Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Favorite sheerer foundation? The only foundation I ever use is EL Double Wear, which is far from sheer!
Favorite subtler highlighter? I don’t use highlighter, but I sometimes use Guerlain Meteorites. It’s not really a highlighter, but it’s as close as I get these days.
Favorite MLBB lip product? Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet in Intemporelle
I was thinking of listing Guerlain Meteorites (and also Cruel Gardenia powder) but wasn’t sure either if it counted as a highlighter.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite sheerer foundation? I actually only go for medium coverage that I can build up to something fuller in areas where I need a bit more coverage, so I really do like my new bottle of Lancome Teint Idole Care & Glow foundation, but I really do miss Fenty Profilt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation!
Favorite subtler highlighter? Laura Mercier 01 Highlighter or MAC Double Gleam EDSF used with a fan brush.
Favorite MLBB lip product? MAC Cosmo or, PMG Labs MattreTrance in Omi w/ a little bit of Fenty Gloss Bomb in Fenty Glow in the center of my lips!
Your skin tone/coloring: light-medium, warm/olive
Favorite sheerer foundation? MAC Face and body foundation
Favorite subtler highlighter? The highlighter in Bobbi Brown’s Face&cheek palette
Favorite MLBB lip product? MUFE Rouge Artist in Sassy rhubarb
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, brown hair, green eyes.
Favorite sheerer foundation? Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse. So sheer and skin-like.
Favorite subtler highlighter? Stila Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in Kitten.
Favorite MLBB lip product? Maybelline SuperStay Vinyl Ink in Cheeky.
Your skin tone/coloring: MAC NC 20
Favorite sheerer foundation? Fenty Ease Drops or MAC Face & Body
Favorite subtler highlighter? MAC Cream Color Base in Shell
Favorite MLBB lip product? NARS Rikugien
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite sheerer foundation? it’s discontinued but it was Shiseido Sheer and Perfect (and it was both) – I have some that I’ve been meting out in a miserly fashion to make it last.
Favorite subtler highlighter? Probably the “highlight” shade in the Smashbox Step by Step Contour Kit. It’s probably the only highlighter I own that could possibly qualify as “subtler” because, to my mind, what’s the point??? So I rarely use it.
Favorite MLBB lip product? Burt’s Bees Red Dahlia lip balm or MAC Capricious.
Skintone- light, EL futurist skin tint in 2C, Rare Beauty tinted moisturizer in 20W( I”ve now answered the first question) Also the BB vitamin enriched tint in LIght.
Favorite subtle highlighter- The BB luxe cheek and highlight palette in the light- med has a very nice one that also works well as an eyeshadow. I also love but so much $$$ Chantecaille radiance serum
Favorite MLBB colors- I really only wear sheer balmy types of lipsticks so Chantecaille lip chics- Bourbon Rose, Prairie Smoke, Yarrow. Chantecaille tinted balm in Beach Rose. The BB tinted balms, my favorite is the Extra nude. Gucci sally honey and Surratt chuchoter and Nars Dolce Vita
Your skin tone/coloring: Very Fair with neutral to cool undertones, grey hair and dark brown eyes.
Favorite sheerer foundation? My recently discovered concoction of Chanel Foundations: Water Fresh Tint, Complexion Touch and No1. If I had to pick one I would likely go with Complexion Touch.
Favorite subtler highlighter? Not sure the point of a subtle highlighter, LOL! Honestly, I would have to say that I don’t think I own a subtle highlighter. Maybe one of the Hourglass highlighter’s are the closest I could come. They are probably more elegant than subtle but the remainder that I have are pretty blinding.
Favorite MLBB lip product? I am still searching for the perfect MLBB shade. Right now I use a lot of Dior rouge 100 Nude when I want just a little color. The color is a bit wrong for a true MLBB but I am enjoying it. I have just ordered a Hindash Lipstick in the shade, Rest In Roses which is a medium, muted mauve/pink which appears close from my monitor but monitor’s are so often not accurate.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite sheerer foundation? At the moment, L’Oreal’s Serum foundation in Light. Quite a sheer foundation that just covers my imperfect and uneven skin tones on my face.
Favorite subtler highlighter? Nope, I don’t have one of those
Favorite MLBB lip product? Maybelline’s Mauve for Me lipstick
Your skin tone/coloring:
Under my name; copper hair; hazel/green eyes.
Favorite sheerer foundation?
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue in Opal.
Favorite subtler highlighter?
I don’t wear subtle highlighters.
Favorite MLBB lip product?
Urban Decay Vice Lipstick in Sheer Rapture (DC).
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/fair-light neutral
Favorite sheerer foundation? Wet n Wild tinted hydrator—can be build up to medium, or sheered out with a damp sponge for lighter coverage. Either way, a beautiful finish!
Favorite subtler highlighter? Nabla Skin Glazing in Privilege. Not too white, not too sparkly—it melts into the skin for a smooth, wet glow.
Favorite MLBB lip product? A long-since discontinued MAC sheer lipstick in Almondine (a fairly neutral coral). But any light/mid-depth coral mixed with a balm pulls MLBB on me, so that’s what I usually do.
Your skin tone/coloring: Above, grey-green eyes, I hope my hair will still be dark brown when it grows out.
Favorite sheerer foundation? I need one, but I don’t have one. Buying foundations online is tricky. It’s also not much fun when the local stores don’t carry very many brands. I think they all have Lancome, EL, Clinique, and some more of the big ones. They don’t have Dior or Chanel nor Fenty for example.
Favorite subtler highlighter? I use Hourglass Ambient Lighting Finishing Powder in Ethereal Light as a highlighter most of the time.
Favorite MLBB lip product? I think my lips have an odd colour in themselves, MAC Hey Frenchie cam quite close. Of course the whole edition was DCed after not being on the market for long at all. Annoying!
Your skin tone: fair to light neutral, hazel eyes, red hair what I was supposed to be
Favorite sheer foundation: Chanel Vitalumiere and No 1
No highlighter
MLBB: NARS Dolce Vita lipstick
Your skin tone/coloring: Skin: Medium – Tan – Neutral leaning Cool – Olive –
Eyes: Amber – Hair level 6 ash brown
Favorite sheerer foundation? MAC F&B C5 & C7 mixed with a touch of Green color corrector / No7 Hydraluminous AquaRelease TM
Favorite subtler highlighter? Laura Mercier
Favorite MLBB lip product? MUFE Sassy Rhubarb / HoneyBee Gardens lipliner in Perfection / Moira lipliner in HoneyRose / Essence This is Nude Lipstick
