since I always got the wrong shade of studio fix (either too dark or pale) I mixed NC 35 with NC 20 and Bitter eyeshadow to make it more yellowish... at the moment I prefer mineral makeup. Isadora has one but the yellowish shade is too dark... so I mix it with Chanel Double Perfection Compacte or/and Giorgio Armani Silk Powder Foundation

I do something kind of weird.
I use Studio Fix Fluid, BUT I apply it with a 169 brush, I know, thats weird.
with Medium Dark MSF over top if it.

I moisturize my face with Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme with clean hands.
Then I add a quarter size of face primer, bronzing lotion/tinted moisturizer and foundation on the back of my hand and mix it up with a foundation brush. And I apply it all over my face.

Then I apply concealer by dotting it in area I need it the most and blend it in, not all over.

Then I set my face with studio fix or mineral powder/loose powder with a big powder brush or my 182 and spray the 182 with fix +. Or an MSF if my skin is having a good day that I don't need much coverage. The outcome is flawless. I did a tut on a KK look last night but I did show pics on how I do my face routine. =)

I'm superlazy, so I combined moisturizing, foundation, concealing, and highlighting in one step.

1 dab of Aveeno clear complexion moisturizer
1 dab of Face and Body in C3
1 dab of Revlon skinlights or strobe cream

mix well, then spread sparingly over face. Because F&B is so sheer and skinlight shimmer is so small, it gives a beautiful natural dewy glowy look in about 2 minutes.

You can mix SPF face moisterizer & mix in your favorite foundation & you have a spf tinted moisterizer in your own personal shade.

Since the nice weather is approaching you can add a little dazzelight pigment in your fix + spray on face & u have your tinted moisterizer w/ a nice dewy glow
Hope this helps

I have Hyper Real foundation, but I find the consistency to be a bit too thick so I mix it with a Lumene foundation (which I forgot the name of...)
