WOC Foundation Journey

[seymone25]

I am so glad that u were not insulted.. From what u wrote I see u have it on point. I also agree with the person who mention the MUFE foundation colors.. I only have to use one foundation with them. Let me tell ya once the HD foundation comes out run and get it because it is awesome.. I was able to get mines early at a makeup show.. Try them out I really dont think u will be disappointed and u can alway return if ur not satisfied.. Good Luck lady..

It's always easier to alter depth (lighter or darker) once you've got your midtone down. I've also learned that my personal preference is to try and preserve those natural highs and lows my skin has. The reason why I've had such a hard time with foundation is because it flattens the natural highs and lows of the face. This is why I wanted to get the mid range of things and work from there.

Here is the vid: YouTube - Fauryn78's Foundation Application Pt. 2

I can relate...MAs always gave me foundation that was too dark or too red.

Blazeno,
I am so happy you chronicled your journey. I am done for awhile. I got matched again today and could have cried. The girl used a colour like Espresso or something, and I KNEW it wouldn't match and expressed my disappointment but she went to get three other MAs to cosign her belief. It looked like she took mud and put it all over my face. I never have them do my whole face. Even a woman who was older and Caucasian agreed it was too dark. The SAs got an attitude and I took it with other purchases to the register. Then I cowarded out and didn't buy the foundation and they thought I stole it! I hate that but now I can't shop there due to their "If you didn't buy it, I didn't notice you put it back" statement. I'm so frustrated. Anyway, sorry to hijack, I wish I lived in a city with more options. Thanks ladies. You guys are so wonderful.

AppleDiva, I'm getting the same message with this vid. I was able to find it on Youtube though, so I'm wondering if she just disabled off-site viewing.

Lafemmenoir, I don't know how else to say it, but that sucks. They shouldn't have pinned you in a corner with the color to begin with, but I wonder what will happen when they find that color tonight at closing...

Thank you so much for posting this. I have had problems finding the right foundation for years. I just started using Chanel Teint Innocence in Walnut and I adore it, but I would really like to find a less expensive alternative.

Yes, she did disable "offsite viewing."

Her tut was awesome...made me excited about MAC foundation again. I got matched up with 2 shades, but I had to talk to the MA into doing that...what the hell.

Yeah, I know, I had th biggest problem with that. All but one MAs wanted to do one size fits all, so they never mentioned that about it. The one who did mentioned that I am lighter in the center of my face, but we never discussed a difference in undertones.

What shade do you use in HD? I have to order online and am trying to get a frame of reference.
