Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Go-to foundation/concealer for summer? The combo of MAC Prolongwear Concealer and Waterproof Foundation (bulletproof even if I sweat)
Favorite face primer? Paula’s Choice Primer SPF Serum
Best setting powder? MAC Blotting Powder (works for retouch / blotting as well 😆 )
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Go-to foundation/concealer for summer? I don’t wear foundation, particularly in summer so a tinted sunscreen – Australian Gold – is my summer skin “colour”; Concealer – Dior Forever Skin Correct Concealer (not sure if it’s been renamed, reformulated or discontinued…)
Favorite face primer? Becca Backlight Priming Filter (I’m glad I have a backup or two as Becca is no longer around….story of my makeup wearing life!)
Best setting powder? Even though I don’t usually wear foundation, I do like setting powders and have LOT of them; I think my favourite are Hourglass Veil Setting powder (pains me to say it, as I have a big grudge against Hourglass) and Becca Pink Haze Softlight Blurring Powder (the tub is SO big I don’t think I’ll ever run out). I also often use Hourglass Ambient LIght Powder in Ethereal Light to set my under eye concealer and my whole face (this is a product I purchased BEFORE developing my grudge). I’ve several other colourless or translucent powders (loose and pressed) that I like from NARS, Shiseido, MUFE, MAC, Bourjois (their Poudre de Riz, now also discontinued, is so lovely) and Coty and I love them all!
YOUR SKIN TONE/COLORING:
Under my name; copper hair; hazel/green eyes.
GO-TO FOUNDATION/CONCEALER FOR SUMMER?
Foundation – Laura Geller Baked Balance-and-Brighten Foundation in Porcelain. Concealer – I wear Sephora Collection Bright Future Gel Serum Concealer in Bavarian year round.
FAVORITE FACE PRIMER?
Milk Hydro Grip
BEST SETTING POWDER?
RCMA No Color Powder and e. l. f. High Definition Powder.
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, brown hair.
Go-to foundation/concealer for summer? I’ve been using the Paula’s Choice Super Light Daily Wrinkle Defense Moisturizer/Sunscreen in place of foundation, with the Shiseido Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer. The PC sunscreen provides very light coverage, but a more matte and perfecting finish and the concealer stays in place well over my base and provides enough coverage to cover my redness and dark circles. It’s a lovely combo.
Favorite face primer? A combo of Fervor Prebiotic Drops, Colourpop Strawberry Face Milk, and Vichy Mineral 89 Hyaluronic Face Serum.
Best setting powder? I don’t use setting powder; I just don’t like the way it looks on me.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light, neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair
Go-to foundation/concealer for summer? My year-round favorites are Estée Lauder Double Wear and Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer.
Favorite face primer? I don’t use one.
Best setting powder? MAC Blot Powder to set my concealer and Anastasia Beverly Hills Loose Powder to set the rest of my face.
Skin tone/coloring: NC15
Summer foundation/concealer: Combo Lauder Hydra Rescue Foundation/Lancome Teint Idole concealer
Primer: Lauder Universal Primer
Setting powder: OG MUFE
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair – Nars Deauville / Chantecaille Vanilla
Go-to foundation/concealer for summer? Shiseido Synchro Skin, and Chantecaille Tinted Moisturiser Just Skin. I’m trying out the Shiseido tinted moisturiser ay the moment and liking that too.
Favorite face primer? Milk Hydrogrip
Best setting powder? I don’t have a consistent one at the moment. Rae Morris Invisible powder and Hourglass Dim light are in current rotation
