    Default A Few Raves & A Rant

    Finally gave in and went to MAC for foundation. I was hoping that at least THEY would have something that matches my skin tone... nothing else does! They had a nice foundation, and it blends in great. I love it. I'm finally able to paint mah face and not look either too white or too pink. BUT! I asked for pressed powder to go with... and the lady gave me the shade that is the powder equivalent to the foundation. This, however... sucks. When I put on the powder over the foundation, my face is a shade redder than the rest of me. UGH!

    Back to raving... Mascara! I still use Revlon's 3D Extreme for volume, but I discovered that the black side (it comes with regular mascara on one side, and a highlighting color on the other) of the MAX Factor Vivid Impact separates lashes SO well! No clumpy spider lashes for me!

    This is the best shot of my lashes that I have ATM:

    You can exchange the powder I think. Just say it doesn't match right.

    Yeah, that pisses me off too how the "coordinating" powder shade at MAC never matches the damn liquid. Now I always try it in the store to make damn sure I'm not going to look like a clown if I just take their word for it.

    Since the store is an hour away, I'm going to use it as an eyeshadow (I use a lot of press powders, blushes, and bronzers as shadows) until its empty then take the case with me to the store to get a better shade. At least if I take it with me, I know which # NOT to get LOL.

    they should have in their computer what youve purchased before, so you dont even have to take the container in. you can just ask them if you dont remember which one it is.

    You totally have my sympathy when it comes to buying foundation. Nothing ever matches me correctly. I'm a little bit lighter than most porcelain shades and slightly pinky. Drugstore and most department store brands don't work. It leaves me very limited in my choices and I don't like the finishes of the ones that match. Totally a PITA!

    And I'm pale but not OMG White, and I'm olive skinned... so all the pale pinks never work. Most of the yellowy shades at stores are like... real dark compared to me. Oi!

    Doh! The stuff I find is always either too olivey or orange. The pinks are closer but still have too much color. Just can't win, can ya?

    I've been two steps away from trying white grease paint on occasion lol. I'm scare the neighbors pale.

    I'm also pale olive. (Russian-Jewish ancestry + no sun.) And yeah, almost nobody makes a pale olive tone. I guess they assume that anyone who can tan, will. The only things I've ever found that work as foundation were a sample from a department store -- several years ago and unidentifiable! -- and a Neutrogena concealer. It's kind of expensive to use concealer as foundation, but for some reason it works great for me and doesn't look cakey at all under the lights...

    Haven't tried MAC, yet.

    Also, I just wanted to say: DAMN, Paige, you look good. I totally see how guys want to roll over and submit as soon as you enter the room. Because DAMN. =)

    You look so purdy!

    I'd steer clear of MAC's powders... try Laura Mercier's Translucent Powder- it's completely pigment free and will matte and blend into ANY foundation. I've used it on the very pale to the darkest complexions. YOu need to "press and roll" it on with a velour puff for the best result.

    Have you tried T. LeClerc. I found it from makeupally recs a few years back. Their loose powder in Banane and Nacre are both awesome.
