middle) and buffed them together using a Kabuki brush!

Is deep dark a lighter shade than dark?

 

[saniyairshad]

I've heard a lot of girls use dark and deep dark as bronzers...
