It really depends on individual liking. For me, I like loose powder as I feel its texture is smoothers, softer and lighter. And more softer finishing.

i hav just switched to maybelline white stay mousse. it works okay for me.
Sometimes will dab on some maybelline Pure Stay 2 way foundation.

im using Cyber Colour - cyber snow foundation got spf26++..
bought from sasa...
its like a pressed powder or 2-way cake?
but i don't know it is for what type of skin??
anybody knows?

feeling,
I am using Shu Uemura lash repair.. I notice my lashes drops lesser on longer. can't really feel the difference but I think if it drops lesser maybe it will grow longer

actually both way works, depending on your skin condition and the texture of the foundation or the concealer. this go the same for your second question.

it's important to select different concealer texture for different skin area. eg, the concealer for your eyes should be different from your scar.

first of all, i would like to explain the main purpose of the foundation. it should be used to even out your face complexion, choosing the colour tone nearest to your skin tone and correct your skin's tiny flaws (such as tiny pores).
The finish of the foundation should be seen as 'without wearing any foundation' is the prefect.

for the concealer, it is mean to conceal any blemishs, dark circle, broken cappilaries, pimple scars and others. Therefore, the texture and colour should be go accordingly to the need of it.

If you are interested to know more details about it, you may messenger me by lady_mys2001@yahoo.com or pm me.
I'm a make up artist.

I USED NA-MEE FOUNDATION AND NAMEE MAGIC CREAM

I want to try Maybelline Foudation, anyone used it before? There are many types, i dunno which type suitable for me? I have oily and acne prone skin le.. Pls give some comment? Thanks

i like loreal true match foundation.

really match my skin tone.

my makeup regimen takes 15 minutes and i love using my new make up brushes to apply my make up esp. the foundation brush!

i can't live w/o makeup...

I recommend Missha BB Cream - Natural looking & does not damage the skin.

any recommendation on loose powder...i want to get one...
dun like liquid and pressed powder as i think they r very sticky and thick...

There's few recommendation here that I had explored so far:
1) Anna Sui. They got compact and loose powder, silky and very smooth. comes in a beautiful packaging and different shade. The shade is quite suitable for Asian gals.

2) Chanel. I prefer their compact powder (I'm using it currently)

Actually there's no much different between pressed powder (also known as compact powder) and loose powder.
Pressed powder, just as the name said, is a pressed form of loose powder. You can use a powder brush on pressed powder and the result is the same as loose powder, this method is better if you are applying after the foundation. if you use a sponge, then it might create a patchy effect and your face will look powdery.

hi i have this problem
when i apply foundation on, my face look a lil bit fairer (not very visible) and when i take a picture with a camera with flash i appear so so fair inside the pict! until it look so fake!
anyone experience this before?
does this mean my foundation doesn't suit my skin tone?

Hi,
Have you try applying oil control cream on you T-Zone (oily) area? This cream normally falls in skincare catagory. This cream will absorb the access oil that your skin have. I can't remember which cosmetic brand have it

For your information, I do not recommend combination/dehydrated skin to use 2way foundation. For your case, I recommend that you may use a concealer to cover your scar and a sheer foundation. The problem for dehydrated skin is, after applying medium - heavy coverage foundation, will appear 'crack' (especially you are in a air-conditioned closed environment)

Try this method:
1) apply a hydrating cream before putting on cosmetic everytime.
2) dap tissue over your face and use a brush to do touch-up. (u may use sponge, but do it carefully to avoid patchy)
3) never use foundation to cover pimples, scar, or whatever blemishes

I have this experience!!! I hate it because just like what u said, it look so fake.

I think it's the foundation is reflecting the flash light, therefore it appear brighter. I use shadowing to make use of the reflection. Apply a slightly darker shade of foundation at your jawline and nose-line (I mean the side-of-the-nose). This will create an effect that my face look smaller

Another point is, the foundation shade is too light. It shouldn't be visible.

highly recommend dermalogica satin smooth, looks v natural like no make up~~

Revlon ColorStay is very good and affordable. It last long and blends well. I won't go for Maybelline tho.

No, don't use Maybelline!! It's sticky and not light at all. Trust me, i've tried it before.

Oh yes, maybeline one is quite sticky ......

paul & joe ~...it contain 9 colours tone in the base,i can even ur skin tone and looks very natural after applyin...love it~

If you're unsure which products suit you the most, I'll suggest drop by the makeup counter and the makeup artists will be more than happy to help you out.

I personally love Bobbi Brown and MAC.

Just dust loose powder after foundation to have flawless skin and also to control oil esp at t zone part! I have super oily skin even eyelids are oily, but my loose powder settles it for me Yes averina satin smooth by dermalogica managed to solve my oiliness for me maybe the shade i bought is not right, the shade abit too dark for me , now changed to shu uemura, brighther but seems like more oily hehe i gotta dust more loose powder den!
