i dont know if anybody else has experienced but i used the smashbox primer photo finish light i believe its called , and then applied my studio fix powder as usual but it seemed like i was at least 1-2 shades lighter . maybe i applied to much idk .

I use the same products and the same thing happened to me. I was using too much because I thought it would help with my very oily skin. It didn't. It just made me look like a black ghost. So I just stopped using it. Now I use Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel. I like it a lot better and it's much cheaper.

And if I put a lot on it doesn't make look like a ghost.

This stuff keeps my face from getting oily so I figured that it was just because the oil wasn't making my foundation go darker throughout the day. You've given me something to think about... Thanks!

So I wore MUFE primer today instead of Smashbox's primer light and whoa... it was such a huge difference... I thought I really was that light and it turned out to be the primer... I'm so glad I happened upon this thread. Thanks!
