Why do I listen to these people! They also told me MSFN Med Plus would be a good bronzer.. uh no, it's the EXACT same colour as my skin! LOL.

I think I used too much AND applied it over moisturiser- bad idea. I washed it off and put a blob on using my fingers but tomorrow I will try less. I found it dries rather quickly for a tinted moisturiser. I set it with MSFN which gave me a bit more coverage but I had to break out the concealer more than I'm used to.

^Plumping AND Exfoliating?? I really think you are on to something. Next think you know Gwenneth Paltrow will be raving it about it in Marie Claire.

Sounds about right! I'm about NC20/C2 and the Medium just sunk right in and was pretty much a perfect match which is why I went darker!

P.S. Med Plus being a good bronzer? wtf? lol. I use MSFN in Med and its a bit light for me.

Yeah I wish I'd known they run so light! So now I'm tossing up whether to go for Med/dark or just forget it altogether and make my own tinted moisturiser like I usually do.. humph.

MSFN med plus is just perfect now but I'll probably go darker once I get right in to fake tanning for summer. The online artist suggested light or light/med for NC20! I saw them instore and they looked like chalk!

You know I don't think I like shale on me either! Looks kind of muddy most of the time. I like cleaner purples I think.

Yeah the concealer load was to compensate for the lack of coverage from studio moisture tint.. I don't know what it's tinting, not my face that's for sure!

Thank you!! That's what I mean about Shale - it goes muddy on me too! It looked really nice on my MUA though - she is like NC45 lol.

Does it go oily too? I used to wear BB cream, which is meant to be a 'healthier' version of tinted moisturizer. It was actually thicker than my Shu foundation and made me horribly oily at the end of the day.

 

[xLongLashesx]

^ Ha funny that you bring up the oiliness, yesterday I wore it to work where I carried a pile of dark coloured shoe boxes which I was balancing with my chin.. I left a perfect triangular grease stain on the top box! Eww!

And today after only about 3-4 hours it had slid into the contours around my nose. So yeah, it gets greasy in the greasy bits but the rest of my face is nice and soft.. drawbacks of a tinted moisturiser I guess, I'd never usually moisturise my nose!

Haha.. Yeah, that reminds me.. there is nothing more embarrassing than having greasy film residue left on your mobile phone screen. Or worse, lend your phone to someone and have it returned with someone else's cheek grease lol.

Maybe oil control lotion on your t-zone area might help? That didn't work for me either, but I am a biggest grease ball.

 

[xLongLashesx]

Ha ha yeah, I'm always wiping my iphone on my jeans.. it's become like a nervous habit.

I've got a smashbox mattifier but I keep forgetting to use it. Was thinking about mac's matte, but that'll probably go in the too hard basket as well! Some girls rec'd it to me for stopping the makeup loss at the corners when you have watery eyes.. big problem for me so it might come in handy for that.

That's my tip of the month for hayfever sufferers! lol..

 

[sambibabe]

Haha Sal, at least I am more classy and use my sleeves to wipe my phone! But then when I clean a glass rod, I rub it in between my legs.. Don't ask my why!

Smashbox primer, MAC matte, MUFE All Mat, MUFE stop shining, Inglot primer - all didn't work for my super oily face. Strangely, Lancome LA Pro primer does work, which feels just like those silicony gels (MAC matte, All Mat, Inglot primer). Go and ask for a sample at the counter, it would last you for a week

Wait.. I don't get the last bit.. So you apply MAC Matte at the corner of your eyes?

 

[simplyenchantin]

I like Sal's reason for editting her last post LOL

On the topic, I'm not oily at all and *I* still get make up residue on my phone and wipe it on my jeans LOL. I think it's just what's bound to happen when you wear foundation lol.

^^ Hey Mich, how do you explain guys getting the oily residue on their phones - do ya think they wear foundation or tinted moisturizer?

I don't think my 'residue' is the foundation or anything from my face. I must have really oily ears lol.

[MrsMay]

Nat!!! are you kidding??? I LOVE my MUFE Smoky Lash mascara!!!!!!!!!

 

[simplyenchantin]

^^ Nat I'm sure SOME people are oily and get residue on their phones from that.. (and there are definitely guys who wear foundation/moisturiser)

However for me personally, being dry, I know the stuff on my phone is foundation LOL. Especially given its beige residue and it doesn't happen unless i'm wearing make up
