Great Winter Foundations!

*CD IS HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-------


Okay we all know the love I have for the MSF medium dark? I have used this on a daily basis ever since I first bought it last year as a foundation..it's amazing!!!, but we all know different seasons equals different foundation formula (while for most woman)...so...




MSF: A luxurious domed face powder with minerals, slowly baked to provide a dimensional yet natural-matte finish. Provides perfect low coverage. Use to set and fix foundation or as a touch-up throughout the day.


Since Fall/Winter is here I switched my foundation to mineralize satinfinish(NC42) Wow!!! your talking so much radiances and glow and not in greasy oily way either and studio tech (NC 43) gives you a soft matte coverage...perfect winter foundation for dry skin.




Mineralize Satinfinish: A fluid foundation that blends the natural light-reflecting properties of micro-minerals with a smooth satin finish. Provides a low-to-medium buildable coverage with a skin-flattering, slightly luminous look. Helps make your skin appear, radiant, healthy, re- energized. Contains vitamins A, C and E to help nurture and condition the skin. Provides everyday broad spectrum UVA/UVB SPF 15 sun protection. Long-wearing. Good for all skins. Especially suitable for normal-dry skins.



Studio Tech: Totally tech. A tri-system blend of water, emollients and powder. Looks solid, glides on as a soft, creamy emulsion. Provides a natural matte, powder-perfect finish. Smooth to blend, easy to work with: provides a full range of coverage. Water-cooled - refreshes and hydrates skin. Light diffusing: softens lines, creates a fresh, flawless finish. Good on all skin types. Studio Tech is dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic and safe for contact lens wearers.

MAC - Brunette Blonde Redhead MSF's

courtesy of pavlova615 at makeupalley.net




*BunnyBunnyBunny gave a great review on how the MSF's look very much so similar to the bobbi brown's shimmerbricks. She's states her favorite and break down the color scheme in each :)

Her review...
Redhead - My favorite!! Overall it's a peachy golden hue. It includes a sheer frosty gold, pale gold bronze, a peach bronze, and finally a pinky-peach salmon color. It's so gorgeous and gives a peachy coral glow to the face. I can't wait to marry it to my Sunbasque blush powder!

Brunette - I like this one, but it is very brown overall and not my personal taste on myself. It will work SO well for deeper complexions though. I can't wait to put it on people! It starts with a frosty peach-bronze, then to an orange tan shimmer, to a deep copper, to a rich copper-bronze. Gorgeous, but really pale brunettes may want to take a look at Redhead or Blonde as well to choose one for herself.

Blonde
- This one will be popular. Everyone likes a pink glow and MAC knows it. It starts at a pale white-pink shimmer, then goes to a mid-tone gold pink, to a pale-rose frost, to a rich rose. This one is gorgeous!"

--------
How to apply:

Apply your Blush on the apples of cheeks.Finish with a dusting of your Shimmer Brick Compact of choice along cheekbones.

Highlight your eyes by applying the lightest shade from the on browbone.

Perfect your cheeks (all you need is the perfect brush)



If you have an olive complexion you may want to try a deep peachy-pink blush. Deep peachy pinks will highlight and bring out your natural 'flush'. You can also get a beautiful effect by mixing a little pink blush with bronzer - beautiful!

If you have a tawny (or tanned) complexion you might try a golden pink or peachy blush. These compliment yellow undertones and look very natural.

* you can wear plummy/pinky colors as well(just use the 187/129 brush)



If you have a dark complexion think in shades of rich berry, deep purples, deep rose. Stay away from light or pale shades that will wash you out. The rich deep shades will look very natural and compliment your dark

* you can wear peachy/pink colors as well (just use the 129/187/109 brush)



If you have a fair complexion try a pale pink or peach blush. Stay away from rich or dark colors. Pale pinks or peach will brighten your complexion without looking unnatural.

* you can wear plummy colors as well (just use the 187 brush)
